The lodge manager is a super chill dude,despite arriving very late, he managed to cook me up a nice dinner. The lodge can be reachable via Joetsu JR if you get off at 土合駅 Doai station, and if would more than ideal if you can drive. Be wary of that the doai station has a long underground tunnel that would take you 8 minutes even if run down stairs.

Amazing picturesque location! Mineral water was natural and wonderful. Be prepared to sleep on a futon on the floor, but other than that very comfortable. People are very nice anyways in Japan, but the staff here was particularly helpful and accommodating. Free shuttle bus from Jomo-Kogen was a real plus which enabled us to get there from Tokyo via Shinkansen. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great place for skiing.
Great place for skiing.
We tried Houdaigi Ski area and Minakami kogen200 ski resort. Both were excellent.
Houdaigi is just a ski area with a restaurant and gift shops. The ski slopes are good.
Minakami kogen200 is a hotel with attached ski area, which makes it a ski resort I guess.
It's hard to find vegetarian or vegan food in these areas though.

Very old town, many of the restaurants and shops were closed - probably because of COVID-19.
The nature is truly beautiful there, huge mountains, lots of natural water and flowers.
There are also many hiking trails that can be a bit tricky to find but it's definitely worth it to do some research about the area.

Self driving is a proper way to Minakami, especially during driving to the onsen. Both sides of the road, you can view the forest and trees covered with whitish snow and natural stream and dams in it. No need to hurry when you drive and you can take a photograph anytime during the journey.

An onsen town at the base of the Japan Alps.
An onsen town at the base of the Japan Alps. A slow town that's a little run down thanks to overdevelopment during the bubble era. However, it feels like its making a comeback, with a thriving adventure activity scene and community, as well as cheap, good quality accommodation. There's even a craft beer bar and a good quality pizza joint.
Access is very good, with a bullet train station nearby and frequent buses offering access to nearby nature and activities.
Give it a few years and a bit of love and it will be a thriving destination.
This was a very good experience all around. A bit remote from the tourist cities of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, but a hotel pick up from the local JR line was really useful. The hotel was very picturesque, but the highlight was the individual onsens within each room. The staff were very friendly and attentive, but a special shout out to Wakana took the famous Japanese hospitality to a whole new level. 10/10!
Rooms in traditional Japanese style. You can select a Yukata design when checking in. The staff were very nice and personable, and the dinner with several courses was delicious. The outdoor onsen are beautiful, and you can use them until midnight. It was a great experience and one of the nicest things we did in Japan.
Beautiful, scenic, and historic onsen ryokan hotel nestled in the mountains. The ryokan retains an authentic and genuine atmosphere. Meals are lovely too, and prepared with care and attention to detail. There are beautiful hikes around the property too, and the three onsen facilities are absolutely stunning!
Delicious breakfast. The dinner was also very good. We chose this hotel because of its great location.
The people working at the hotel were extremely helpful to us. They gave us recommendations for snowshoeing, where to get lunch in town, and how to get the bus to Takaragawa Onsen. Much appreciated!
Wonderful staff with an attention to customer service. The room exceeded our expectations and the private onsen in the room was lovely. If you want a quiet and relaxing onsen getaway where your needs are taken care of for a night or two, this is a great spot. Food was good and felt locally inspired.
+ The staff were very friendly and helpful.
+ We pre-ordered the sukiyaki for dinner. It was absolutely delicious.
+ The rooms were spacious and comfortable.
+ Private Onsen is available. But you will need to shower at the public onsen first.
+ The grounds were beautiful. A very relaxing stay.
Breakfast and dinner were large and tasty, the onsens spectacular, staff kind and helpful, and rooms very comfortable and clean. Micasa is also very close to Tenjin skiing (a few minutes drive up the road) and located in a cute town with good restaurants (and even pretty good local beer).
Great view from reserved room. Clean and quiet. Seperate female shared onsen. Just a few staff who can speak english but they all are ful of service mind. The Hotel is far from the citi but you can request hotel's sutter bus to pick you up from JR Minakami station.
The host and his wife are very accomodating and helpful with any request.
The room is clean and spacious and the coffee is great!
I recommend this place wholeheartedly!
There is also an onsen nearby and a ski resort.
The staff were very accommodating and polite! We had great access to onsen (indoor and outdoor), free apple ice sweets afterwards, delicious dinner and breakfast, and self-serve tea & coffee.
come here 2nd time in 3 months from Thailand, the food, the onsen were great. staffs are very welcome and attentive. pick up - dropped off from Minakami station.
