I saw a Nishikigoi up close for the first time, but they were bigger than I expected. I was so happy that when I sat close to them thinking they were going to give me food, they all gathered around me 🎶I got thirsty in the middle of the night, but there were no vending machines, so it was a bit interesting to wander around.The macarons in the lounge were so delicious that I couldn't help but ask the staff at the inn where they sold them, but it didn't seem like they sold them at the inn. Now that I know I can buy it, I will buy it 🫶🏻 I found some delicious sweets 🫶🏻 Thank you 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Overall it was a great value for money accommodation.Although I arrived before check-in time, I was grateful that I was able to check in early. When you step inside the building, you will find a luxurious and wonderful interior. I was surprised to see an all-you-can-drink welcome drink, sweets, and alcohol. The most enjoyable part of the trip is the hot springs, which are emerald green and will make your skin smooth, and the wonderful hot water will not disappoint! Dinner was also full of food and great customer service. Also, the morning buffet has seafood bowls and fresh grape juice🍹, and the selection exceeds expectations. When I paid the bill, I was deeply moved by the message of thanks from the dinner staff.Unfortunately, I'm about to check out. I'll do my best at work starting next week so I can come again.

I had stayed there once a few years ago and was really looking forward to it, but I was surprised to see several little flies flying around during dinner. There were flies sitting on my food, which made me feel really bad. Instead of changing all the food, he just slapped the fly in front of the meal and laughed and tried to pretend it hadn't happened. To be honest, this is my first time at an inn like this. lolI went there with my family of 3.There are no futons or pillows provided for children.That was also very disappointing.I think the quality has gone down.Everything else was very good.I think it's improved because I think I'll go again.I wish🤲

🏣134 Tsukioka Onsen, Shibata City, Niigata Prefecture🅿️🚗…Yes.🚃…Tsukioka Onsen Station(Shuttle car 🚙 available)*Check-in 15:00, out 10:00We were also given a welcome drink and sweets in the lobby.*Niigata is said to be the prefecture with the third most hot springs in Japan.Tsukioka Onsen used to be a spa resort.Currently it is a resort hot spring area.(good quality of money)I think the retro Tsukioka Onsen town is also a great place to stroll around.There was a place with a footbath along the way.Tsukioka used to be a wooded hill with not many people living there...Tsukioka Onsen is said to have a history of about 100 years, with hot springs suddenly gushing out from a well being excavated in 1917.*The private hot spring ``Shiratama-no-Yu'' is also a flowing yellow hot spring containing the best hot spring ingredients in Japan, and its color changes to emerald green depending on the time and sunlight.The open-air bath can be enjoyed in a circular style, with a rock bath, a cypress bath, a lying bath, and a sitting bath.Once you get out of the water, you can enjoy the shrimp miso soup (try it before your meal).At the restaurant, the food will be brought to you at the exact time you want it.It was a fun time to look at and taste.Outside the room, I could see the fields with ripening rice ears like a painting (don't get tired of looking at the outside scenery)...It seems that the weather is bad and the rice ears fall down, making it difficult.*Although it was my first time at Tsukioka Onsen, I enjoyed the inn and walking around the town (I was given a ride from the inn to the shopping district 🚙)I had a relaxing time from check-in to check-out (I was also happy to see fresh flowers arranged everywhere).I would like to visit you again in a different season. Dear employees, my name is Hanamaru.

Just a word of wonderful: the attentiveness of the staff, the luxury of the lobby, the quality of the hot springs, and the deliciousness of the food. I didn't go out, but I thought the slope on the way back might be tough for a walk around the area.

3 stars is appropriate. An inn sprinkled with the essence of Niigata Prefecture, a degraded version of Kagaya. The building site, which was invested with money earned during the bubble economy, is gorgeous and has the appearance of a mass of aestheticism. All-you-can-drink family restaurant drinks and all-you-can-eat business super desserts. A nondescript indoor pool, paid yukata and free table tennis. A lonely game center... A poorly paid office worker will be able to gain the respect of his family when he brings them on a family trip. Even if I ignore the parts that are not well-maintained, I can still feel the hospitality (lol), so I think this is a representative inn in Niigata. This is the 4th place chosen by professionals, so please do your best and save up your money. I'll ignore the food. I won't be fooled, will I? It's 2 stars. The room on the top floor...is a love hole...well, most of them are the same...

The hot water at Tsukioka Onsen is very gentle, has a sulfur scent, and shines an emerald green color, making it a big hit with families.

Previously, the welcome drink that was available in a glass was now available in a plastic cup. I once again realized that even the same drink can change so much depending on the glass. I think it would be difficult to wash the glass, but I would like to drink from the glass, even if the accommodation fee is increased.

I was very impressed with the attentive service such as welcome sweets and drinks, and the hot springs with a strong and concentrated sulfur smell. The food was of average quality, but I don't think it can be helped in a large accommodation facility like Kaho due to the serving time. It was even more surprising to be able to bathe in a hot spring of this scale that didn't smell like chlorine. There is also an indoor pool, which is recommended for families with children.

I liked the hot springs and the service.However, when I made a reservation for my summer vacation, I had a plan to use hand-held fireworks, but the hotel provided me with geta shoes to wear outside.Please stop wearing getaThanks to all of you, my mother fell and broke a bone.I ended up in a wheelchair overnight, and the hotel staff didn't even talk to me the next morning as they felt like they were touching my boil. We are grateful that we were able to borrow a wheelchair at our request, but since this is a facility used by elderly people, I think it would be best if you refrain from wearing geta (clogs). thank you very much.

The room seemed better than what I saw online. The view from the room, lobby, and lounge were great. The food is average. The quality of the hot springs was so strong that the smell of sulfur stuck to my skin until the next day.

I think it's a great place to experience the feel of a Japanese inn. I have stayed here about 3 times in the past 5 years. The quality of the hot springs is also good, and the dinner is delicious and has a lot of variety. The room is simple and costs around 60,000 to 70,000 for 2 people for 1 night and 2 days.A room with a jacuzzi will cost around 10,000 yen, but if you want to spend 80,000 yen, we recommend the all-suite Koshi no Sato in the annex of the hotel.

I went to Yukaho in Shiratama! This is a hot spring inn located about 40 minutes by car from Niigata Station. The Niigata Samadhi course was the best dish here, and I was able to enjoy plenty of Niigata's seasonal fish and meat. There is a wide variety of drink menus, and you will be very satisfied if you can enjoy them with delicious alcohol. The rooms have a calm Japanese atmosphere and are very relaxing. The view of the greenery from the window was very open and soothing. The hot springs are also pleasant and a wonderful place to refresh your mind and body. If you want to enjoy Niigata's delicious food and hot springs, be sure to visit Yukaho in Shiratama!
