3-Star Hotels in Minakami

Takaragawa Onsen exceeded all expectations. Upon arriving at Jomokogen station, a friendly driver meets you with a sign and drives you comfortably for 25 km. You need to register in advance by sending an email to the hotel. Upon entering, you immediately feel transported to the past: you leave your shoes, choose a yukata robe with an obi, receive socks and special bathing attire, and proceed to your room in a traditional Japanese style (I highly recommend this to fully experience the atmosphere of the place). When you enter the room, you will likely experience a shock, as it feels like you've stepped into an old movie. I recommend a room with a small balcony in the Main building overlooking the river. Check-in is around 3 PM. You can change and head straight to the hot springs. Yes, everyone has been to saunas, steam rooms, and hammams, but the onsen is unlike anything else. It's impossible to convey the emotions. The combination of hot, clear water, pure air, surrounding nature, the rushing river, the play of light on the leaves, the scents, and the silence offers something new and unique. There are three public baths on the premises and one exclusively for women. After bathing, head to the restaurant for dinner, featuring local dishes. I recommend ordering both dinner and breakfast in advance. The food is very delicious and unique. You will sleep on futons, which will be carefully laid out for you while you have dinner. It’s a wonderful experience, and you'll sleep as lightly as a child. I would love to return here to experience that happiness again. One day was not enough.

[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.

It can be said that it is a very satisfying hotel experience. You can give 151 points out of 150 points. First of all, talk about transportation. When I took the railroad to reach Minakami, I went to Japan to buy a traffic card, and I could n’t contact the hotel. So I went to the sightseeing case opposite the station and asked where to call. The staff inside helped me directly to the hotel for them to pick up. Then inside the hotel, I ordered the room with an open-air bathtub. The space for living alone is very large. I can go to the hot spring whenever I want. Dinner and breakfast are included in the accommodation fee, it can be said that the price is very high. And dinner and breakfast are very rich, guaranteed to be three pounds out. If it is the hot spring in the collective bathroom, it is recommended to go after dinner, because the room is just next to the collective bathroom, so I heard it very clearly. Everyone concentrated on going in the afternoon. Basically, it was a private booking at 9-10pm. But of course there are criticisms and derogations, that is, the sound insulation is a bit inadequate. Of course, the speech in the next room cannot be regarded as the hotel's fault. But overall I am very satisfied with this stay. Highly recommended to go to this small town to experience slow life.

Awesome hotel! Although some places look old, they are very clean and tidy, so they are not affected. Dinner is set but it's different every day, some days are amazing. Breakfast was buffet but basically nothing changed. The hot springs are very good, especially the outdoor hot springs. Snow falling on the body under the stars feels special. The hotel staff is the most hardworking I've ever seen, and the same person dials the front desk, the restaurant and so on. There is a young man named Pu who speaks some Chinese in South Korea who is very friendly and tries to meet the various needs of guests. The only thing that was not very satisfactory was the attitude of a typical Japanese male who was rather perfunctory. We wanted to change the dinner time one day and he refused. Later, I asked the young man named Park, he said yes, and then called and confirmed with the restaurant to help us improve our time. All in all a hotel worth visiting again.

There was a coffee service (tea, cold water) in the lobby, and I used it three times while sitting on a comfortable sofa. The room was 8 tatami mats, long and not large, but comfortable. Two keys and two yukatas. There is no open-air bath in the bath. The inner hot water was not a net door or a wind, so this hot time was steamy and hot. On the way, the cooler cooled his head at the dressing room where the cooler was scrambled. Other guests also said hohoho. I thought it would be good to pass the wind with a net door or a ventilation fan only in summer. The next morning, the hot water was good because there was an open-air bath. Dinner was a large venue meal. This time it was not roast, so I was able to eat slowly. The brewery was made of kawafugu (catfish), cherry blossoms, silver light (high-class nijimas that can only be tasted in Gunma), and cherry blossom rice was made of cherry blossoms, and the local chicken, pig, and cow were made of sukiyaki of the rice, and it was unique and delicious. I usually eat rice as I pass, but it is great that it is just a amount in my stomach even though the number of items is large. Also, the cold sake of sake of sake (300 CC 1200 yen) was delicious and perfect for cooking. The breakfast was also satisfactory at the same venue. The staff at the restaurant is also very good customer service.

