It was a very enjoyable stay for our kindergarten-aged child. Both dinner and breakfast were full of foods kids love. They had fun making their own ice cream, and they could also bring chocolate syrup and chocolate toppings from a separate area to create their own pancakes. (We wished there had been pancake syrup in the kids’ corner.) The Onsen temperature was set low for children (it might feel lukewarm for adults), and our child stayed in for about an hour. The only downside was that the photos in the information showed a drum washing machine, but there wasn’t one in reality. Other than that, they offer lots of children’s activities, so I think it’s an excellent Hotel for families with kids. We’d like to come again in winter.

We stayed here as a couple on a clear October day, just as the autumn colors were beginning to appear. About 15 minutes from Echigo-Yuzawa along the mountain road beside the Kiyotsu River, you’ll spot the sign; after passing a leaf-strewn side path and crossing a single-lane bridge, the charming Kaikake Onsen comes into view. The inn has been beautifully renovated while preserving its historic, traditional farmhouse-style architecture, creating a wonderful presence that blends seamlessly with the surrounding nature. Our Japanese-style room (two 10-tatami rooms) had two single beds set up in one of the rooms, and it was a comfortable space with views of the green mountainside from the window. The hot spring is said to be around 37°C at the source, making both the open-air bath and lukewarm bath ideal for long soaks. The water feels clean and non-slippery, with a gentle sensation that seems to wash away impurities from your skin. I was especially surprised that my wife—who usually takes very quick baths—soaked longer than I did for over 30 minutes. Dinner was also extremely satisfying. Starting with freshly cooked Uonuma-grown new rice, we enjoyed an array of dishes that delighted both eye and palate: rare river fish such as char (iwana) served as sashimi and grilled with salt, local “mochi pork,” and more. Everything paired perfectly with iwana sake as well as local sake such as Tsuru-rei and Hakkaisan, allowing us to fully savor Echigo’s flavors. A truly wonderful inn worthy of its reputation among Japan’s hidden hot spring retreats. We would love to return in another season.

I stayed here on the day of the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival. Even though my Shinkansen arrived late, you came to pick me up, which was a great help. Also, being able to use the large public bath 24 hours a day was perfect for soothing my tired body. Staying at NASPA New Otani made this a wonderful trip. Thank you very much.

A repeat stay. I visit regularly, so I have nothing to complain about.

We stayed here after descending from Mt. Naeba. Thank you for allowing us to park our car from the morning and for serving us dinner even though we arrived late. Although I am a local of Niigata, the dishes, such as Kanto-style kenchin soup and grilled sweetfish, were different from the traditional Uonuma style but deeply satisfying and nourishing after the hike. The warm bath was incredibly relaxing, and we rested soundly afterward. The three of us stayed in a spacious room that felt like a training camp atmosphere, making it very comfortable. Breakfast was just the right amount, and with a later check-out time, we fully enjoyed Naeba's refreshing morning air. We will definitely stay again if we climb nearby mountains in the future. Please give our regards to your lovely dog Ku-chan who didn’t bark at us! (The photo is taken at Mt. Naeba’s summit.)

Great Room, great meals—completely satisfied! The Onsen is a bit of a distance away, but we enjoyed it and even found local mountain vegetables for sale.

This was my second stay. The staff at the facility were just as kind and attentive as last time, making my stay very comfortable. The food was delicious, and the Onsen was excellent.
