Global rating :  | |
| Most people imagine onsen hidden in a mountain, nested next to a river or offering a gorgeous view on the sea. This onsen is not falling in any of those category. Instead, it is on the roof of a modern concrete 13-stories hotel in the heart of Echigo Yuzawa, next to the shinkansen tracks! At just 5 minutes by foot from the station, it is however a convenient way to wait for your next train. Don't miss in the hall the pictures taken on the ski fields during the first part of the 20th century: resorts were more crowded than they are now... | |
| Size : | |
| Large baths are available inside, as well as one octagonal rotenburo, which probably can hosts up to 6 persons. | |
| View : | |
| The view is unusual, but still spectacular: from the roof - and therefore the bath - you can see every part of Yuzawa, the surrounding ski fields and the nearby shinkansen tracks entering the tunnel. | |
| Area : | |
| Apart being a famous onsen town, Yuzawa also provide some of the best ski fields in the area. Directly connected to Tokyo by the shinkansen, this place is literally invaded during the winter's week-ends by skiers and snowboarder from the capital. Not only the place is quickly accessible, but also cheap package combining train and ski tickets are available, like for the JR-owned ski field GALA Yuzawa, where the train station and the gondola are located in the same building, just separated by the ski rental facility! Finally, some of the finest sake of Niigata-ken can be found there. Don't miss the sake tasting area located in the Echigo Yuzawa station, where visitors can enjoy five sake for 500 yens only! | |
) Located just next to the shinkansen tracks, you can often see some trains from the bath | ||
