Best Hotels in Minamiuonuma, Japan

A hotel with everything

It was used during the 2022 Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale. The main building, where the lobby is located, is an old private house built in the Meiji period and has been designated as a registered tangible cultural property. This modern Japanese-style hotel has been recognized as a three-star hotel in the Michelin Guide Niigata 2020. The calculated space design has a sense of overkill, but it is calming. I stayed in Classic C-type Room 305 (Komatsu), a twin bed placed on a 10 tatami mat, a space next to 4.5 tatami mats and 3 tatami mats, and a reading space facing the front. It was a bit too large for a couple, but the 3 tatami mats were occupied by chairs and were a little inconvenient. Dinner is a full-course meal called ”Snow Country Gastronomy” based on ingredients and traditional dishes that have been eaten in the snow country for generations. Although the taste was above the level, there was no dish that left an impression with the orthodox menu structure. Although it is a different world once you pass through the gate, it is close to the city area and is along National Route 291, which runs parallel to the Uonuma River, so the location is not very environmentally friendly. It's not bad if you decide to stay home.

The breakfast is very rich, I save lunch after eating, and the dinner is also very rich, comfortable to live, very close to the ski resort, a good experience

I was recommended at Uonuma no Sato at Hakkaiyama Brewery and went to a day trip hot spring. The reception of the day trip hot spring was put in by 15:00. It was a good time, so I went to the mixed bathing open-air bath. The dressing room and washing place are separate 々 mixed baths, and the rock baths of the indoor baths that flow directly from the source are small 々 hot and comfortable hot water, and about 80% are partitioned by bamboo walls. The large open-air bath that can be taken out of the mixed bath is very large and there is no roof, and it felt a little lukewarm if it was not near the hot water mouth, probably because of the folding snow. The small open-air bath, which was separated from the large open-air bath, was just the right temperature of the hot springs, making use of the hot springs. I was satisfied with the atmosphere of a hot spring inn in the lobby.

Very nice stay here, helpful staff would like to offer helps.

Kappo Ryokan Irohatei is located in Minamiuonuma and about 5-minutes walk from ItsukamachiStation, near Hakkaisan Ropeway and Agricoa Echigo Winery. Free WiFi is available in the lobby. Yukata are available for guests to wear during their stay. Guests may borrow conveniences such as irons at no additional charge (please inquire at the front desk for details). Facilities include a communal bath, a ski rental, a snowboardingequipment rental and rental bicycles. The hotel offers Japanese multi-course meals featuring local and seasonal ingredients. This is the location where the NHK serial TV novel Kokoro was filmed. The hotel possesses 28 guest rooms.

1. The buffet restaurant was well equipped with corona measures, and I was able to enjoy a delicious meal while looking at Hakkaisan with peace of mind. Crab, many kinds of sashimi on a boat (maybe because the sea bream sashimi was delicious because it's close to the Sea of ​​Japan), sushi, tempura, roast beef, beef stew, and more, all of which were delicious! According to the menu, we first tasted draft beer, then local sake Hakkaisan and Kakurei chilled, but the sake was served in a nice glass decanter (?) Breakfast was quite good for this price, and the Uonuma Koshihikori rice was delicious. 3. The hot spring was a clear and refreshing bath, but there was a shallow water about 3m x 4m in front of the bathtub, which was good for small children.Elephant watering cans and baby chairs were also prepared. 3. The next day, my family was chapo chapo in the pool, but it's wonderful that you can enjoy the pool, hot springs, and two delicious meals at this price. 4. However, the only negative point was that the air conditioner was in the back of the Japanese-Western style room, so the cold air did not reach the entire room (because it was quite large), and it was hot even at the strongest. 5. By car, it's a convenient location, just 4 or 5 minutes from the Muikamachi Interchange... However, apart from skiing, Muikamachi doesn't feel like a tourist spot at all, but you can enjoy the hotel itself slowly and leisurely, so this is it. It was a wonderful summer night.

I stayed overnight for skiing at Ishiuchi Maruyama Ski Resort. A few meters walk from the hotel is the slope. It was a very convenient location. Accommodation is a room called ”Snow ” on the 5th floor. From the comfortable area with sofas to the small tatami mats area, the bed area, and the kitchenette were large studios, and it was an open room with windows in three directions. The interior was also renovated by reusing the beams and rusts of old-fashioned Japanese architecture, which was very nice. The equipment in the room was a little unsatisfactory. There was no tissue, and instead there was a hard paper towel. Towels are one bath towel and one towel. I wanted to have a towel in the toilet and washbasin at least. Is it cost reduction? The hot spring is a small one with 4 washrooms. It is the size that other hotels seem to use as a rental bath. I thought it was okay because the number of rooms was small, but it was so crowded that we could wait in front and back. Moreover, the amount of hot water supply seems to be quite limited, and when four people use the washing place at the same time, hot water does not come out. I was in trouble because it suddenly changed to water. I made a reservation in late January at the beginning of September because the number of meals I could provide was quite small, but even if there were a lot of rooms, I could only make a reservation without meals and meals. Aside from dinner, it was quite inconvenient that breakfast was not served. I thought it would be a little luxury rental villa. The location is good, so I would like to relax this time on weekdays instead of weekends.

I lived in the attic on the first day. Although the stairwell was a bit noisy, everyone had a quiet sleep at least until 11 o'clock. The heating in the room was very comfortable and the pillows were quite special!

Located in front of the Shinkansen station!! Free parking available!! A perfect base for business and sightseeing.
