ABOUT

About this ryokan

♨️A Well One Man Dug by Hand a Century Ago Became a Hidden Spring

Niigata · Ecchu-Nagano Onsen Myosen Waraku Rankeiso

A Hidden Onsen in the Valley, a Registered Cultural Property

🏞️A secluded Japanese inn along the Igarashi River stream, one of Niigata's hidden onsens
🏛️'Rokufukan,' a registered tangible cultural property relocated from an early-Showa-era teahouse
📺The building and garden served as a filming location for the drama 'Kawa, Itsuka Umi e' (written by Koki Mitani)

One of Japan's Strongest Cold Saline Springs

♨️A sodium-chloride cold spring with 15,670mg/kg of dissolved minerals, an exceptionally strong therapeutic water
🧂The spring emerges at 16.5°C and is warmed for bathing, with a salty taste reminiscent of kombu tea
💧Clear and colorless with water that clings gently to the skin, staying warm even through a long soak

Main Bath by the Stream and the Private 'Mountain Bath'

🛁The main bath (men's and women's) is open at all hours except cleaning time
🪨'Ishiyu' and 'Fukayu,' built from Igarashi River stones with sweeping upstream views
🔑From 16:00, guests take turns having the 'mountain bath' entirely to themselves

A Mountain Kaiseki of Wholesome Flavor, Cooked with Spring Water

🍲An authentic 'Sanri Kaiseki' featuring seasonal mountain greens, rice, and vegetables from the valley
🐟Freshwater dishes like carp arai, prepared with none of the usual muddy taste, using fish raised in the stream
⛲Cooked without tap water, using only the clear spring water of 'Maki no Seisui' for a pure flavor

A Signature Onsen-Water Rice Porridge Breakfast

🍚The signature 'onsen porridge,' boiled with nothing but spring water — no dashi, no seasoning — carrying a hint of kombu tea
🐟A thoughtful breakfast of miso-marinated salmon, house-made silken tofu, a small tray of mountain greens, and house-made yogurt
☕Sample the spring water and Murakami hojicha by the fireplace in the lounge

Three Wings, Each with Its Own Character

🏯The cultural-property building 'Rokufukan' (5 rooms) and 'Keiryukan,' with large windows looking over the valley
🛏️'Suiyukan,' a single-story wing at the foot of the mountain renovated in 2022, sets beds atop tatami
🌿17 rooms in total, for a quiet stay to the sound of the mountain stream

Lounge, Banquet Halls, and In-House Facilities

🎵The 'Himesayuri' lounge, renovated in 2019, offers music through vacuum-tube audio
🎎Three banquet halls, including the medium and grand halls, plus the 90-mat grand hall 'Sumon'
🚲Rental bicycles, go and shogi boards, and karaoke round out the in-house pastimes

Mountain Access — Even a Day Trip from Tokyo Is Possible

🚄About 45 minutes by car from Tsubame-Sanjo Station on the Joetsu Shinkansen, roughly 2 hours from Tokyo
🚌A free shuttle bus runs once daily to the station (reservation required)
🚕Also reachable by Sanjo City's on-demand transit or taxi (excluding some Sundays and holidays)

A century ago, one man dug a well by hand and struck a salty spring that became today's Myosen Ecchu-Nagano Onsen. Spend a quiet day at this hidden Niigata retreat, where a registered tangible cultural property wooden building, the sound of the mountain stream, a strong cold spring, and mountain cuisine cooked with pure spring water all come together.
