Senami Onsen Taikanso Senami no Yu

Senami Onsen, located in Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture, began in 1904 when hot water gushed out during oil drilling.

The staff of JR East Travel Service Center Niigata stayed at Senami Onsen "Taikanso Senami no Yu"!

We will introduce you to the hot spring, cuisine, and more!

Murakami specialties greet you at the entrance.

When we arrived at the inn, the first thing we saw was Murakami's specialty, salted salmon!

The city of Murakami has always loved, protected, and nurtured salmon, so the spirit that makes you feel Murakami even before you enter the entranceway is very exciting.
By the way, salmon is called "iyoboya" in the Murakami dialect, which means "fish among fish" with iyo-=fish and boya=fish.

And when you enter the entrance, you will see another salmon!

This powerful sculpture of a couple of salmon is actually made of Styrofoam!

It is amazing to see such a powerful sculpture made of styrofoam!
This sculpture is for viewing only, so please do not touch it.

And there is a sign next to the salmon sculpture that reads.

It is in the Murakami dialect (

), but please check the meaning at the site! (It says what it means.)
Murakami's famous salted salmon welcomes you!

The Sea of Japan stretching out before your eyes is breathtaking!

When you check in and look back...

the Sea of Japan spreads out before your eyes!
The large all-glass lounge offers a magnificent view of the Sea of Japan.
Great view of the sky
Of course, since it is the Sea of Japan, sunset is also recommended!
From late May to June, you can watch the sunset directly in front of the lounge, and on clear days in autumn and winter, you can enjoy the sunset over Sado Island in the Sea of Japan.
You can enjoy the sunset
The time of sunset is announced

You can also enjoy the Sea of Japan from your room!

The lounge is not the only place to enjoy the Sea of Japan!
At Taikanso Senaminoyu, where all guest rooms have ocean views, you can also view the Sea of Japan from your guest room!

Which guest rooms do you recommend?

Taikanso Semino-no-yu consists of three buildings, Soyokaze-kan, Hamakaze-kan, and Taikan, and we recommend Taikan rooms with an open-air bath.

The rooms with open-air baths in "Taikan" are recommended for guests who wish to enjoy the hot spring water in their rooms!

The open-air bath while watching the sunset in your room is exceptional.
(Guest rooms with open-air baths at Soyokukan have boiling hot water.)
Onsen with the sunset all to yourself is exceptional!

Enjoy the hot spring baths, of which we are very proud!

Since you have come all the way to a hot spring, let's go take a bath right away!
Of course, even the large baths have ocean views!

On a clear day, you can enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot spring while enjoying the view of the sunset, Awashima and Sado Island.

The Senami Onsen boasts an abundance of hot spring water and hot temperatures (around 95℃).

The hot springs are also known for their sodium chloride spring water.
◎Spring Quality: Sodium Chloride Spring
◎Benefits: Neuralgia, muscle pain, joint pain, relief from fatigue, stiff shoulders, sensitivity to cold, stiff shoulders, bruises, chronic digestive diseases, cuts, burns, chronic skin diseases, hemorrhoids, chronic women's diseases, etc.

Large open-air bath
Of course, you can see the Sea of Japan from the indoor bath.

Here are some of our favorites!

At the entrance of the large bath, there is a wall with salmon painted on it, and I was looking at it as it is typical of Murakami...
There is a hole in the eye of the salmon.
A hole makes you want to take a peek, doesn't it!

In fact, when I looked through it, wow!

I saw a picture of salmon fishing!

You can see many other pictures of salmon fishing, so please take a peek when you visit the big bath!

Dinner awaits you!

One of the best parts of traveling is the food.

Daikanso Senaminoyu offers two dining options: room service and restaurant service.
(Please choose which one you would like when you make your reservation.)

From the magnificent delicacies of the Sea of Japan to the many ingredients nurtured in the richness of nature, there are no two meals in Niigata that can't be described.
You can taste the four seasons of Niigata that cannot be fully described!
Example of dinner
You can enjoy fresh seafood from the Sea of Japan, Murakami beef shabu-shabu, and much more♪
Fresh sashimi!
Murakami beef shabushabu

Freshly cooked rice is the best!

What especially caught my attention was the "Iwafune Koshihikari" which is cooked on the spot.
When the fire is lit and the steam gradually rises, the excitement is at its peak!
It is of course delicious eaten as it is, but I also had the "harako soy sauce pickled harako" served as an appetizer on rice!
The steam rising from the oven whetted our appetite!
Rice with harako (harako means harako in Japanese)!

Enjoy a long night!

After taking a hot spring bath and eating a meal, all that was left was to go to bed...

What a waste of time!

In addition to the after-party dining and karaoke facilities, table games are available for free rental.
Please come and have a good time with everyone!
Board games and card games available

A buffet breakfast with a wide variety of items!

Even though I ate a lot of delicious food last night, I couldn't help but hear my stomach growling as I enjoyed the hot springs in the morning...

I am such a gourmand, so I was very happy to have a buffet-style breakfast!

As with dinner, you can enjoy an original menu that focuses on local ingredients.

Especially popular is the curry with Murakami beef.
The curry using luxurious Murakami beef is truly exquisite!
Other dishes included sashimi of sea bream from Awashima and flatfish from Iwafune.
There is also a wide variety of desserts, including Yasuda yogurt, handmade pudding, mizuyokan, coffee jelly, and various fruits.â
Sashimi in the morning, what a luxury!
Of course, you can enjoy your meal with a view of the sea!

Unusual friends!

While we were relaxing and enjoying our meal while looking at the sea, we saw something moving in the sea...

What a surprise!
A dolphin was swimming!

I've only seen dolphins in aquariums, and I was surprised to see them in the Japan Sea in autumn!
I feel like something good is about to happen.
Several wild dolphins were swimming

After dinner, take a walk on the beach!

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, we took a morning walk.

There is an entrance to the beach from the inn, and you can take a walk along the shore of Senami Onsen Beach, which has been selected as one of the "100 best bathing beaches.
You can even take a commemorative photo!
It's so refreshing to see the beach in the morning!

One of the largest footbaths on the Sea of Japan side!

There is also a footbath at the end of this walkway.
It is one of the largest footbaths on the Sea of Japan coast and can accommodate about 100 people at the same time.

It is a perfect spot to heal tired feet after walking along the beach!
Enjoy the footbath while looking at the sea!
The footbath can be used by a large number of people.

Of course, there are plenty of souvenirs to choose from!

Finally, how about some souvenirs to remember your trip?
There is a store in the lobby with a wide selection of souvenirs, so you will have a hard time deciding which one to buy.

Among many popular souvenirs such as onsen manju (hot spring buns) and rice sweets using Niigata Prefecture's brand-name rice, Shinnosuke, I recommend the "famous confectionery, Senami no sunset"

. The soft dough sandwiched between the sweet bean paste and rice cake is a must-have!
It is an exquisite dish!

It is also offered in each room as hospitality.
Popular products at the store!
