"What impressed me most was the excellent breakfast and dinner! I highly recommend staying at this onsen hotel when visiting Gunma. The main dish for dinner was sukiyaki, which was delicious, and each dish was prepared with great care. The food here is really tasty! This time, I stayed in a room with a private open-air onsen bath. The onsen quality here is very high; the spring water isn't heated, allowing you to soak while enjoying the view of Mount Tanigawa. The service was impeccable in every detail, including specially provided pajamas and decaffeinated roasted tea served at night. The next morning, you can also enjoy complimentary coffee while admiring Mount Tanigawa again."

Hotel Yu-No-Jin

"The cost performance was excellent. It included one night stay, two meals, and unlimited alcohol at night. This is my second time using this hotel this term. I was scammed by the student discount though... (bitter smile). The only thing I was a little disappointed about was that the parking lot was full and I had to park in a distant spot, so I wish they had guided me a little better."

Onsen Theme Park Ryuudou

"We spent a wonderful week at the Ryudo onsen. I've read lots of other reviews in different languages ​​where people complain about the cleanliness being subpar and similar things. These things always depend on what you expect. This onsen is certainly not the newest and has a long history. For us, however, everything here was positive: we really liked our room - you could actually say a suite with a separate bedroom, living room, bathroom and our own garden onsen if you like - and we had a really relaxing week here. The fact that this place has 18 different baths, each with its own separate design, is the highlight. The food is excellent - every day there was a typical Japanese breakfast and dinner with a lively selection of vegetables, meat and fish dishes. The nature is beautiful and invites you to take long walks. The lobby is comfortably warm and the free Wi-Fi is extremely convenient for people who don't have Japanese cell phones. We traveled all the way from Munich and I suspect it won't be the last time."

Fukunoya

"The place was clean and the hot springs were great, but when we arrived for dinner, which was supposed to start at 6:30 pm, it wasn't ready. We were kept waiting, and even after being seated, it took over 30 minutes for the shabu-shabu pot and meat to arrive... some people waited for an hour. The website showed luxurious tempura and other dishes, but all we got was shabu-shabu, sushi, simmered dishes, and jelly. Breakfast was also disappointing, and this was with two meals included, costing over 10,000 yen per person compared to a room-only stay! And to top it all off, there were only about five staff members, so I wonder how they plan to get through a public holiday... All the staff were foreigners, and their Japanese was broken. It was heartbreaking to see one person working so hard and apologizing. It's such a shame, especially since they said they were trying to make a living by renovating a closed-down inn."

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"

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

"Nice staff. Good room. Location is a bit far from things but good for quiet environment. Driving is a must. The food, good but not as good as some other places we were in before. Recommend to try especially if in the area."

"Friendly English staff speaking. Good onsen."

"The location of the hotel is very good. It's only a five-minute walk after getting off the bus. The room is a traditional Japanese room and very cozy. The boss is very nice. Because we got up in the morning to go hiking in Osegahara, he helped to send us to the bus station early in the morning. Highly recommended!"

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."
