An inn where a spectacular sauna overlooking the Echigo Plain and an open-air hot spring bath lead you to the ultimate totonou experience

Niigata Tagami Town, Minamikanbara District

"Yudagami Onsen Hotel Oyanagi" is a hot spring ryokan in Tagami Town, Niigata Prefecture, with sweeping panoramic views of the tranquil countryside of the Echigo Plain from the slightly elevated top floor. Its signature hot spring is the famed Yudagami Onsen (sodium chloride spring), known for keeping you warm long after bathing and offering excellent therapeutic benefits. The public bath saunas differ for men and women: the men's bath features the Bō Sauna with a large window overlooking spectacular scenery and an automatic löyly system, along with a refreshing cold plunge bath; the women's bath features a gentle self-löyly sauna that is kind to the skin and a cold plunge bath with a softer temperature. Luxurious guest rooms are also available, combining sauna, cold plunge bath, open-air hot spring bath, and records.

Hot Spring & Bath Information

Panoramic Public Bath and Open-Air Bath

TypeNatural Hot Spring

The historic Yudagami Onsen is held in the top-floor public bath on a slightly elevated level. Because the water contains salt, it offers excellent heat retention and bathing benefits, warming you right down to the core and making you less likely to cool off afterward. Its gentle, slightly alkaline feel is pleasant on the skin and helps softly relieve neuralgia and fatigue. From the indoor bath with its large glass windows and the panoramic open-air bath where you can feel the wonderful breeze, you can take in the grand panoramic view of the Echigo Plain.

Guest Room Open-Air Bath

TypeNatural Hot Spring

A private open-air bath for guest-room use, located on the exclusive balcony of the TAKUMI-S room. You can enjoy a premium bath experience, with the famous Yudagami Onsen all to yourself and a panoramic view of the Echigo Plain spread out below. This is a luxurious bath where you can savor exquisite water that warms you to the core and stunning scenery in your own private space.
