Hotels near Tenichi Museum in Minakami

Beautiful and delicious! The hot springs and our room (in the old part, the 3. Building) was so amazing that we are speeachless! It is more beautiful than on the pictures ! And walking around in the traditional yukata was supercool and stylish! The food is really good and served in a topical Japanese way. The only thing that was not totally perfect was that there was dust and spiderwebs some places (but not the rooms). We love it, we will come back of we have an opportunity again!

I used it for a couple's drive trip in commemoration of retirement. It is an old inn, but the furnishings were well arranged and I used the building comfortably. I used a rental open-air bath. There was a lot of water and we enjoyed two floors indoors and outdoors. The dishes were also 々 cooked with a lot of trouble using local ingredients, such as HIDA beef, and salt baking of amago. The best product is ”Iwaki no Oshinshu” (the bone sake of the rock fish).It was made by baking the dried fish overnight and putting it in the HIDA sake, but the clear rock fish was deliciously melted and it was unspeakable.

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.

It seems contradictory, but it is an extraordinary experience to be very relaxed. The location is not a hot spring town, in a quiet countryside. This time, it was wrapped in autumn leaves that delighted the eyes everywhere in the hall. There is a space where you can enjoy a welcome drink next to the lobby, and there are alcohol such as sparkling wine, shochu, sake. Coffee is attentive because there are machines that have different methods of extraction between daytime and morning. The dining room is a private room, so it's calm, but in some cases I was worried about the voice next door. I stayed in a spacious maisonette-style room, but the open-air bath adjacent to the relaxing room was especially relaxing as Hiro 々. Perhaps it was using the circulation of hot spring water, the whole room was fluffy and warm. It was very well cleaned. The meal was a dish centered on local ingredients, and although it was not flashy luxury, all of them were made with their own ingenuity, and they were surprising and enjoyed very much. For example, the soil soup served at night was a potage made with burdock, taro, and chrysanthemum, and it was a fresh experience that should be called ”tasting the umami of the soil”. The timing of the serve is also sketchy, which will match the cooking time of the cooked rice according to the progress of drinking here.

the room are very new, large, clean and comfortable hotel. i love the private onsen bath tub at the balcony facing the river, it is very relaxing. the daily breakfast was good, we can choose western or japanese set the day before. dinner menu was delicious and nice presentation.

A long-established hot spring inn near the stone steps of Ikaho Onsen. It has a reputation for warm hospitality. The characteristic is that there are two entrances, and you can enter from the stone steps side as well as the usual entrance. In many inns, there are many movements in the building with slippers, but since the whole building is tatami mats, you can walk barefoot in the building. The food was delicious and the amount was appropriate. The bathhouse was also large enough to relax. On the other hand, although it is a family saying because it is a good inn, there were some staff who were still developing in their behavior. I would like to expect that I will grow up as a good staff with good teaching from my predecessors. There was also a machine in the room for massage of my feet. I think the massage machine after the bath is cleaned frequently, but I was a little worried about the sanitary condition of the machine in the room. Because it is a thankful consideration, I think that it was able to use it more comfortably if there was a display such as ”cleaned”.

I stayed here in April 2022 on the occasion of the expansion of Kenminwari. As the name of the inn suggests, the sound of the murmuring of the river never ceases. The hot springs are colorless and transparent, glittering and slippery. It is said that there are plenty of hot spring sources, and the spouts of all baths are drinkable. There is a large communal bath for men and women in the main building and a separate mixed bathing open-air bath, which is not connected to the bath in the main building. The hot water is completely transparent, so the hurdle for mixed bathing is high. However, there are separate dressing rooms for men and women, and bath clothes are available at the shop. Dinner is a kaiseki meal with lean beef steak grilled on a stone slab as the main dish. Mr. Nakai is a foreigner, but he does his best to explain the dishes. I bow my head like a hard worker in a foreign land. Inari sushi is prepared in the room for a late-night snack, but this is a grown-up taste mixed with wasabi stems. For breakfast, if you go at the exact time of your reservation, the dashimaki* will still be warm. There was a great attention to detail. There are many cherry blossoms planted in the garden of this inn, but this time it was a really elegant timing when the cherry blossoms in full bloom were blown by the wind and turned into a cherry blossom storm.

It was a very satisfying stay with a feeling of cleanliness and neat cleaning. Breakfast was included in the accommodation and dinner was taken at the restaurant in the building. Both were delicious. The two large communal baths were beautiful and the view was good. There was an open-air bath surrounded by snow and an open-air bath with a large mountain in front of me, so it was beautiful and relaxing. There were many small children staying, so I was full of energetic energy. On the other hand, I saw quite a few people staying in three generations of family. Overall, I think it was an environment where everyone seemed to enjoy and felt happy. I used it for skiing this time, but it was a hotel that I would like to stay even if I didn't ski.

Ultra modern hotel. Each room has beautiful river and mountain views. Very clean everywhere. Private hot spring bath on balcony is wonderful. Dinner and breakfast were fantastic. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Maybe the best standard sized room of any hotel I've visited. We have visited a number of onsen hotels around Japan and this one was our favorite; both for the room and the meals. The problem here is that the beautiful small shops on the quaint street are almost all closed; and not for the season. I know business will pick up in the winter when skiers from nearby Tokyo come here but it is too bad that the shops have failed. Something needs to be done to bring more traffic and create things to do outside the hotel. The river in September is low so no rafting or kayaking. If you like to hike there are many trails in the surrounding areas.
