Takanosukan

Fab spot for a winter staycation

If you're wanting a place for a beautiful winter staycation in Niigata, I highly recommend Takanosukan. It's located right by the Arakawa River and surrounded by nature, so you feel a world away from the stress and busyness of day-to-day life. Rooms have a choice of Western-style bedding or futons, so make sure you check before you make your reservation if you have a preference. Not budget accommodation, but really lovely for a memorable occasion.
