Fenomenal break away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and Kyoto. There is nothing more refreshing than a dip in the outdoor onsen followed by the most beautiful and nutritious dinner prepared with local ingredients. This places should be publicised more but then again perhaps its magic still lies in the fact that you need to do your research properly to find it and then make more out of the way arrangements to get there (Shinkansen to Jomokogen but then you have to book a local taxi in advance). The bus day trip from the bus station just outside we took one day to Minakami was also worthwhile. If you are a foreigner and want a real taste of Japanese countryside and onsen life, this is the place ❤️ Thank you to the lovely staff for a wonderful stay!

“Perfect ”

What a beautiful property! We went during winter and it snowed a little. We made a round trip shuttle reservation through the website and it was prompt from the bus station.

What a beautiful property! We went during winter and it snowed a little. We made a round trip shuttle reservation through the website and it was prompt from the bus station. The hospitality was great and the room was beautiful. The dinner was amazing. We booked the separate mansionette with personal onsen and it was perfect. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for some R&R!

“Quiet and pretty hotel in good location.”

We stayed here for 3 nights at the height of the Autumn colours. I think the hotel was full but it is really hard to tell. It's very quiet and you dine in separate cubicles.

We stayed here for 3 nights at the height of the Autumn colours. I think the hotel was full but it is really hard to tell. It's very quiet and you dine in separate cubicles. If you like solitude this is the place for you. The welcome and service is excellent, very little English is spoken but they are exceptionally helpful and that more than makes up it. The food is very good, very Japanese (as you would hope!) I have travelled alot in Japan and one or two things out of the many wonderful dishes were just a touch challenging. But nothing that the free glass of sake before dinner couldn't help me deal with! As for location it is close to the ropeway but if you just continue to drive up the road (64) the scenery is magnificent.

“Most Beautiful en suite onsen, a family run ryokan, great hospitality, superb dinner”

Firstly, this is a family run ryokan, typical Japanese style, there're rules when staying in the hotel. However, they will give you the instruction in English and some staff can speak English fairly. We did not rent a car so when we arrived by train to Jomokogen station, then we took bus to Minaka… lisää

Firstly, this is a family run ryokan, typical Japanese style, there're rules when staying in the hotel. However, they will give you the instruction in English and some staff can speak English fairly. We did not rent a car so when we arrived by train to Jomokogen station, then we took bus to Minakami Station and ask the hotel in advance to pick us up there. (be note, they will only come to pick up guests at 3pm once a day only) We booked a maisonette with private onsen room type and get a far end room which a little far away but we get extra privacy in return. The onsen in our room is perfect and really adding natural feeling while soaking in we enjoy this so very much. The upstairs bedroom is so comfortable and so spacious. The room is very new and clean in my opinion may be it just get renovated. However, be note that for this room type the shower room (a very tiny one) is located beside the outdoor onsen and this is quite a problem for us who always need to get shower twice a day but it might not be a problem for those who do not want to take shower. The room rate included breakfast and dinner, they prepared all the meal neatly and so tasty, the timing is so strict and we need to come at the time set every single meal. Staying in this kind of hotel is so relaxing but you cannot be too easy with the time and rules. I think the hotel is suit for adult and couple better not quite suitable for family with kids.
