Kaikake Onsen, a 750 years old hidden away mountain hot spring retreat located in Niigata prefecture Japan, only one and half hours by bullet train from Tokyo.

Kaikake Onsen is owned and run by an old tradition family, a truly uniquely Japanese traditional way of spending time to unwind after busy my Tokyo trip and all the staffs at this Onsen are really friendly and genuinely hospitable, making you feel like at home.

Amazingly just after a second day, I had best sleep in months at this Onsen hotel, now I fully understood Japanese's way of longevity life come with mountain air, spring water, fresh food, sake and hot spring.....😜 Thanks Kaikake

Wonderful Onsen Retreat

This onsen hot springs in Yuzawa, Niigata, is a must-go place if you want to enjoy an authentic onsen hot springs. 

This place was ranked as one of the top three onsen hot springs in Japan in Nihon Keizai Shinbun Newspaper article (so it got more difficult to book a room here compared to a few years ago). 

Easy access from Tokyo on the billet train plus taxi (4000yen max. flat rate offered by Yuzawa Uonuma taxi) or bus (runs almost every hour) from Yuzawa station.

The hotel building is wooden and very traditional,  yet clean and beautiful. The onsen hot springs apparently has at least 400 years of history.

Very friendly staff and healthy meals are wonderful.

Highly recommended for everyone who enjoy peaceful time. Grate place for single travelers, families, and couples. Elders and handicapped travelers might want to request a room on the first floor.

A hidden gem (hot springs hotel)

My family enjoyed staying at Kaikake Onsen a lot. The food is great and the employees are so warm and helpful.   The rooms have a nice modern touch while keeping the Onsen/Ryokan experience and building.  There are also a lot of helpful small touches like a pitcher of water in the room and good coffee in the morning (not common at ryokan). The inside and outside onsen baths are also really pleasant and never too crowded.  

Awesome and relaxing stay!

We have been visiting Kaikake onsen for years and each time we visit, the stay simply feels too short. After visiting other Ryokans, the prestige and hospitality at Kaikake really stands out. I appreciate the care, dedication and personalised service from the Kaikake team. We usually visit in winter and I love the cosy atmosphere - makes for a perfect retreat. It is an easy, short Shinkansen ride from Tokyo. Hope to be back again soon! Thank you so much

Perfectly maintained, authentic Ryokan - suitable for a getaway and deep relaxation

Amazing experience for me my so and nephew. Want to go back for my 60th. Wanted to go to a place from the novel "snow country". This was exactly what I was hoping for. Wa shoku was great. Rooms were japanese style, large and felt the history of the place. Grounds were wonderfull to go for walks in. Felt remote.

50th birthday

Kaikake Onsen on 5-6 February. It's my first time to stay in a Ryokan, and also my first time to experience snow. It's a dream come true to experience both at the same time. It was really beautiful and fun. It was breathtaking. The Ryokan and the onsen exceed my expectations. All the staff made my stay really special. Hands down to Rina for touring me around, and making me feel at home. Their hospitality is on point. Love that they have a service (transportation) for the guests, free of charge, from the bus stop to Kaikake Onsen, and going back. They also have snow boots for guests (at no extra cost) just in case you need them. The onsen location is superb. The Ryokan is very neat, clean, and historical. The food is super impressive! Utilities are on point (wifi was down though during my stay). They gave me complimentary shots of Japanese sake at dinner when the manager learned that I was alone (but booked a room for 2). Super grateful for the management's and the staff's kindness. There are more good things to say about Kaikake Onsen, but I guess you need to experience it for yourself. Looking forward to coming back and staying at Kaikake Onsen again. 

Amazing Ryokan, onsen, and beautiful people.

Near from Shinkansen Station to the hotel. 
Low temperature of hot spring.  You can enjoy the long bath with great view. Summer time is great nature of green trees.  Winter time is snow view. I visited few times. Every time, I can enjoy the seasonable view.  
I also liked the food. Nice Niigata rice, fish locally fished. 
The facility is not new but very clean and well maintained.

Good food and Good hospitality

Winter is so awesome season. All area is covered with snow. Outdoor Onsen is so romantic atmosphere, water is not so hot. You can choose the pond either warm or hotter. Food is delicately display and enough for a small lady. If you need full dinner, I suggest to order extra special food they will recommend you upon checkin, price is reasonable and you will enjoy your dinner.
