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.
This is the best onsen we have been to. Exceptional service and facility. You feel that they care for every detail and do their best to provide an excellent environment such as the in-room amenities, the setting, and nighttime snacks and drinks. The onsen in the room is beautiful, and the public onsen faces the snow mountains and creeks that are so pretty. The kaiseki, the service, and the staff are first-rate. Thank you.
Fantastic location with great views of the mountains, and the onsens are superb. The super hydrogen onsen is no gimmick either, it made me feel so much more relaxed than a regular onsen. Not to mention the onsen has a great view of the mountain as well, making for a very relaxing experience.
Rooms are very comfy and the food was delicious. Easy to arrange the shuttle pickup from the station as well.
The hotel is right next to the river and we got a room with river view. It's just 7 min walking to Minakami Station. The hotel has an indoor Onsen with river view. There are places to sit in the lobby, which are comfortable, there is also a piano to play. The staff, Mr Kageyama was extremely friendly and welcoming and we had a great stay. Thank you!
Breakfast and dinner was superb. The experience and the food was wonderful.
The room was comfortable, especially with the private onsen bath.
Everything was really clean.
Some staffs spoke english, which was a good bonus.
There was a shuttle service, which was really appreciated.
The communication was perfect.
It is undenieably one of the best view for an outdoor onsen that I have went to. I was fortunate enough to take a bath while it was gently snowing.
The food is superb! I cannot emphasize enough how good the food was!
Furthermore, there is a free shuttle and the staff are quite good at their service!
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.
Dinner and breakfast were seasonal and delicious. The baths were wonderful, the outdoor bath even more so in the snow. Sitting in the iconic main bath, one can only feel connected to the history of the onsen and ryokan.
The host and his wife are very accomodating and helpful with any request.
The room is clean and spacious and the coffee is great!
I recommend this place wholeheartedly!
There is also an onsen nearby and a ski resort.
The staff were very accommodating and polite! We had great access to onsen (indoor and outdoor), free apple ice sweets afterwards, delicious dinner and breakfast, and self-serve tea & coffee.
It is a very homey and comfortable place to enjoy the beauty of Japanese Ryokan and onsen. This is my second time to be there and I really am looking forward to coming again next time
It’s new, the room was very clean, very spacious and functional, private onsen on the terrace was excellent, the beds were so comfortable, breakfast was nice
