Scenic Hotels in Minakami

"I stayed for one night with breakfast included. There were plenty of hot springs to enjoy, and the breakfast was excellent. I would like to stay here again when I come to Minakami."

"The location is a bit remote, the elderly male reception staff is very enthusiastic, the room space is large and well maintained, but it feels like the age of the building. The meal is quite delicious, but there are a few dishes that are western-style, and I am not very used to eating. I want to eat local traditional cuisine. Overall a relaxing hotel."

"A little old but solid building with facilities. Originally for national public servants? I stayed as a visitor at the facility. It may be unavoidable because it is a visitor, but the meal was a room meal. The food was very delicious. We recommend a small family bath next to the large communal bath. Maybe it's a free-flowing bath."

"It was a short walk away from the Minakami Onsen bus stop and the room was clean. Loved the private onset overlooking the river as well. We didn't have breakfast there as the price was a little steep for us (~27 SGD) but there's a nearby bakery and other F&B, so food was not an issue. They provide PJs and a cardigan to put over as well. Staff was nice too."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"This is a fabulous place for an authentic Japanese holiday. The location is beautiful. The outdoor hot spring bathing area is clean and looks like a movie set. The included meals are generous in portion size and are delicious. Our room overlooked the river and it was great. Tatami floors and shoji screen windows. This is an old and historic place and does not cater to western norms. You sleep on futons on the floor. Only Japanese food is available. But it is a wonderful place to spend some time."

"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~"
