교카세역 × 식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I made a Reservation without knowing the area, as it was my first time going to Niigata Racecourse, but the Hotel was in a lively district near Niigata Station and close to a bus stop, so getting around was easy. The front desk staff were very kind, and although the Room was compact, it was comfortable. I visited during heavy rain, but I also tried the stone sauna for the first time and enjoyed it. This is a Hotel I would like to stay at again.

Although we arrived in rainy weather, we were warmly welcomed by many staff members, making for a wonderful start that almost felt more than we deserved. The building, designated as a Tangible Cultural Property, has a rich sense of history, yet it is meticulously maintained throughout, allowing us to relax in complete comfort. In addition to the pleasantly warm and soothing Onsen, the cuisine was truly outstanding. On departure, they even took a complimentary commemorative photo and later sent it to our home—such a thoughtful gesture that made this an unforgettable memory. Everything was exceptional, including the hospitality, and this is an Accommodation we would love to stay at again. Thank you very much.

This was my second stay this year. It’s conveniently located near the station, with many restaurants nearby. The building looks a bit old from the outside, but it seems to have been renovated, and everything is very clean throughout. The breakfast venue staff were very kind and attentive. Breakfast featured many local dishes made with regional ingredients; everything was delicious, and I ate a lot. I was so full that I couldn’t try every item, but I’d like to recommend it to my family and friends. This time the Accommodation was quite affordable, and during this period we also received an additional discount through the Go To Travel campaign. Thank you for letting us stay at this price. I’d like to stay again.

The bath and in-room dining were both excellent. This is an Accommodation we would definitely like to visit again.

This Accommodation was in a wonderful location—close to both the mountains and the river, and just a few minutes’ walk from the station. Most memorable of all was the emerald-green Onsen with its soothing sulfur scent. It felt so good that we ended up soaking five or six times during our one-night stay, and as Onsen lovers we were completely satisfied. The two-tier layout—with a hotter bath and a lukewarm bath—was also very convenient, letting us enjoy alternating temperatures. We also appreciated that both dinner and breakfast were not overly large, but just the right amount. There were many local specialties, and we especially enjoyed the pudding made with freshly laid eggs from a nearby poultry farm, as well as the Onsen eggs. The next day we even visited the poultry farm you recommended and bought some eggs to take home! Above all, everyone at the front desk and in the restaurant was incredibly kind. They spoke to us warmly and helped us with all sorts of questions about sightseeing spots. Thanks to you, my child and I had a truly wonderful trip together. We are sincerely grateful. It was an unforgettable Accommodation—one that makes us want to return next time with my father and my daughter as well. Thank you very much.

On the day we arrived, it was pouring rain, so we left our luggage at the Hotel first and took a taxi to the concert venue. Some roads were flooded, but we arrived safely. On the way back, the rain had stopped, but when we returned to the Hotel, most of the nearby izakaya were already closing for the evening. We picked up some items at a convenience store, chilled drinks in the fridge, and relaxed in the large public bath to unwind. We also took our time with a morning bath and felt refreshed! We tried a variety of breakfast items as well, and the local specialty yellow watermelon for dessert was especially delicious. Next time we stay in Niigata, we would definitely like to stay here again.

The building is a bit old, but the service, meals, and Onsen were all excellent. The staff’s warm hospitality made our stay truly wonderful. Thank you very much.

Although the sky was unfortunately overcast, it was the perfect season to comfortably soak in the lukewarm natural spring water, and it felt wonderful! The meals are delicious and full of healthy options, and combined with the Onsen benefits, I feel better every time I stay. Perhaps because I kept coming back, my frozen shoulder has completely healed! The summer à la carte fried rock oysters were especially delicious—I’d love to have them again next year! This was my first Saturday stay, and I enjoyed listening to a jazz piano performance. It matched beautifully with the mysterious flicker of the bamboo lights in the garden and was incredibly soothing. There were familiar tunes and summer songs, and in the second half they even took requests, so there was a great variety of music and it was truly enjoyable. Ending with “Cradle Song” was also a stylish touch. I’m looking forward to visiting again in autumn.

The service was attentive, and it was a great Hotel. Above all, the breakfast was excellent. One issue: the Room hair dryer was a small model, and it became very hot quickly when used, which felt unsafe. The inside of the hair dryer was also full of dust, so that was the only disappointing point.