Is it 14 ． 5 years since I first visited this inn? This time I stayed in the heat of midsummer, which I couldn't think of as water in September. This inn has changed a lot compared to the first time. Not only people, but also the new building, the renovation of the main building, and the view of the garden have changed considerably. Still, for some reason I will come again. I 々 Both husband and wife were born in Tokyo and have no so-called ”countryside”. Maybe you feel the country here because of that. The main building with a calm atmosphere, away from the bright feeling. Both are good, but I like to spend a relaxing time in the main building. The paintings displayed in the hall are not flashy Western paintings, but the casual paintings of Niji Kasaya are perfect for the atmosphere here. The chestnut trees in the garden were still bearing a lot of big blue fruits. It's about time we had dinner at the end of the battle with the monkey corps. It's just a countryside.

I wanted to go to the hot springs during consecutive holidays, so I went to the nearby Sarugakyo Onsen. I liked the polite response from the reservation stage. We were picked up from Kamimokogen Station according to the time of arrival of the Shinkansen. On the way, we will also stop by Gokan Station. I was grateful that the fixed-route bus that seems to go to the hot spring without pick-up was crowded. I heard in advance that I will guide you as soon as the room is ready even before the check-in time, but as soon as I checked in, I was asked to prepare the room. The inn itself seemed to have been a welfare inn for companies in the past, and I was surprised at the size of this price range of ５８ square meters. The ceiling of the room was low, but it was renewed and clean. Amenities are also available. ２ Mineral water, tea confectionery and tea bags in a liter of PET bottle were prepared. There are also ２ large communal baths, so I could use them without being crowded for the number of rooms. １ The large communal bath on the floor was a little cold, probably because it was large. The meal was buffet style and all-you-can-drink. I think the menu was a content that both adults and children could enjoy. The sushi, tempura and steak in the live kitchen at dinner were good. It was nice to be able to drink sake, shochu, beer, wine, whiskey, etc. as much as you want. The breakfast buffet was also full of Japanese and Western styles, so I enjoyed it. The facilities in the building were devised so that I could enjoy them, and at check-in, I had coffee and tea and other drinks on my own. There were １００ yen coffee, shops and table tennis, game corners, karaoke, beauty treatment salons, etc. that can be purchased other than check-in time. In addition, there was a cut-out show at night, and I felt the goodness of ”good old hot spring inn”. The interior of the lobby was also chic and nice. From the point of view of Shinkansen users, I think this price is reasonable including transportation. There was a reasonable hospitality that incorporated the goodness of the hotel and inn, and I liked it. It is an inn that can be reached in ２ time from Tokyo. I would like to repeat it if I have the opportunity.

The mid-sized inn is moderately priced and good value. Nice hot spring onsen with an indoor and outdoor bath. It was snowing and a long dip in the outside bath was a special treat. Dinner and breakfast were served at the dining area in a private room. The dinner was a fabulous kaiseki style course with much of the menu from local vegetables, mushrooms and fresh water fish. There was a small museum just behind the ryokan with modern art and Korean antique porcelain, and an eclectic collection of several other paintings. The museum's owner is from the small mountain village and the owner of the famous 'Tenichi' tempura chain. A enjoyable museum worth the visit while going on a walk. The service was very good and appears the two main managers were husband/wife ensuring you feel welcomed and looked after. As we were getting ready to check out a gentleman from the ryokan was already out in the cold and snow, removing snow from our car windows.

Good atmosphere hotel There is a shuttle from jomo kogen station. Can send an email to schedule a pick up time. With the hotel There is a private open air onsen room. The atmosphere is great. The receptionist is very nice. The room has a bathtub and toilet. Very comfortable The view room is a ski slopes. Dinner and breakfast are kaiseki style on both hands. It is a good hotel.

Quite tired. Beautiful view. Onsen is quite faraway for walking.
