Hotel Sunbird

"This is my third time staying here this year. I travel to super luxury inns several times a month, but I've never stayed at a hotel where I could enjoy the seasons so well and where the staff are so friendly that I really want to return. The interior of the building is old, but that makes me feel like I'm in the countryside, and it's out of the ordinary and relaxing. I always choose the BBQ plan for dinner, and at night it's cool and I can enjoy a delicious meal while listening to the chirping of insects. The staff at the BBQ area are also very friendly and helpful, and this was another stress-free and happy trip. With the plan that includes a private bath, you can take it twice during peak season and once on other days. This time I went outside of peak season, so I was able to take it once, but I haven't conquered all 11 types of baths here yet, so I added a 40-minute morning bath for 2,000 yen. The temperature is a little warm, so if you like lukewarm water, you can adjust it by cooling it in the shower. I like warm water, so it was just right. Personally, I really love the rock bath on the mountain that you can take until 6pm! The baths make you feel one with nature and help you forget the busyness of everyday life, which is very relaxing. I always feel sad to leave and want to stay another night (laughs). I plan to continue coming back here. When I have children, I want to bring them too."

Kurayashiki

"This is an inn where you can really feel the Japanese atmosphere. With the lake stretching out before you, you can wake up in the morning in a pleasant mood. For breakfast, we had rice with rice toppings and seasonal vegetables."

Syoubun

"The rooms, bathrooms, and food were perfect, and even the amenities were well-thought-out, giving me a comfortable and satisfying feeling. It's a place I'd like to visit again, with hospitality that makes the most of the simple goodness of the place, without any extravagant events."

"As a working couple with a child preparing for his junior high school entrance exams, we were exhausted when we visited. We often visit inns affiliated with the Japan Society for the Preservation of Secret Hot Springs, but the hot springs here are undoubtedly better. As we're in our 40s, we were more interested in a quiet place to relax than money, so the age group was older and there weren't many inbound tourists. This was perfect. Because it was quiet, it was ideal for tutoring elementary and junior high school students in their rooms. We were grateful. The food was so filling we couldn't finish it. The seasoning wasn't too strong, so it was perfect for our family. For some reason, the drinks in the restaurant were so cheap that it almost made us worry. That's why we bought lots of manju as souvenirs on our way home. We'd love to come back."

Matsunoi

"Upon arrival, the check-in instructions were thorough. Every time I passed by an employee, everyone greeted me and I felt very comfortable. In the room, the air conditioning was a little difficult to understand, it took some time to find the remote control for the lights, and the sound of drainage from other rooms was a bit bothersome. However, the bath I went for this time was the best. It was spacious and clean, and I was able to enjoy the open-air bath, so I had a really relaxing time. Next time I would like to use the private open-air bath. The buffet meal was delicious and had enough quantity for our family. However, if it wasn't the final time, I wonder if there would have been a little more variety? I thought so. I was able to walk around the garden and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I still want to use it."

Minakami Onsen KKR Hotel Minakami Suimeiso

"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."

Nakaya Ryokan

"A wonderful place to experience Japanese culture, hospitality and cuisine. This accommodation is a place to remember for many years to come. I would advise anyone coming to visit Japan to stay in this hotel. "

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

Pension Asanebou

"This is the best stay I’ve ever stayed It’s a family run pension with two super friendly golden retrievers, the whole house is newly built, extremely clean, and decorated with good taste The dinner and breakfast are western- Japanese fusion, everything is homemade, definitely worth trying There is a nice and clean private onsen, or you can take a bus to have a day trip to other bigger onsen Minakami itself is a countryside area, and the pension is right next to the bus station There is literally nothing around the stay, so you need to get everything you need in Minakami station, but I think it’s a characteristic rather than disadvantage"
