Hotels With Bar in Niigata Prefecture, Japan

From the window, you get direct views of the ski lift, allowing for true ski-in/ski-out access. There are also plenty of dining options. However, the hotel facilities are a bit dated, and during ski season, the hotel shuttle service is a bit infrequent.

The hotel is right at the entrance of the ski resort and you can Ski in/Out. Guests of the hotel in Figure 3 can get a discount on the ski pass price. Our price for three days was 25,400 yen. There are very few people in the ski resort unless there is heavy snowfall. Very few people. There are several restaurants in the hotel, and you need to make a reservation for dinner in the evening. The taste is good. There are ski lockers on the first floor for free. Friendly advice, try to bring your own shoes and boards. The shoes rented by the ski resort are very loose and the boards are heavy and hard.

Hotel room was good and massive,facilities are abundant as well. The onsen is super spacious and it's thru the night. Food selection are quite a few but do try to get to Eki for more selections... Just take note of the last shuttle bus back to hotel. In all the stay was good, just need to take note that this hotel is only allow SKI in / SKI out... But NOT SNOWBOARDING.... That you have to take shuttle bus to other resort location thru its skiing shuttle bus services...

The onsen was excellent. Dinner was plentiful, but breakfast was just okay. In the Japanese-style rooms, guests need to lay out their own futons. The hotel offers ski equipment rental, which was very convenient.

1. There’s pickup and dropoff for Echigo stn  2. No shoes allowed beyond the hotel entrance 3. Front desk have a local Japanese staff that can speak English. Pretend to be nice not. Anything else , he will tell you don’t know. Go find yourself. Besides selling tickets that he will earn money. You’ll get no information from him 4. 1st day check-in, my in room hot spring tub is slimy n dirty stained wil algae. I scrub a lot out and took video. Same Japanese man came and nothing. Till I show him the algae I’ve scrub and the video, he kept quiet. Housekeeping do scrub off within 30mins 5. Breakfast is same everyday 6. Dinner, slight changes but still 99% same. 7. Child meal is hopeless.  Stayed for 5nights, same meals daily.  8. Want to bring a cake to dinner to celebrate my Daughters Birthday, we were forbidden to do so. Nothing besides what they bring to you.  9. Onsen was good 10. Basic ice cream treats.  11. Simple ramen in the evening Hotel is too rigid. It’s really expensive during our visits. The rules at dining and the same meals daily, it’s unbearable. Kids have nothing much to eat For the price, I’ll not stay in this rigid property. Many other Ryokan resort for lesser price and better options. It’s not ski in ski out and yet price are too high.

We recently stayed at Hotel Okura in Niigata and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is beautifully situated overlooking the Shinano River, providing stunning views, especially during sunset. The location is very convenient, with easy access to the JR Niigata Train Station and Niigata Airport, making it a great base for exploring the area. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. We particularly enjoyed the variety of dining options available at the hotel, including a French restaurant and a Japanese restaurant. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. We appreciated their attentiveness and willingness to assist with any requests we had. Overall, Hotel Okura Niigata offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and excellent service. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Niigata.

There is not close to Murakami Station. I contacted the hotel to book the pick-up station. My luggage was heavy. Thanks to the driver of the pick-up service. The hotel is some years old, but the room is very spacious and cleaned up, and the family seems more suitable. The hot spring is very comfortable, and the carp swimming board in the corridor is very interesting. The breakfast dishes are very delicious. The room has a tour map of Libo Hot Spring Street, most places can be reached on foot, the sidewalk is very narrow, you need to pay attention to passing vehicles. Although the sun is very hot, the sunset sea view is really beautiful.

My stay was on April 7, 2025, in the 'Sakura' family room. I absolutely loved this property! I'll definitely return if I get the chance and will recommend it to my friends.

Very nice place to stay! Quiet during the spring/summer period due to the area being more popular in winter. Very near Echigo Yuzawa Station within 5min walk. Was welcomed into the hotel nicely with complimentary matcha and snack. Upon check in there was even a cute Gachapon game in which you could win one of their special Niigata/Yuzawa stuff! I won a small pack of Niigata rice. Room was clean and spacious with a comfy futon bed. The public baths were so nice and well maintained! The staff here are very friendly and attentive. If you did not reserve their special dinner/breakfast set, you can still do say with 2 days advanced order over the front desk. I also love that they provide free shuttle to the station at check out upon request! Definitely staying here again if ever back in the area 🫶🏼

This hotel is also half an hour's drive from Yansan Station in Niigata. The hotel has a free car pick-up but must be reserved 2 days in advance. The hotel was established in 1933. The surrounding environment is super beautiful in all seasons. In front of the window is a slow river, and the mountain spring water that is directly introduced to the room is very sweet. Quietly have a cup of hand-made coffee, read Mishima Yukifu's ”Kinkaku Temple”, and the meal is also very rich. This hotel is very few Chinese, and the basics of vacation are Japanese.
