Uonuma is the name of the region of Niigata Prefecture where Yuzawa town is located.

In the restaurant 'Murangozzo', you can enjoy the natural culinary delights of the region, in specially prepared unique dishes. We obtain the freshest ingredients direct from local farmers so that you can be sure of the highest quality and freshness. We use these local ingredients to prepare a range of interesting and tasty dishes while retaining the original taste as much as possible. You can enjoy our meals both at lunchtimes and evenings. Reservations are required for evening meals.

Niigata 'sake'
Local cuisine suits the taste of the local brands of Japanese 'sake', of which there are many. Our staff will be happy to help recommend which sake goes best with your chosen meal. We highly recommend that you try traditional Japanese sake to complement your meal in Murangozzo.

Our restaurant provides a relaxing and stylish atmosphere in which to enjoy your meal. Some areas are partitioned by glass while others are small private areas. At the bar counter, you can enjoy sake and other drinks while striking up a conversation with our friendly staff.

Whichever style you choose, you can be sure to enjoy your meal here in this traditional, but at the same time modern, setting.

Yuzawa Town is located in the southern region of Niigata Prefecture, just to the north of the Tanigawa range of mountains on the border with Gunma Prefecture. Yuzawa is about 80 minutes away from central Tokyo using the Joetsu Shinkansen bullet train. The Kanetsu Expressway and the main Route 17 national road runs through the town.

The HATAGO Isen experience is all about relaxing and enjoying a comfortable stay, combining the best of a traditional onsen accommodation with the convenience and facilities of a modern hotel.

HATAGO Isen is a conveniently located accommodation right in the center of Yuzawa Town, right next to the main Echigo Yuzawa Station. Once inside though, you feel like you have been transported to another place.

'Onsen' hot springs
All of the baths at HATAGO Isen are sourced from natural onsen hot springs – from the private baths to the baths on the top floor. Enjoy a relaxing soak in them whenever you want during your stay.

Barefoot style
Take off your shoes at the main entrance within HATAGO Isen and enter the main hotel area, into your room and the other facilities. Enjoy the feel of traditional tatami mats, just like in a traditional Japanese home.

Comfortable bedding
Our bedding is an extremely comfortable 'bedmat' style – lower than a normal bed and a higher than a traditional Japanese futon. You can be sure of a very comfortable nights rest.
