A mountain-village retreat overlooking Mount Ogan
Niigata Joetsu City
Located on a scenic hillside rich in nature in Yoshikawa Ward, Joetsu City, Nagamine Onsen Yuttarinosato is a public day-use hot spring facility beloved by local residents. Its biggest draw is the open-air bath with a spectacular panoramic view of Mount Ogan. The spring water is sodium chloride spring (highly saline, mildly alkaline), known as a warming bath that helps keep you warm long after bathing and is gentle on the skin. The bath area has a Japanese-style side and a Western-style side, which are offered on alternating days for men and women. The Japanese-style bath has a dry sauna, while the Western-style bath has a mist sauna, allowing for different sweating experiences. The cold plunge bath is kept at a gentle 20 to 25 degrees, making it easy on the body. The open-air area also has chairs that recline fully flat, so you can relax in the quiet mountain village air.
