Large garden open-air bath with stunning view of cherry blossom at highly effective radium hot spring – Murasugi hot spring, Niigata, Japan Hello! This time, we shall go to “Choseikan” in Murasugi Onsen, Niigata. It has a large 13,000m2 garden that is beautiful in all four seasons, We’d like to enjoy the open-air bath and see the cherry blossoms from my room here. Lobby that looks like a traditional ryokan Check in while enjoying tea in the lobby. Head to your room while looking around the building. Look around the lobby. You can see the garden over there. Next is a library-like space, and go to the left there is the large bath. I will introduce the garden and the large hot spring bath later. And then there is the shop. In a corner of the lobby, there is hot spring water that we can drink. It was easy to drink and had no unpleasant taste. A multipurpose space that feels like a library Now, let’s head to our room Our room is “Gozu Ryokusuian, a detached room with an open-air bath” A room with 12.5 tatami mats and 12 tatami mats We walk down a fairly long private corridor We won’t get wet even if it rains. First, take a look around. the garden can be seen nicely. Spacious! There are no beds, futon should be appeared later. This side is a closet. Let’s go to the window, the garden all to yourself! There is also a massage chair. It’s hard to see the color, but we see cherry blossoms that have started to bloom over there. In the garden, various cherry blossoms bloom at different times, so you can enjoy them for a long time. It may have been a little early for the cherry blossoms in the garden this time, but we were glad we could see them from our room! Enter the room at the back The building itself seems old, but the rooms are very clean and nice. Exit to the right and there are the entrance, bathroom, and restroom. The view from here is wonderful. The cherry blossoms in front haven’t bloomed yet, but they’ll be amazing when they do! The veranda is all around. The veranda is spacious, too! There are carp swimming in the pond in front. Go out into the hallway and look at the bathroom. First, the restroom. Go further in and there’s the powder room. The indoor bath leads from the changing room. Both the indoor and outdoor baths are hot springs. Murasugi Onsen is a rare “radium hot spring” among hot springs in Japan. The hot spring is formed when granite containing a large amount of radioactive material melts. What, radiation? Don’t worry. Minute amounts of radiation activate the immune system. It is said to be a “cure bath” that has antioxidant properties and improves the body’s natural healing power. The water is clear and colorless, and the temperature is just right, so it’s easy to bathe in. The open-air bath in the room is spacious! Even just breathing in the air is effective, so
I shall relax here later. The amenities are standard for a hot spring ryokan,
and everything you need is there. We could see it from room, next let’s go out to the garden from the lobby. At vast garden, Flowers such as cherry blossoms and azaleas in spring, greenery and bamboo lanterns in summer, Fall leaves in autumn, snowy scenery in winter – beautiful in four seasons They also hold live jazz events Our room is seen on the left, and the main building is on the right There are 3 teahouse-style private open-air baths over there. The large public bath and the bath in our room were so good that we didn’t bathe here. The detached room where we stayed was retro and charming. Depending on the room and plan, there are restaurants for meals. We dined in our room. We had our meal prepared in the room where we had a good view of the cherry blossoms!
