Tone District Hotels with Wifi

"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."

"We stayed for three nights during the Obon holiday this summer. Both the owner and the manager were incredibly kind, and thanks to them, we had a very comfortable stay. We opted for the breakfast and dinner plan, and I was a little worried if our two elementary school children would find anything they liked, but we decided to make it an experience. As it turned out, they managed to eat quite a few things. Coincidentally, there was a flute performance on one of the days, and enjoying our meal with the beautiful music was absolutely delightful! In the summer, there's a shaved ice service in the lounge. Our kids would stop by after dinner or after their onsen bath, and eat shaved ice at the counter like regulars. The onsen (hot spring) varied between lukewarm and hot. When I asked the owner, he explained that the temperature of the spring water changes daily, so it's not a fixed temperature. Sometimes you expect it to be hot and it's lukewarm, or you think it'll be lukewarm and it's hot – you really couldn't predict it! (laughs) In terms of location, the hotel was very convenient for our travel plans, with canyoning, rafting, Mogura Station, and michi-no-eki (roadside stations) all nearby. The photo shows the shelf visible from the counter seats. It's full of the owner's favorite alcoholic beverages (laughs). He's apparently happy to chat if you'd like company, so why not say hello? ^_^ On the evening of the third day, we booked the table tennis table and enjoyed a family game after dinner. Playing table tennis in yukata was a lot of fun for the whole family! They also have karaoke, apparently! (laughs) We saw some reviews mentioning communication issues with foreign staff, but they used their phones to communicate, and they were always quick to respond, so it wasn't an issue for us at all. It's a place we'd love to visit again if we have the chance. We really enjoyed our three-night stay in a clean room. Thank you so much for everything!"

"[Location] It's easy because there is a shuttle bus from Minakami Station. 【service】 He is very polite and looks at our customers. (If you accidentally dropped the ingredients during the breakfast buffet, an employee at a distance told me ”I'm OK as it is.”) [Cleanliness] I thought the exterior was a bit rough (the exterior of the lobby was beautiful), but the interior was very beautiful. Surprisingly beautiful. [Facilities and amenities] ・ You can drink coffee and apple juice freely in the lounge. (I drank apple juice but it was very delicious.) -Take toilet paper in the room toilet It is a bit disappointing that the rattling sound reverberates in the bedroom. ・ There is a fireplace beside the lobby and it looks like an Instagram. [General] The hotel itself was very beautiful and the service was good. I would definitely stay here when I went over the water. "

"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."

"We were in Hoshi Onsen 25 years ago, and we loved it so much that we decided to visit it once more during our recent Japan trip. Hoshi is one of the most traditional and older onsen in Japan, with more than one hundred years of history. Walking in its corridors or lingering in Hoshi-no-yu (the main indoor bath) you can really feel as if time had completely stopped and as you have plunged in a remote era. Yet it provides any possible comfort. Important renovations have been made, but always with great taste and respectful of tradition. Dinner is excellent and also the open air bath is really beautiful. The surroundings are also very nice and deserve a walk. It is a bit expensive, but no doubt worth the price"

"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."

"When I went there for the first time in 30 years, the name and the baths had changed. The baths had a good variety and were quite nice. Dinner wasn't a buffet, which was a bit disappointing, but the breakfast buffet was good. The green juice smoothie and American cherries were especially delicious. Considering the price and value, I'd give it about 90 points."

"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."

"The design of the room hotel is very good, the living is very comfortable, there are bus stops and tram stops on the side, and the traffic is very convenient. The room rate includes breakfast and dinner, it is too salty, there are no convenience stores and restaurants on the side, and I am not used to eating. If you take a bath, you go to the hot spring on the first floor downstairs to wash. It is very comfortable to wash in the hot spring."

"The hotel is located about half an hour's drive from Shangmao Plateau Station. The hotel has a free shuttle bus. The hotel will send an email one day in advance to confirm whether you need to book a shuttle. The hotel is in a small village, there are no modern facilities around, such as small hotel cafes, etc., basically can play in the hotel. The hotel is divided into two pieces, one is the location of the main hotel lobby, with the hotel lobby, restaurant, and small courtyard, as well as a public hot spring pool open to the outside world. The other is to ignore, mainly with accommodation rooms, a hot spring developed only for the accommodation passengers, and a small cable car. Two places can be reached by the hotel's unmanned tram, but the tram is very slow. It takes about 4 minutes to walk normally, and you need to walk a lot of stairs, which is not very friendly to passengers with inconvenient legs and feet. The overall style of the hotel is similar to the retro farm style, a bit like living in a small temple, the overall layout of the room and outside the hotel is quite detailed, there are many old-looking decorations, and the hotel also collects a lot of antiques. It feels different from other Japanese and modern Western hotels I usually live in, which is quite novel. The hot spring in the main hall seems to be a mixed bath for men and women. The other hall is separate for men and women. The hot spring has a sulfur taste but is not heavy, indoors and outdoors. If you eat a meal, I personally feel that the medium is a little bit above the level. The weight is really big. It is no problem to eat. 😂 The hotel is built on the hillside. Our room is at the highest point of the other hall. It overlooks the large rice fields in front of the hotel. The view is very wide and the scenery is very good when the sun is good. The room is large as a whole and private. There is a bathtub in the room, but it is not hot spring water. To sum up, the hotel style is quite distinctive, the view of the room is good, but the traffic is not particularly convenient, and the overall price/performance ratio is still slightly lower for me. Originally, I didn't book other hot spring hotels before I temporarily booked this one with a vacancy. Overall, the experience is medium-sized"
