Minakami Hotels with Bars

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.

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.

I want to go to a slightly extravagant hot spring tour with my friends. I chose this boutique hot spring, which coincides with heavy snow. The staff went to the station to pick us up. We wanted to watch the concert Blu-ray disc at the hotel. The hotel also borrowed a Blu-ray machine for us. The service is quite good! The balcony has a private soup, the view is beautiful, the dinner and breakfast are delicious, and there will be a chance to go again in the future!

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.

Although it is a long-established hot spring inn, it was moderately renovated and comfortable. I think it is perfect for our ６０ couples who are blocked from the outside world to heal the fatigue of work on the day 々. On the day I stayed, there should have been a lot of customers due to the crowded parking lot, but there were no people making noise and I was able to spend a very quiet time. The landlady was also an elegant person and had a good smile.
