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.

When I thought of Naeba Prince Hotel, I associated it with Fuji Rock and Yuming’s concerts, but the Onsen water quality was exceptionally good. It has a different type of spring water than Yuzawa, and although it was far from our Room, I went in many times. It’s worth visiting just for this Onsen alone. The staff were all friendly, and even at checkout the front desk staff chatted with us about various things—it was fun and convincing! My friend and I said, “As expected from a Prince Hotel.” This is a Hotel I definitely want to visit again. Thank you for taking care of us.

Our family of four stayed in a Room with a loft. The Room was spotlessly clean, and both the beds and the futons in the loft were comfortable, so we had a very relaxing stay. The meals were generous and delicious for both breakfast and dinner, and for our family—where the kids eat a lot—we really appreciated being able to get refills of rice, miso soup, and salad. Above all, the bath was amazing! The jacuzzi tub felt wonderful and warmed us up after skiing in the cold. The staff were kind as well, and we were able to stay comfortably even with children. Thank you very much. On a personal note, when I forgot something on our way home, they handled my call kindly and quickly sent it to me cash on delivery. Thank you for your help. We will definitely stay again. Thank you very much.

We stayed for the use of Kagura Ski Resort. The shuttle service between the station and the property, as well as between the property and the ski resort, was adjusted to our schedule, which was really helpful. You can also make a reservation for a full set of ski rentals, and there are items available for rent at the property. The amenities for women were perfectly arranged, comparable to a hotel. The washroom and toilet were warm and comfortable. The meals were always plentiful (sorry we couldn't finish them), and they included dessert, which was delicious. The staff's friendly smiles were comforting. It was a warm property that we would like to use again if we have the opportunity. Thank you very much.

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.

The room was very clean! I used this accommodation for skiing. It had everything I needed. It felt very affordable, so I will stay again!
