Niigata Ryokans

Niigata Ryokans, are Ryokans that are in Niigata Prefecture and have their own sort of area style. There is a "Niigata Prefecture Ryokan Association" that would work with the "Environmental Sanitation Industry Association".

​

Yukiguni-Style Ryokan, is a style that is found in Echigo-yuzawa and shows the developments of the look that has adapted to the snow country and a collection that is found from the Yuzawa Hot Spring.

 

Ryugon is one of Japan's most luxurious onsen that has been talked about by those looking for amazing Ryokan experiences that are impactful and different in a regional way. And that is because it has a Yuki-guni Theming in a really old 200-year building and is a story of huge Ryokan success that was not likely, but it was able to make it work in the rural countryside. The way it is thought of is stylish ryokan in the countryside and seen as very modern fashionable in its look while still capturing the feeling of the old through its look and its feel. When walking in the hallway there are lanterns and refurbished wood done in a contemporary way. Noticeable things are: 

 

(1) Automated Shoji Doors with Heritage Wood that keeps modern-convenience with old style material in the lobby.  there are unique furniture design that is key to keeping the unique mood of the Contemporary Yukiguni furniture style that makes the experience memorable.

 

(2) The Reception Desk is designed as a Art-piece as a Yukiguni Check-in that uses Yukiguni inspired contemporary furniture that makes it clear that the artistic feel of the place is strong and that it is not lost to time.

 

(3) When going into the room there are so many snow themed things like the leg rest is a snow-ball shape and the sofa is rounded and looks like snow, but that's not all, because the desk and bed share a look of flowing-snow to remind the person it is perfect balance of new and old at the same time that allows for appreciating old buildings. 

 

(4) Rotenburo, Private Onsens, are a reason in itself to make a place a destination and is an addition many new properties in recent years have chosen to add such a option. The reason is not to cater to foreigners, but to growing demand for domestic tourists seeking exclusive experiences, couples with or without children for a bonding experience for long conversation, and lastly foreigners who want a view with fresh air. In Niigata it refers to Ryōkan Taigu who is all about family and is part of the traditional historic values of the region.

 

(5) Hidden contemporary recessed-lighting, under-bed lighting,  with work seamlessly with Japanese designs.

 

(6) There are many hooks for a place to put boards on the windows when the snow piles up and the windows don't break from the snow.
