Oyado Matsubaya

"Feel like home is an old-fashioned ryokan, but the interior looks clean and modern. The owner takes good care of you like you are family. There is a large public bath separated for men and women. The room is large and not cramped. If I come again, I will book here again. Recommended."

"This was truly the first time in years I'd received such genuine hospitality at a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn). The attentiveness of the staff and the quality of service were superb!"

Syoubun

"The service was impeccable throughout our stay, the room was immaculate, the food was delicious and all locally sourced and the room had every amenity that you might need. Loved the private hot spring bath within our room as well. Highly recommend for a weekend trip to Minakami!"

"I was attracted to the original stall bath (noten bath) and stayed there. There is a drinking fountain next to the entrance, which is generously fed by the real source, and the source is fresh evidence. The open-air bath, which went down the stairs right next to the entrance, was wonderful to be integrated with nature. However, the women's bath has an enclosure, so you can't see the scenery very well, but it's still enough. It seems that you have slipped back in time to Showa when you step into the inn. All the facilities and equipment in the building and the equipment in the room are nostalgic. The amount of food in the room is not so large, but it was carefully made and the taste was delicious. The indoor bath is also the best with a view of the mountain 々 from the big window. Is it run by a family, the staff feel kind and warm. I was able to spend a luxurious time in nature soaking in wonderful hot water. Access is hard to say convenient, and it may not be possible for those who feel old and inconvenient, but it has become one of the inns I want to visit again."

Hotel Shimeikan

"My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our 30th year of employment. The first thing that impressed us was the dinner we had upon arrival. The sashimi platter, braised Shimonita pork, a small hotpot of conger eel, grilled sweetfish, and stone-grilled Joshu beef sirloin were all delicious. My wife, who is usually quiet, commented, "I feel like I'm enjoying the most delicious beef I've ever had in my life." The room was also cozy and spacious, like a living room. The view from the window and the sound of the babbling river were soothing. The hot spring water left my skin feeling smooth, and the view from the open-air bath, surrounded by the forest and the sound of the river, created wonderful memories for us. On the way back, we stopped off at Doai Station, Japan's most popular mole station, which I'd always wanted to visit, and it was a fun trip. I'd like to return in a different season. Thank you for your hospitality."

Hotel Sunbird

"I participated in an event, and the private open-air bath was amazing. There is a large public bath, but it is undeniably old, so although it must be difficult to manage, I would be happy if they could improve it. Specifically, I would like the bath to be a little bigger and the space to be a little more open. I went there without doing any research, so I found out later that there was also a bath on the mountainside, and I would like to use that next time. Also, breakfast was a buffet, and it was delicious. The stewed offal in particular was so delicious that I had to have seconds. You can camp in the spring and summer, and there is a well-equipped washing area, so you can see the effort that has gone into it. In winter, there is a ski resort right in front, so it seems like there are many different activities to do, and it seems like a hotel I would like to use again."

Kurayashiki

"This is an inn where you can really feel the Japanese atmosphere. With the lake stretching out before you, you can wake up in the morning in a pleasant mood. For breakfast, we had rice with rice toppings and seasonal vegetables."

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

"First time in Gunma. Originally planned to go to Ikaho after Kusatsu Onsen, I saw a tweet by chance and changed to Relais & Chateaux member hotel, Minakami Onsen – Senjuan. I have stayed in so many hot spring hotels, and Senjuan can be said to have the best service. When I arrived at the hotel, tea and snacks were served separately according to the convention. At this time, the waiter took out four pens and five ballpoint pens for you to choose, which was a full sense of ceremony. Going to the room, Ohbasan tried his best to introduce various facilities in English along the way. Each room has a private open-air hot spring, mini-bar soft drinks are free, and equipped with various teas and capsule coffee. There is a reading room and a rest area in the hotel garden, with free drinks and desserts. I went to the reading room for a walk and was ready to leave. The waiter was afraid that I didn’t know that I could order and chased me to the door to ask if I needed a drink. For dinner, everyone had a room, and I was arranged in a glass room like a tree house. After dinner, I returned to the room. The bed was already made, and different embroidery patterns were provided according to the season. It is worth mentioning that the tea and teapot prepared at night are different from those during the day. They even prepared fruits and midnight snacks. The cakes were placed in the steamer, and the time was set. You just had to press start. There were free drink time periods in the morning and evening, with juice, milk, tea and various alcoholic beverages. If you are interested, you can also use a telescope to observe the starry sky or the nearby Southern Alps. The season was a bit awkward this time, and there was only some snow left in the courtyard. If you come in late winter or midsummer, it must be very beautiful. An open-air hot spring in the snow, just thinking about it makes your life complete~"

"The triple room feels newly built, and the equipment is newer than the Japanese-style room. It seems that most of the guests who come here are for the private lake view hot spring on the top floor, or maybe because of the cold wave, the two large baths are almost unused, and the few times they are used are reserved. Although it is written that only the large bath on the third floor has an open-air bath, in fact, the large bath on the first floor also has an open-air hot spring. It is really a special flavor to soak in a hot spring in the heavy snow."
