Echigo Yuzawa Onsen Garden Tower Hotel
越後湯沢温泉 ガーデンタワーホテル
Bathing & Water
Uses natural hot spring water
Site notes the jacuzzi, cold bath, and full-body showers use tap water, not the spring; only the main indoor bath and rotenburo are the natural onsen, and the main bath is temperature-adjusted with added water and circulated/filtered (not full kakenagashi) — the separately reservable private baths (魚野の湯・大峰の湯) are described elsewhere on the page as 源泉掛け流し.
Open-air outdoor bath
Enclosed indoor bathing area
Dry heat sauna room
Cold water plunge bath, typically used after sauna
Capabilities
Private bath available for day-use visitors or hotel guests to reserve
Lodging guests get a discounted rate on the private baths except August, December, and January-March; availability itself is year-round.
Private onsen bath in guest rooms, for overnight guests only
Room equipment lists across all 5 room types (unit bath/shower booth only) never mention an in-room onsen bath; bathing is the shared 大浴場/露天風呂.

Echigo Yuzawa Onsen Garden Tower Hotel is a tower hotel next to the NASPA New Otani resort in Yuzawa. It's run separately from NASPA, but staying guests get free use of the shared big bath. The gender-separated indoor bath and its attached open-air section change with the seasons, and the water is a soft, mildly alkaline spring locally known as a skin-smoothing bath. The bathing floor also has a sauna, a cold plunge, a jacuzzi and massage chairs. Families and groups can reserve one of two private baths, Uono-no-yu (魚野の湯) and Omine-no-yu (大峰の湯). The hotel connects directly to a ski slope, so in winter it doubles as a soak after a day on the snow.
