  • A truly wonderful hotel. The service is warm and attentive, the linens and bed are very comfortable, and you can see the deep blue Sea of Japan from your room. I also think the breakfast is the best in Japan. I recommended it to friends who are used to luxury travel as a must-stay when visiting Niigata, and they loved it. Having such an outstanding local hotel really reflects Niigata’s high cultural standards.

  • My family and I stayed here to attend a performance at a nearby hall. It’s a little far from Niigata Station, but since we were driving it wasn’t an issue, and the affiliated parking lot was right next door, which was very convenient. The staff frequently checked in with us, and they were kind and helpful with our questions, which made us feel at ease.I especially recommend the breakfast, which offers a great selection of local specialties made with regional ingredients. We could try small portions of many different dishes, and everything was delicious—we were very satisfied.On the day of our stay, we received an upgrade to a more spacious Room, which made it even more relaxing. Thank you very much. This time we stayed for one night for a specific purpose, but there are still many places we’d like to visit and plenty of great food to try, so we hope to return for a longer stay next time.
