A New BBQ Experience at Maiko Resort

The Maiko Resort, among the notable destinations operated by Hospitality Operations Co., Ltd., is set to unveil a notable revamp to its barbecue experience starting on May 12, 2026. This new BBQ plan promises to immerse visitors in a glamping atmosphere without the commitment of an overnight stay.

Enhanced BBQ Venue

The BBQ area has been relocated from its previous confines near the hotel to a spacious, wood-decked glamping site, encouraging guests to enjoy the outdoors while relishing this unique culinary experience. The new layout not only evokes a sense of openness but also invites guests to indulge in the pleasures of outdoor dining amid nature.

Exquisite Menu Offerings

The menu has undergone a complete transformation, showcasing a culinary delight rooted in local flavors. Guests can expect a variety of premium selections, including:

• - Special Beef Sirloin
• - Head-on Shrimp
• - Snow-stored Pork (Yukihikari)
• - Koshi Chicken
• - Snow-under Vegetables (including snow carrots)

Additionally, locally sourced Koshihikari Rice from Minami-Uonuma will be cooked in traditional donabe, paired perfectly with Tamamo Salt from the Sasagawa River. This not only highlights the regional specialties but ensures that every bite is a taste of Niigata's agricultural heritage.

All-Inclusive Experience

Guests can enjoy a hassle-free barbecue as all necessary equipment and ingredients are provided. This is particularly beneficial for those who prefer a laid-back outing without the burden of preparation or cleanup. Overnight guests can also easily switch their dinner buffet to BBQ with prior reservation, further enhancing the flexibility and enjoyment of their stay.