I had wanted, at least once, to step into “Salon Yamasato,” the private lobby lounge of Koshinosato—I've felt that way for the past 10 years. As we reached our 60th birthdays as a couple, we decided to make a Reservation and treat ourselves at this milestone. We truly loved the cuisine, amenities, and atmosphere. I was deeply impressed by the high-quality meals—it was an Accommodation with impeccable hospitality in every way. Also, the macarons and gelato at Kaho’s salon were absolutely top-class delicious—I couldn’t stop eating them. The flavor stayed with me, and I kept wondering what brand they were. It made me strongly want to come back again. Thank you very much. The concierge staff were also incredibly kind—simply wonderful.

I stayed here for a trip. It was in a very convenient location close to Niigata Station. I was worried because there is no affiliated parking, but there were plenty of parking lots around the Hotel, so it was not a problem at all. The Hotel is old, but it was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was just as the Reviews said: there were many options, and every dish was very delicious. There were two kinds of miso soup, and the clam miso soup was excellent. If I have the chance, I would like to stay at this Hotel again.

It was a truly wonderful Accommodation. Fresh flowers were beautifully arranged throughout the building, everything was spotless, and the lounge offerings—drinks and sweets—were excellent. The breakfast mochi was also outstanding! It was a lovely Accommodation that left our whole family very satisfied. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

I chose this Accommodation because of its high ratings, but it exceeded my expectations—one pleasant surprise after another. Some places these days feel short-staffed, but here the service from the kimono-clad staff was outstanding, and they answered every question warmly and perfectly. I was deeply moved after finishing in two days the biography of the first founder (the proprietress’s mother), written by the current proprietress—I ended up buying a copy. The building was filled with artworks and gorgeous fresh flowers, with thoughtful touches everywhere that anticipated every need. At breakfast and again at the entrance when we departed, the proprietress greeted us with a warm smile; her mother’s teachings clearly live on here. Niigata isn’t easy for us to visit from Kanto, but I truly want to come back with my family.

I’m happy I could choose a smoking Room, which has become quite rare these days. Since I stayed on Sunday, the large public bath was available from 18:00–21:00 and in the morning for women only, so I was able to use it both times and was very satisfied! There were also lots of manga, and I ended up getting absorbed in reading them. The breakfast venue was spacious, so I could enjoy my meal at a relaxed pace!

As bottled milk becomes harder to find, you can enjoy delicious Tsukada Milk here. I always look forward to it. Please promote it more to support local dairy farming.

I stayed in Room 311 in GATEI, and the tatami floor creaked a lot, so it might bother some people. Other than that, everything was very good. The bath was hot and kept me warm afterward, which felt great. There is a sauna, but no cold plunge pool, so you can’t use it the same way as a typical public bathhouse. The sulfur Onsen had quite a strong smell, though I thought that added to the atmosphere in its own way. The smell does linger throughout the Hotel, though. I only had breakfast, but it was very satisfying—especially the miso soup.

I traveled with my mother in her 80s. The staff, the meals, and the baths—everything exceeded our expectations. My mother was very happy too. We had a Multiple Night Stay, and they made sure the meals didn’t repeat, and everything was delicious. If I had one request, since it was a hot summer, I would have appreciated a refrigerator with a freezer compartment to freeze ice packs (it was refrigerator-only).

Both the space and the hospitality were very comfortable. At the end of dinner, rice and eel were served, but the eel was tough and the seasoning wasn’t to my taste. The rice was very delicious. As a Diamond member gift, I received rice. I plan to cook it in a clay pot. The bath is on the small side, but it was very clean with a faint sulfur scent—truly the best Onsen I’ve ever experienced. I was worried because I had facial allergies, but instead the itching went away and the redness subsided. Once again, I was impressed by the power of nature. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us.

Of the five Accommodations I stayed at on this trip, this one was the cheapest yet the best. The bed was large and very comfortable, and the Room had a calm atmosphere. Breakfast was included as a complimentary service, and everything—from chikuzen-ni to miso soup—was hearty and delicious. In any case, they had everything you could need, and I could really feel the owner’s hospitality. Thank you very much.

Two women in our 60s stayed here. We were very satisfied with the meals—especially the rice, which was so delicious that we ended up having seconds even though we were already full. The bottled water in the Room cost 200 yen, so we gave 4 stars as it would have been better if it were free. The baths were not crowded, and we could relax and soak at our leisure; the water was silky-smooth—truly worthy of its reputation as a skin-beautifying hot spring!
