สถานีคิริฮาระ (จังหวัดนีงะตะ) × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

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.

The view of the Sea of Japan was breathtaking. From the Room window, I could lie on the futon and watch the sunset—pure happiness. Dinner was an incredible feast of seafood, and it was truly blissful. The most delicious dish was the grilled dancing abalone. The luxurious course left me so full I thought I might burst. The only reason for -1 star was that the indoor bath water was too hot for me. The open-air bath was just right. All of the staff were kind and courteous, which made our stay very pleasant. Thank you very much for taking care of us!

The seafood was delicious. The meal even included a whole crab, making it very filling. The sashimi was also excellent, and our whole family was very satisfied. Breakfast could be enjoyed while looking out at the sea. We also highly recommend the private sauna!

We ended up staying an extra two nights after the Nagaoka Fireworks. The location is very convenient for street food in Teradomari, fishing at the fishing port, and nearby beaches. The Facility itself is new and clean. The parking instructions were a bit hard to understand, but there is also parking in front of the Facility, and it seems fine to park there. The bath is not an Onsen, but if you look around, there are plenty of hot springs nearby. Highly recommended for international guests as well. We would love to stay again!

Teradomari offers a wide range of Hotels and Ryokan along its long coastline, making it hard to choose, but I was drawn to Hokushinkan, nestled in the mountains a little away from the shore. This renovated former therapeutic Accommodation features two types of lukewarm baths and only seven Rooms, which sounded perfect for a quiet stay, so I chose a Room with a private bath. The Room we stayed in had tasteful, refined interiors, and from the window we enjoyed fresh greenery in the mountains and garden as well as small birds. No slippers are needed inside the building. Both breakfast and dinner were beautifully presented and delicious, allowing us to relax and spend our time peacefully. We would love to return as a couple for a Multiple Night Stay next time. (We were so full that we couldn’t finish the rice and miso soup, so we’d like to try again.)

It feels like many years have passed, but I was really impressed by how clean and well maintained everything was! Because it was a sunny day, we were able to see the exact moment the sun set. At that time, everyone raised the roller blinds, and it made dinner with that beautiful sunset absolutely perfect. We wanted to sit by the window, so we asked to change seats, but it wasn’t possible. Since there were also day-trip guests, I guess it couldn’t be helped—but if there had been a little flexibility, it would have been truly perfect! Still, it turned into an amazing and enjoyable trip, and we’re very satisfied. I hope you continue to be a wonderful Ryokan forever—always clean and beautiful, with kindness and smiles. We visited as two generations of parent and child, and it became a great memory! We might want to go again!!!
