Tokyo Tourist Map: Gosen: Southeastern Niigata

Sometimes I only don't know where my travels volition receive got me.   For me, the person of Nihon will  ever follow that saké scented trail because I know that downward that path is peachy nutrient together with peachy onsen to hold out had, together with that it volition hold out at that spot waiting for me.   The onsen volition ever hold out hot  and steamy  the saké volition ever hold out mutual frigidness together with aromatic for me, along amongst an exquisite meal, or two, for me.   Not every path or every doorway has to human face enticing to larn through, though.    I know the educate station didn't, together with neither did whatever of the buildings together with houses,  salvage a few shrines together with temples.    I attain non larn to the touristy spots.  I desire to larn to that inconvenient places.   That spot that's besides far to fifty-fifty tending almost yesteryear metropolis folks inwards Tokyo, peculiarly inwards the dead of winter.

        But I assume that it's inwards these non thus pop areas are where the truthful gems are hidden.


It's something almost that empty tiny lilliputian station together with the deafening quiet haunting it.   No educate staff, no hustle together with bustle.  Just 2 empty cars.   Trains run through every hr on the hr together with exclusively receive got 2 carriages.    Sakihana Station.


Snow was besides high.  Made it impossible for me to come upwards whatever closer.   About waist deep, no kidding!   It snows similar this good into March inwards these parts.   Southeastern Niigata to hold out exact.   H5N1 house that's considered a truthful cultural treasure yesteryear people who know Japan.    It could hold out the Jomon menses artifacts, or the amazing peonies that grow when inwards flavor that encompass this whole mountainous  region inwards spring.   It could hold out the legendary H2O Niigata is thus real famous for, which reflects inwards its world-class saké that's produced hither together with sold all over the world.   It could hold out the annual world-class bloom festivals which tin easily contender whatever inwards the Western world.  Or those amazing fireworks shows held throughout the summertime which are said to hold out the best inwards Japan!  I believe all of these things, together with thus some.    But I was at that spot for the essentials.

Taxis inwards this expanse run almost 390 yen for the get-go 750 meters, together with thus 660 yen for 1.5 kilometers onward.  Not besides bad considering what I pay inwards Tokyo.  790 yen only to brand it the taxi....  I walked most of the means to my hotel.   I saw this trunk of H2O together with had to halt over.  This is the sight where the summertime fireworks shows are held together with from what the locals say me, it's spectacular, together with that  nothing tin contender it inwards Japan.

The neat matter almost choosing this hotel was because of the educate tracks together with the relative closeness to the nearest station.    In a previous postal service I selected onsen based off of the sommelier rating here.   This fourth dimension unopen to I wanted to focus mainly on a detail sort of scenery.   Trains And snowfall And onsen.   Yes.  I was able to relish sitting inwards a hot leap surrounded yesteryear snowfall clad trees together with white all unopen to spell the local educate sped yesteryear kicking upwards powdery snowfall amongst its headlights lit up.   NHK minute for sure.   And I wasn't able to snap that photograph for a lot of technical reasons.    Here's some other onsen located close the tracks.


The cherry-red yoke was what I had to cross to larn to the entrance.    Often times, equally a courtesy some hotels volition write your cite on a large placard outside.   It was overnice seeing this.   They were expecting me.

I was greeted warmly together with cordially.   The gentleman handed me slippers together with showed me to the front end desk to larn checked-in.   After everything was settle he showed me to my room, where he  sat me downward together with prepared a hot loving cup of tea inwards my room.   He spoke to me amongst such warm conviviality inwards his somewhat fluent English.   I indulged him yesteryear continuing the conversation inwards English.    A rarity I powerfulness add.  I ever endeavour to proceed the linguistic communication consistent amongst what the locals speak.  Japanese.
After tea, I got changed into my eve wear yukata.   Sabbatum downward yesteryear this window together with drank downward a bottle of Asahi, thus changed over to sake.    The sake inwards the pic is called Kirinzan, unpasteurized.   It was wonderfully cook clean together with polish on the palate.    And thus to the hot spa that I had privately reserved for myself for thirty minutes.

                   The video clip below is 4 minutes together with it's me talking together with entering the spa.




Once I finished bathing I returned to my room, drank to a greater extent than together with waited for the knock on my door for dinner it was beingness served inwards my room.     Dinner came.
Now this repast may human face a lilliputian light, but it did attain the trick.   I was able to materials myself amongst this real local Niigata rice.   They gave me plenty of it together with I was thoroughly satisfied.  I honey Japanese white rice, peculiarly from this portion inwards Japan.   And thus the sake was amazing.   I receive got trained myself to never convey junk nutrient to onsen hotels.    The nutrient they furnish for y'all is salubrious together with only enough.  Never overdo it.   In the morn you'll experience a lot meliorate earlier together with later on breakfast.   I entered the onsen 4 to a greater extent than times thus I crashed.   I pose away 4 modest bottles of sake together with several beers together with was out similar a light.   Was upwards brilliant together with early on the side yesteryear side hateful solar daytime for an early on morn bath, breakfast, together with a nap.  Checked out  by 9:30 together with dorsum inwards Yokohama yesteryear 3pm the side yesteryear side day.
