Teradomari Cape Onsen Hotel Asuka

Because my husband is from Nagaoka, we come from Tokyo to Niigata every year during the Obon season. Our usual routine is to go swimming at Kakudahama Beach first, then stay at Hotel Asuka. The made-to-order dinner buffet is delicious, and the food comes out quickly. The dishes you can pick up anytime are also great, so I always end up eating too much. Both the long-time staff and the newer team members are truly pleasant and welcoming—it makes me feel at home. This is my favorite hotel that I look forward to visiting every year. We’ll be back again next year, so thank you in advance.

I stay here when I’m craving fish. For dinner, the recommended grilled salmon was perfect—great size and cooked just right. The edamame was freshly picked, boiled at the ideal timing with just the right amount of salt, and I even had seconds twice. I was impressed by the delicious rice at breakfast and the mehikari fish. Draft beer and hot sake go down easily. It’s also wonderful to soak in the Onsen while watching the sun set into the Sea of Japan.
