Accommodation Overlooking the Echigo Plain and Yahiko Mountain Range - Hoho -

We visited on a family trip to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The parking lot in front of the main entrance was full, but we were able to park in the guest-only area as there was space available. The Onsen in the open-air bath was wonderful, and the meals were packed with delicious Niigata dishes and plenty of sashimi, which our whole family enjoyed. Unfortunately, it seemed there was no live piano performance that day, but another guest played beautifully, and we had a lovely time with coffee. We would like to visit again in a different season. All of the staff were very pleasant—thank you very much.

From a distance, the exterior looks old and you might think, “Is this the place?”, but the inside has been nicely renovated. The service and hospitality were also very good. The shop in the morning opens late, so I thought I could buy souvenirs the next day, but we left early and ended up not being able to buy anything. We traveled with our dog, and although we couldn’t take our dog to meals, the in-Room crate was spacious. We put our own bed inside it, and perhaps because of travel fatigue, our dog waited quietly. Thanks to that, we were able to relax and enjoy dinner as well as the hot stone spa and baths.
