Find 3-Star Hotels in 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.

It was my wife’s birthday hotel helped me arrange a special case. I have stayed 5+ times it has becomed very tourist mostly foreigners and my only complaint was little control over etiquette people taking photos and wearing swimsuits

Upon our arrival, we're greeted with great staff members, who take our shoes and away and provide us slippers to wear during our entire stay. The dinner was exquisitely served as a big course composed of various several side dishes and main items. We were just blown away. So we came back to the room after dinner to find out that the futon beds, Japanese style mattress & beds, were set up for us to relax and sleep. The breakfast is just a bit less sophisticated but still much more than we could eat, yet impressive for us in terms of the effort required to make them. Same with upon our departure, our shoes are placed back at the lobby orientated readily for us to wear. It just shows Japanese highly attentive level of detail in terms of hospitality. Although the location is its downside, even if you don't have a rental car, I still highly recommend it if you can find a way there.

I was looking for a place to stay last minute and stumbled upon this hotel. It seems like an older establishment that's been renovated, but it retained the charm of a long-standing inn. The hot spring baths, which alternate between men and women, offered great views and were very satisfying, fitting for a traditional hot spring inn. However, I was a bit disappointed with the breakfast buffet; if you went later, some items weren't refilled once they ran out.

So many little things that make this hotel much better than anything else. The way they show you to your room, the way they put your shoes away and bring them back on your departure date, the way dinner and breakfast is waiting for you at your own private table, the way they let couples share an onsen during quiet hours. My point is - you will feel like a VIP here. The staff and always there, taking care of you in subtle ways, but you never feel watched or intruded on. This kind of invisible service - maybe hard for westerners to understand, but it is excellent. You will feel like you are really being understand and looked after. Highly recommend. Best hotel service I've had in japan in 2 years of living here. Highly recommended.

It was wonderful. There were plenty of baths, and the food was especially great. Plus, dinner included all-you-can-drink! The view of the river from the room was also lovely. Everything was excellent, and I think it offered great value for money.

Our visit to this hotel was perfectly adequate. The traditional setting provided a nice sense of atmosphere, and the check-in process was smooth and efficient. The onsen facilities themselves were clean and relaxing, meeting our expectations for a hot spring experience. Our room was spacious, but the amenities felt a little dated and could use some refreshment. Dinner and breakfast were included, offering a standard array of Japanese cuisine that was palatable, though not exceptional. The staff were polite. Overall, it's a safe and decent choice if you're looking for a no-frills, standard onsen hotel experience.

Both dinner and breakfast were buffet style, so it was very good that children could choose what they liked. It was good that all the foods were easy to eat for vegetarians. Above all, the dishes were very delicious and I told my family that I wanted to go again. The hot springs were very comfortable and the children were happy. It was also attractive to be able to take a bath for 24 hours. I definitely want to go again.

Restaurant close early . Cannot order food . Vending machines only take cash

The room is indeed a bit old, and the room amenities and cups felt a bit sticky... Being a foreigner, I couldn't really get used to Japanese cuisine. However, the hot springs are an absolute winner—superb and truly perfect, I'd even call them super perfect. I really hope such a wonderful hot spring experience can be preserved just like this.
