Sakihana Onsen Bokukaku

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

The view from the Room over the Agano River to Mt. Hozu is wonderful. It is also close to the Agano River sightseeing boat pier across the river. The Onsen is a sulfur sulfate spring, and depending on the season it changes color to fresh bamboo green, celadon, or deutzia white (100% free-flowing from the source). The open-air bath is pleasantly lukewarm. Unusually for a Hotel, there is an irori hearth in the Room with charcoal already lit, creating a cozy atmosphere. The meals are generous—more than you can finish—with great seasoning, and the staff provide excellent service. They handle everyone smoothly, from group tours to individual travelers. The Room is kept very clean and comes with a large TV and even a sewing kit. A 2-minute walk from JR Hanasaki Station, this Accommodation stands on historic ground—the former battlefield of the Byakkotai—inviting reflection on Japan’s Meiji Restoration.
