Niigata Japan in summer! This time we visited Niigata prefecture, just 2 hours by shinkansen from Tokyo station and stayed at a wonderful Japanese Ryokan that has an indoor heated pool and private onsen overlooking Niigata’s stunning rice fields!

Niigata prefecture is very easy to reach from Tokyo. It’s only about 2 hours by the bullet train (shinkansen), no transfer, from Tokyo Station to Niigata station. From Niigata station, take a local train for 20 minutes to Toyosaka station, the closest station to Tsukioka Onsen. From there, the hotel provides free shuttle bus from Toyosaka station to the hotel. The shuttle bus takes another 20 minutes.

This time we stayed at Niigata Tsukioka Onsen Shiratama No Yu Kaho Hotel/Ryokan. Our stay was last year, 2023. This is by far the biggest ryokan that we’ve ever been to in Japan. They have both public onsen and private outdoor onsen. Some rooms have onsen bath too, like the one we stayed at. It was hot in Niigata in the summer time! But the Onsen was still so relaxing. We got an outdoor hot spring bath overlooking beautiful rice fields! which was exactly what we were looking for! The hotel also has an indoor heated pool which our son loved! But the most outstanding point was their foods! SASHIMI, wagyu steak and shabu-shabu was absolutely AMAZING! Both quality and quantity! 👍👍
