    Niigata Myoko-shi Sekiyama
    A hot spring district located at the entrance to a trailhead leading up Mt. Myoko is known for the milky white waters of its springs. The district encompasses two free open air baths, however, they are not open in winter; from spring through fall, many visitors come here to enjoy a hot spring bath while taking in the area's gorgeous seasonal natural beauty. According to legend, the area's waters were discovered by the great priest Kobo Daishi, and of the seven hot spring districts which make up the Myoko Kogen Onsenkyo, this one is the oldest. The waters of the district's sulfur springs are said to treat such ailments as nerve pain, rheumatism, women's diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, skin diseases, and hemorrhoids. In ancient times, the area's waters were used exclusively for curative purposes and their quality is superb. Situated along deep inside the ravine carved out by the Otagiri River, the Kawara no Yu bath is known for its spectacular scenery, while the open and airy Ogon no Yu commands a view of Mt. Myoko; between these two open air baths, the Kawara no Yu is mixed gender.

    入浴料無料、男女別の温泉です。 入り口には寄付金の箱がありますが… 脱衣用の小屋があり、小屋には棚もあります。 お湯は白濁で硫黄臭があり湯の花が漂っています。 温度はそれ程高く無く、ユックリ入浴できると思います。 九月の平日、14:30だったせいか、私一人でした。

    日本海の絶景を見ながら温泉に入れるという日帰り温泉施設です。ちょっとの差でお風呂から見ることはできませんでしたが夕陽が素晴らしいところなので時間に合わせてお風呂に入ると良いと思います。海に近いせいか塩分の強い温まるお湯でした。プールやカラオケもあります。半官半民でしょうか、料金も手頃でいい施設と思います。夜はライトアップをしていました。
