Sakihana Onsen

Sakihana Onsen is a sulfur spring with a faint green tint, welling up beside the Agano River. Its peaceful setting, looking out over the gently flowing river and gentle hills, is its charm. Inns line the riverbank, drawing those who seek a quiet stay.

Highlights

The jade-tinted water and the view of the Agano River spreading right before you are the main attractions. Combining your visit with a river boat ride or a riverside walk makes for an even richer time.

Enjoying the Seasons

Spring brings cherry blossoms by the water, summer a cool river breeze, autumn the foliage along the Agano, and winter a quiet river scene dressed in snow, offering waterside charm all year.

Access and Basic Information

It is right by Sakihana Station on the JR Banetsu West Line, and you can glimpse the spa town from the train window. Access from the Niigata City direction is good as well.

A Quick Tip

Many inns face the river, so checking the view from the rooms or baths in advance will make your choice more rewarding.
