Access from Major Cities

Tsukioka Onsen is a premier hot spring resort in Niigata Prefecture, world-famous for its rare, emerald-green sulfur water. Known as "The Bath for Beauties," its skin-smoothing waters and charming village atmosphere make it a top choice for travelers.

From Tokyo (Approx. 2.5 to 3 hours)

By Train (Shinkansen): Take the Joetsu Shinkansen (Bullet Train) from Tokyo Station to JR Niigata Station (approx. 2 hours).
From Niigata Station to Tsukioka:
- By Shuttle Bus (Direct): A convenient "Tsukioka Onsen Direct Shuttle" runs from the Niigata Station South Exit. It takes about 50 minutes (Reservation recommended).
- By Local Train: Take the JR Hakushin Line to Toyosaka Station (20 mins). From Toyosaka, a dedicated shuttle bus runs to the onsen resort (approx. 20 mins).
By Car: Take the Kan-etsu and Hokuriku Expressways. Exit at the Toyosaka-Tsukioka IC. It is about a 4-hour drive from central Tokyo.

From Niigata Airport (Approx. 45 to 60 minutes)

By Taxi/Car: The airport is relatively close, taking about 45 minutes by taxi or rental car.

From Kanazawa / Toyama

By Train: Take the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Jōetsumyōkō Station, then transfer to the Limited Express "Shirayuki" to Niigata Station.

Pro-Tip for Travelers: Most visitors find it easiest to take the train to Toyosaka Station (豊栄駅) and then use the local shuttle bus, as it runs more frequently than the direct bus from Niigata Station. Once you arrive, be sure to visit "Kura," a local shop where you can taste premium Niigata sake for a small fee. The town also features a beautiful lantern-lit garden called "Tsukiakari no Niwa," perfect for a post-bath evening stroll in your yukata!
