MeeYee, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We went on a one night trip from Tokyo. They have a free ride from Jomokogen Shinkansen station, so it is very easy to get here. The hotel is new and modern. All rooms have an private bath on the balcony with a nice view of the river below. We had the half board option, and I would say it was great value since the dinner was a 6 course menu. Minakami Onsen was a sleepy small town surrounded by mountains. As a tourist it was nice to see the other sife of Japan, not only large cities. Would recommend for a night or two.
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I loved that I had my own onsen. As a tourist I'm not comfortable going to public onsen so this was the best. I loved soaking in the privacy of my own room. This hotel was the best. The staff, the food, and the view! Loved everything about this hotel.
Joy, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Stayed at Aratashi Minakami for 5 nights and it was incredible. The rooms are large and comfy. Spacious enough for 3 double beds and luggage! Our package came with breakfast and dinner and every meal was gourmet level. The private hot tub on the room balcony is a special touch and great for enjoying the sounds and view of the river below while soaking aching muscles after a day of snowboarding. Well down Aratashi Minakami team! I’ll be back again!

Beautiful hotel next to a river

We stayed 2 nights at Aratashi Minakami. The room is exquisitely furnished that comes with private onsen in the balcony. Love it! All the hotel rooms overlook a river and the train track. We can see the trains passing occasionally. The hotel serves breakfast and dinner. The food are beautifully presented but are not as tasty as they look.

Cosy, clean n beautiful onsen hotel, with good facilities, excellent breakfasts (western n Japanese set). The dinner was excellent, well presentation. The staff was friendly and helpful, going beyond extra miles to assist us in our enquiries and sightseeings. The hotel provides shuttle service at 9:15/10:15 in the morning, 14:55/15:55 in the afternoon.
Corrinn, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Clean, comfortable hotel with Pte bath, indoor n outdoor onsens with good view of the Tone River. The daily breakfast was great, we can order western or Japanese set the day before. Dinner menu was delicious with good choices and nice presentation of the food. Dinner is about 6 courses. This hotel was only opened in Nov 22, well kept with auto checking in and checking out. They provide shuttle bus to station at 9.15/10.15 in the morning and pick up services at Jomokagen station at 14:55/15:55 hours. Overall, v happy to have chosen this hotel. Highly recommended.

全ての客室に露天風呂があり、常時暖かく保温されていたので、いつ入浴しても快適でした。 部屋の風呂で済ます方が多い為か、大浴場及びサウナも広々利用できました。 子供達と4家族で利用し、スタッフの対応、食事申し分無く過ごせました。 同じような宿を検索しても唯一無二であり、また利用したいと思いました。
