"Kaikatei Kawai" is a hot spring ryokan located along the Echigo Nanatsuura Seaside Line in Nishikan Ward, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture. Perched on a hill, the inn offers sweeping views of the majestic Sea of Japan, dramatic rock formations sculpted by rough waves, and Sado Island floating in the distance. The hot spring is a sodium chloride spring that gently warms the body. The open-air bath, where you can feel the sea breeze, is especially inviting for long, relaxing soaks while admiring the beautiful seascapes throughout the seasons. The men's large bath area is equipped with a compact dry sauna, where you can slowly work up a sweat in the quiet heat before enjoying a refreshing outdoor air bath in the open-air space, accompanied by the pleasant sea breeze.
