Came to Niigata for the first time! Staying at the ryokan (the Japanese style hotel), Ryugon which is famous for its traditional style of omotenashi and being stayed by well known figures.

It’s extravagant and luxurious for me to stay but it certainly gets rid of my fatigue and I can’t ask for more to relax.

Through the window I can see the snow covering the road. Quite cold outside for sure.

Such a beautiful place, Niigata.

And thank you Ryugon for making my trip so comfortable.

Photos of the Japanese style hotel,　traditional Japanese dinner etc to be uploaded later :)
