Hotels with WiFi in Minakami

"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."

"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."

"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"

"[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. "

"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!"

"A pretty decent Onsen. Just that the staff couldn’t speak much English and we had a hard time trying to understand the dinner flow. And the amenities at the onsen bath are quite limited."

"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."

"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."

"Feel like home is an ancient ryokan hotel. But the inside looks clean and modern, the owner takes good care of it like a relative. There is a large public bath separate men and women. The room itself is spacious, not uncomfortable. If coming again, I will book here again. Recommended"

"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."
