Hotel berhampiran Nagaoka University, Nagaoka, Niigata

いつもは長岡インターのルートインを使ってましたが、禁煙ルームがなかったため、こちらの見附のルートインにしました。 新しいので、とても綺麗で良かったです。 お風呂も長岡インターより広くて良かったです。

My stay at Rankeisou was nothing short of amazing. I tried to look for a ryokan in different parts of Japan and finally settled on this, but it turned out to be so incredible that I’m so glad to have found it. The building and ryokan is almost 100 years old, but everything was new and comfortable that it felt so luxurious being in a historical place. I went at a time with snow everywhere and it was just beautiful even to look at it from the outside. The food was amazing, every meal rivaled even that of kaiseiki in Japan. The ryokan served everything from the local area- so I had lots of mountain vegetables, meat and fish from Niigata. The porridge cooked with onsen water was so so good. The ryokan does such a good job of showcasing the good produce of the area. The menu was even carefully explained in English. The onsens were equally amazing, both the private and public onsen. I spent much time enjoying them. Most of all, it is the kind hospitality of Ootake-san, the proprietress of the ryokan that made the stay especially memorable. She spoke and wrote perfect English, and was so helpful and attentive and went out of her way, I felt like I was staying in her home, instead of a public ryokan. I also could chat and got to know her, I had a really good time. I hope to be back soon as I’m missing it already!

房間小了一點，不夠不影響品質，接待服務人員很親切，蠻便利的樓下就有7-11，如果早起不想吃便利商店可以選擇飯店的早餐，個人覺得很好吃且非常的日式；因為隔天要去彌彥村所以在這住了一天，此站沒有公車不想走路只能搭TAXI，到其他地方大概要走路15分鐘，GU旁邊有一間壽司店還不錯，花了NT400吃的比在台灣還飽，只能說很讚。

Location is good. Also, it has a gym room. Clean and spacious room. But the front desk staff is not too helpful. The hotel refused to lend me a knife or help me to cut the melon. It makes me to bring to restaurant to eat it.
