Ryokan Tsukefuneya
942-0001 Niigata, Joetsu, Chuou 1-2-16, Japan – Great location - show map
The ryokan was very clean and authentic. The owners were extremely nice and friendly. When I communicated my need for a parking lot, they ran out to their garage and moved their car for me to park there. The public bath was clean and had soaps. Overall, I would stay here again!
USAIt's a very cosy little ryokan with cats and a sweet family as a host. We stayed here to conveniently travel to sado island. The room is very tidy, but the walls are thin so you'll be hearing what's going on outside of the room. Also the ladies toilet was next to our room so we're lucky we were the only ones on the floor. The bathroom is on the first floor and both toilets are on the second. There's no garbage bin in the room.
JapanIt's a family-run ryokan, staff is very helpful and friendly. They will even remind you when the bath water is ready. It's warm and sweet. There is a hand-made guide map in the ryokan, which shows you where to eat around. It helps a lot. The location is also excellence, just next to the train station, very convenience!
Hong KongOld fashioned but clean and well located family run ryokan with friendly service and nicely furnished tatami rooms.
JapanReally nice traditional Ryokan with tatami mats, a shared hot bath and a Japanese breakfast provided in the morning (at a very reasonable surcharge of 600¥). Very close to the train station, with lots of restaurants nearby.
United Kingdomひとり旅の旅情が楽しめる素敵な昔ながらの旅館でした。 部屋も清潔で廊下も黒光りしてました。 朝の朝食はもう最高級。 女将さんの笑顔と会話も素敵でした。
Japan宿の方の対応が非常によかった。 全般的に清潔感があり、また昔ながらの雰囲気で非常によかった。 朝ごはんも美味しくて良かったです。 しいて言うなら、コーヒー用のミルクが欲しかったですね。。。
JapanIf you don't like traditional Japanese pillows (buckwheat) make sure to bring your own. Besides that, the room was very spacious, with a comfortable futon, hot water maker, tea, and a window where I could sit on the sill and watch the rain. The facilities were very clean. There were also some other families staying there with kids which created a happy environment. There were business men, foreigners (my friend and I), and families. There was even a cat downstairs who hung out with the owners. Overall lovely and a very Japanese experience.
Japan長岡花火の際に利用。長岡から電車で1時間ほどだし、直江津駅から徒歩1分の立地なので、ここで妥当な価格で宿を取れてラッキーだった。 旅館自体はとても歴史を感じさせる建物。館内は趣があり、部屋も掃除がいき届いていて清潔感あり。宿の方も皆さん丁寧に対応してくださった。
Sweden昔ながらの宿という感じで雰囲気がとても良かったです。宿の人も気さく。お風呂はサイズや設備ともに一般家庭のお風呂という感じですが非常にきれいで不安感は全くなし。

-
- What is a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature public baths, multi-course dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travellers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation in therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the major differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is simply a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just an accommodation place to sleep. In Japan, many travellers journey long distances solely for the purpose of relaxing in a hot spring bath and feasting on a traditional multi-course dinner – thus making staying at a ryokan an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon beds, instead of Western beds and carpeting. In addition, you remove your shoes at the entrance of the accommodation, or before you enter the room. Modern ryokan may serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while a more traditional ryokan serves in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms may come with a private bathroom, while others will only have a shared public bathroom.
-
- What is a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodied in beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Each of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multi-course Japanese dinner is prepared in such a way that highlights the unique textures, colours, and flavours of the featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Served most commonly at special restaurants and ryokan, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-sized appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What is a yukata?
- Yukata is a casual summer kimono typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans offer guests yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it is common to see guests strolling through the neighbourhood in their yukata. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for relaxing and sleeping in.
-
- How to wear a yukata
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a shirt. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is levelled at your ankle. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What is a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally ‘hot spring’) is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- Bathing procedures and etiquette
- At a public bath – onsen or not – guests are expected to shed all their clothes in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you must not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among the youth of Japan, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you may still be refused admission to public baths and swimming pools. Small tattoos may be covered up using waterproof plasters, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.0 for a two-person trip.
