Scenic Hotels in Minakami

"Love this ryokan! Such a gem in winter time with steaming onsen and dramatic snow falling on the river. If you need mental reset, you must come. Great food, super clean place and hospitable people. Highly recommend to bring snacks and your own beverages as there is no cafes nearby. Overall experience is memorable."

"First time to Qunma. I originally planned to go to Kuojin Hot Spring and then go to Yixiangbao. I accidentally read a tweet and changed to the Luolexiaduo member hotel. The water hot spring – Xianshouxuan. I have lived in so many hot spring hotels, Xianshouxuan can be said to be the best service. When I went to the store, I checked-in separately on tea and snacks according to the usual practice. At this time, the waiter took out four pens and five ballpoint pens for you to choose. The ceremony was full. Go to the room, along the way, Basang tried to introduce various facilities in English. Each room has a private open-air hot spring, mini bar soft drinking water for free, and a variety of teas and capsule coffee. There is a reading room and lounge area in the hotel garden, free drinks and desserts. I went to the reading room for a walk and was ready to leave. The waiter was afraid that I didn't know I could order the order and chased me to the door and asked if I needed a drink. For dinner, I was arranged in a tree house-like glass room. After the meal, I returned to the room and the bed was laid out, providing different embroidered bedding according to the season. It is worth mentioning that the tea and teapot prepared at night are different from the daytime. Even prepared fruit and supper, pastries in the steamer, set the time, you have to press the start. There are free drinks in the morning and evening, with juice, milk, tea and various alcohols. If you are interested, you can also observe the stars through telescopes or the southern Alps not far away. This time, the season was a bit embarrassing, and there was some snow left in the courtyard. If you come in late winter or midsummer, it must be very beautiful. In the snow, the open-air hot springs, think about it, life will be complete~"

"This is my second time here, and it's close to Minakami Station, so it's perfect for a spontaneous solo trip to see the snow. The building is very spacious, but it's well-cleaned and a very clean inn. There are many foreign staff members, but they are well-trained and more friendly and polite than the average Japanese. The dinner and breakfast buffets are delicious, and the hot springs are very good, both in the private baths and the large public baths. I was worried that there would be a lot of foreign group tourists and that it would be noisy, but I got the impression that they were all well-mannered foreign tourists. I would like to come to this inn every year when it snows."

"3 different types of onsen , amazing breakfast with huge selection of food, amazing spacious rooms with an amazing view of the river. Only spent 1 night here but would’ve easily stayed another if we had time. The building is well maintained and the onsen was so good I had 3 sessions even though we were only here for 1 night. Had to try them all. Highly recommend this place if you just want to relax and unwind and don’t skip the breakfast! It’s worth i"

"It was a sudden reservation for a night stay I was glad to have chosen here for a very polite response! The facilities, interior, atmosphere of the room, and hot springs were also very nice and I had a very good night!"

"Worth the price if you’re looking for authentic Japanese food and ryokan experience. Comfy private indoor onsen. The staff are really nice and can communicate in English via good translate. They has a shuttle to Minakami Station when we checked out."

"If you're a foreigner, a translation tool is essential because the staff don't speak English, or their accent was hard for us to understand. When we couldn't communicate, they seemed annoyed (90% of the staff didn't smile at us). There was an older staff member who was friendly, especially the one handling ski activity bookings. 🤬🤬 Absolutely terrible. The food was mediocre, not much variety or taste. The room was clean, and the onsen bathroom with amenities was excellent. In summary, due to poor communication and the staff's lack of enthusiasm in recommending snow activities, my trip ended in tears 😭😭. I had planned to do many snow activities, but instead, I just walked around, built snowmen, and rolled in the snow. I won't be coming back here next trip. I'll look for a hotel that's more welcoming to Thais."

"What impressed me most was the excellent breakfast and dinner! I highly recommend staying at this onsen hotel when visiting Gunma. The main dish for dinner was sukiyaki, which was delicious, and each dish was prepared with great care. The food here is really tasty! This time, I stayed in a room with a private open-air onsen bath. The onsen quality here is very high; the spring water isn't heated, allowing you to soak while enjoying the view of Mount Tanigawa. The service was impeccable in every detail, including specially provided pajamas and decaffeinated roasted tea served at night. The next morning, you can also enjoy complimentary coffee while admiring Mount Tanigawa again."
