Friendly staff, overall the hotel is clean. The rooms are nice and clean. Dinner was good but pricy.

The lodge manager is a super chill dude,despite arriving very late, he managed to cook me up a nice dinner. The lodge can be reachable via Joetsu JR if you get off at 土合駅 Doai station, and if would more than ideal if you can drive. Be wary of that the doai station has a long underground tunnel that would take you 8 minutes even if run down stairs.

Amazing picturesque location! Mineral water was natural and wonderful. Be prepared to sleep on a futon on the floor, but other than that very comfortable. People are very nice anyways in Japan, but the staff here was particularly helpful and accommodating. Free shuttle bus from Jomo-Kogen was a real plus which enabled us to get there from Tokyo via Shinkansen. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great place for skiing.
Great place for skiing.
We tried Houdaigi Ski area and Minakami kogen200 ski resort. Both were excellent.
Houdaigi is just a ski area with a restaurant and gift shops. The ski slopes are good.
Minakami kogen200 is a hotel with attached ski area, which makes it a ski resort I guess.
It's hard to find vegetarian or vegan food in these areas though.

Very old town, many of the restaurants and shops were closed - probably because of COVID-19.
The nature is truly beautiful there, huge mountains, lots of natural water and flowers.
There are also many hiking trails that can be a bit tricky to find but it's definitely worth it to do some research about the area.

Self driving is a proper way to Minakami, especially during driving to the onsen. Both sides of the road, you can view the forest and trees covered with whitish snow and natural stream and dams in it. No need to hurry when you drive and you can take a photograph anytime during the journey.

An onsen town at the base of the Japan Alps.
An onsen town at the base of the Japan Alps. A slow town that's a little run down thanks to overdevelopment during the bubble era. However, it feels like its making a comeback, with a thriving adventure activity scene and community, as well as cheap, good quality accommodation. There's even a craft beer bar and a good quality pizza joint.
Access is very good, with a bullet train station nearby and frequent buses offering access to nearby nature and activities.
Give it a few years and a bit of love and it will be a thriving destination.
We stayed for total of 2 nights in this beautiful Ryokan in Minakami, food was elaborately prepared and beautiful. the 2 onsen baths available were well maintained and comfortable. In terms of hospitality, the staff were especially accommodating - they even ferried us to local train station from door to door. futon beds were thick and comfortable, amenities were also plentiful and they were more than willing to provide extra at your request. One of the most value for money experiences :)
This was a very good experience all around. A bit remote from the tourist cities of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, but a hotel pick up from the local JR line was really useful. The hotel was very picturesque, but the highlight was the individual onsens within each room. The staff were very friendly and attentive, but a special shout out to Wakana took the famous Japanese hospitality to a whole new level. 10/10!
- very helpful staffs. some dont speak english but with their great service-minded attitude and their translator device, the communication is not a problem at all.
- full course dinner is served in the room. while breakfast is buffet. all tastes good.
- guests are able to book a 40-minute private onsen (open-air) on upper floor
- all day complimentary coffee, many types of tea and popsicle
The food is superb. Creative and very fresh ingredients. Just lovely setting, with the snow on mountain tops dotted with some momiji red and yellow maples. Idyllic! Room is comfortable too. Service is attentive and excellent. Nearby the Minakami station, we can walk along the Tone River for some 5 km one way, beautiful momiji spot. Very scenic and pretty. Best walking trail by the river.
The atmosphere was unlike anywhere I have been before, the mountains, room, hotel decor and the river at the bottom were exceptional.
The staff were very helpful and the half board dinner and breakfast were superb.
The private outdoor bath on the balcony is a wonderful place to just sit and take in your surroundings.
Very good hotel and service was excellent, staff were very helpful and attentive. There is a private onsen available for reservation. Overall everything is good, if compared to the price it is considered very worthwhile. Hotel was clean, has good options and If there is a chance to come back to this hotel again.
Wonderful staff with an attention to customer service. The room exceeded our expectations and the private onsen in the room was lovely. If you want a quiet and relaxing onsen getaway where your needs are taken care of for a night or two, this is a great spot. Food was good and felt locally inspired.
+ The staff were very friendly and helpful.
+ We pre-ordered the sukiyaki for dinner. It was absolutely delicious.
+ The rooms were spacious and comfortable.
+ Private Onsen is available. But you will need to shower at the public onsen first.
+ The grounds were beautiful. A very relaxing stay.
The hotel is quite near Minakami station, about 5 minute walk.
The facility meets my expectation. The owner also provides me with Yukata (and a Hanten because it's cold).
The staff can speak English and very friendly.
I try the first shared onsen here, this was quite an interesting experience.
We absolutely loved Takaragawa, our highlight from 3 weeks in Japan. Lovely room overlooking the river and onsen. Delicious food, helpful staff and we did a nice hike up the river right from the Onsen. 10/10 recommend!
