Minakamisansou

I am extremely happy with my stay at Minakamisansou. I loved every minute I spend there, and I regret booking only one night. The place was very relaxing, and the private bath inside the room was all I needed! The window of the bath opens, so you can see the nature and enjoy fresh air while soaking in the hot water. I booked a Japanese-style room, as I wanted to have a more traditional stay. It did not disappoint, and we were able to enjoy the tatami floors, the kotatsu and the futon. The amenities included were all you would need! Both dinner and breakfast are full courses with small plates. Some were too experimental for us, but overall we enjoyed most of it. The service was outstanding despite the language barrier, and they were absolutely trying (either google, or repeating the information and gesturing). Thank you!

Everything comes together to make a beautiful and peaceful experience. The staff was very friendly and nice, like all of Japan, along with the attention to detail. The view follows very well the saying that life imitates art.

Everything was lovely.

The staff were excellent, there were limited English speakers but they did their best to make the stay as warm and welcoming as possible which was truly appreciated. Would highly recommend. They also have a shuttle bus that can take you from the nearby station in Minakami town directly to the onsen.

The chef is quite adventurous with the food, it was all delicious but sometimes it might upset western stomachs.
