Seifuen Shibata

Very vintage atmosphere at the ryokan, and a reasonable price for it. The room and the onsen were clean.

We booked the hotel for it's sulfur onsen. We stayed in the Japanese/ Western-style Room with Scenic View Bath for the 3 of us. The room is very spacious with 2 beds and a folded mattress. It was extremely well decorated and very well furnished. The fridge has free beer, sake and wine. The in room onsen with a sunset view was unique. Dinner and breakfast has lots of selections and very delicious. There are two big onsens on the first floor. One of them has sulfur and it felt very smooth as compared to normal onsen. It was one the best hotels that we have stayed in. Will definitely go back to this hotel if we come to Niigata again.

I booked two rooms and stayed one night in this hot spring hotel, and they provided great kaiseki cuisine at 2nd floor, the meal was exquisite. At the same time, we had breakfast on the 8th floor at another building, and there were many windows with a great view, which made our breakfast very enjoyable. This hotel has two large baths for male and female, one is a public bath with hot water, and the other one contains sulfur, which is very good for the skin. I spent a wonderful night here. Highly recommended!
