A lukewarm onsen and spectacular rooftop open-air bath overlooking the Echigo Sanzan mountains and the beautiful countryside of Uonuma

Niigata Uonuma City

"Magoi Isshin no Yado Hotel Kinomezaka" is a Showa-retro onsen inn in Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture (Muikamachi Onsen), overlooking the beautiful countryside of the Echigo Sanzan mountains and Koshihikari rice fields. Its pride is the onsen, which draws from a mild, skin-smoothing beauty bath called simple hot spring, with little irritation to the skin. The indoor baths include a hotter tub as well as a lukewarm bath at around 37°C where you can relax and talk at length without feeling tired after bathing. It also features a quiet dry sauna and a cool cold plunge bath. From the spectacular rooftop open-air bath, you can take in the vast natural scenery of Uonuma and the beautiful night sky in a panorama, while the sincere flavors of mountain and sea cuisine gently soothe both body and mind.
