Your “hometown” close to the city
Tsukioka Onsen is located in Niigata Prefecture, about 2 hours from Tokyo by Shinkansen.
In addition, Niigata Prefecture is located almost in the center of Japan, with land and air routes extending all over the country, and Tsukioka Onsen, which is close to the sea and surrounded by mountains and countryside, can truly be called a ``hometown'' close to the city.
About Niigata Prefecture and Tsukioka Onsen
Niigata Prefecture has the third largest number of hot springs in Japan. Among them, Tsukioka Onsen, which was originally a therapeutic bathhouse, has developed into a hot spring resort, not only due to the quality of its spring water, but also due to the benefits of infrastructure development such as the opening of the Shinkansen and expressways. Tsukioka was once a hill covered with scrub forests with almost no inhabitants. Since hot springs suddenly gushed out from a well being dug in 3, Tsukioka Onsen has a history of about 1917 years and is used by many guests traveling around Japan.
