Niigata Murakami City
An onsen inn with a spectacular open-air bath overlooking the Sea of Japan and a sauna in the sea breeze
Oedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Shiomiso is an onsen inn at Senami Onsen in Murakami, Niigata Prefecture. It enjoys a superb location facing the Sea of Japan, and from the main bathhouse and open-air bath you can take in grand panoramas of blue sky and sunsets to your heart’s content. The water is a silky chloride spring that wraps smoothly around the skin; it heats you to the core, and you stay warm long after you step out. The open-air bath with its view has a dry sauna and a one-person ceramic urn cold plunge alongside, and cooling off in the open air to the sound of the waves and the sea breeze makes for a sublime moment. After bathing, you can relax in style in the Premium Lounge, stocked with complimentary drinks, while gazing at the sea, and enjoy a refined resort stay to the full.

A panoramic main bathhouse and open-air bath with a sweeping view of the Sea of Japan and a wonderful sense of openness. The tubs are filled with the fine chloride spring water of Senami Onsen, silky and soft as it wraps gently around the skin. It holds heat well, and the warmth lingers long after bathing. By day, gaze at the deep blue sea and sky; at dusk, at the golden sun sinking into the sea, for an exquisite bath.

A dry sauna set in the open-air bath area. Solid heat envelops the body and draws out a pleasant sweat. In the quiet room you can take your time to reflect on yourself and sweat out the fatigue of body and mind. Out of the sauna, it is an easy step to the ceramic urn cold plunge right beside it and the spot for cooling off in the open air, with its sweeping view of the Sea of Japan. With the sound of the waves and the sea breeze all around you, you can enjoy sublime relaxation.
