seiunsou

Seiunso is a ryokan on the Senami Onsen coast in Niigata. Its main bathhouse, Komoriyu Sorin-an (籠湯 蒼林庵), holds both an indoor bath and an open-air rotenburo, separate for men and women, all looking out at the Sea of Japan. There's also a private kashikiri bath with its own outdoor tub, and a few guest rooms come with their own open-air bath. Out on an open sundeck, a foot bath called Tenku Kairo (天空回廊) faces the same view. The onsen water is fed straight from the source rather than recirculated, and guests often mention how gentle it feels on the skin and how long the warmth lingers afterward. It's an older seaside inn, plain and comfortable, with rooms that have been refreshed in recent years.
