Everything! It was beautiful and peaceful. The staff was so kind and helped us at every opportunity although we speak no Japanese. The onsen was gorgeous, our room was spacious and had an amazing view, and our private onsen was clean and beautiful.

Off the beaten track, but just an hour and a half outside of Tokyo. Less crowded than more popular onsen resorts like Hakone so you get better value and still get a unique Japanese ryokan experience with exceptional service.

Wow! It was fantastic. The staff were lovely. We got to choose from a variety of patterns of yakata (robes) which was really special. The room (with an ensuite toilet and sink!) was massive. We were provided with 5 futons so we could pile them on top of each other, great for westerners used to softer beds. This made it comfortable. The homemade tiramisu we ordered on arrival was so tasty. The cup challenge for free juice was fun. And best of all, the private onsen experience! We booked 2 time slots (as it was quiet), one in the stone bath and one in the wooden bath. We loved both, but the stone bath was nicest.

It was such a unique experience because of the hot springs which were magical. We went in early October for a two night stay and it wasn't crowded at all. The springs were so relaxing and even better when it cooled down at night. I can only imagine how beautiful it would be to be there in the winter with snow. My skin and hair was so soft from the springs. There was also a spout for cold water where you could do cold "plunges" with a scoop which was so refreshing. I was worried there would be mosquitoes but there were none in or around the springs. The traditional buildings and structures made it feel like you were sent back in time and wearing the provided yukatas immersed us into the whole atmosphere. As a part of the experience, you sleep on tatamis which was unique and decently comfortable. Although lunch was not included, there was an option to purchase bento boxes sent to your room. I can see why this was optional though because they gave you so much food at breakfast and dinner that it kept us so full. It was so well presented and fun to try different dishes. It was almost overwhelming how much food they serve you, the dishes kept coming. The staff was very good at explaining everything to us about the facilities and the front desks staff was so nice. We were a group of 12 people and they were so accommodating. I corresponded with them regarding the shuttle from JOMOKOGEN train station and it was very seamless. It is a small station with a few stores so the shuttle was not hard to find. Overal, I would say that the the springs and scenery is worth it for a 2 night stay.

I really appreciated the staff friendly and took us take a walk to a shrine. That gave us an activity. The onsens were so good. Especially the dinner was so delicious and a lot to eat including beef, scallops and fish. I really like the food also provided with special sauces with them. I really appreciate the work of chefs. The room was so big and clean， with a window with trees pretty like a photo. They also so nice to offer drive me to my next hotel close by, service is excellent.

There were so many different types of onsen pools. Nice morning tea and coffee lounge. Room is well designed even if it’s old.

I loved everything. From the moment we arrived the staff treated us very nicely and politely explained everything about the property. They provide yukatas, bathing suits and slippers, so you get to experience the whole traditional japan.
Dinner and breakfast are simply amazing, lots of courses and everything tasted delicious.
While you’re having dinner, they set up your futons so you have the bed ready when you return to your room.
The outside onsen is wonderful.
I honestly can’t recommend this place enough, just a 10/10
Shuttle from train station. Friendly staff. Traditional experience. Provided with yukata, swimwear and slippers for stay. Food was beautiful. Onsen are exceptional. Scenery is unbelievable.
This onsen was a lot bigger and busier than we thought it would be. They don't show it in the pictures but it is quite a large resort with multiple buildings and even though we went in the "off season" there were still a lot of people around. This isn't necessarily a negative thing - it is just that we thought we were going to a secluded little ryokan in the mountains and there ended up being a more other tourists there than we anticipated. The food and onsen were still really good, and the service was great as well.
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.
The onsen was amazing! Different temperatures to move between and one very warm spot, nice! Beautiful surrounding, like an anime fairytale! Pretty yukatas! Nice room with good view and warm tatami floor! The futon was warm and the blanket super fluffy!! The gift shop clerk was so nice and helpful, helped me to buy the right size yukata and color! Simple explanation from station to shuttlebus by photos and also good detailed explanation of facility at check-in.
Traditional ryokan with great onsen in secluded nature area (mixed onsen; Yukata and special bathing suites provided). Great place for relaxation. Very attentive (English speaking) staff and delicious food. Free transportation from/to train station works well.
We stayed for total of 2 nights in this beautiful Ryokan in Minakami, food was elaborately prepared and beautiful. the 2 onsen baths available were well maintained and comfortable. In terms of hospitality, the staff were especially accommodating - they even ferried us to local train station from door to door. futon beds were thick and comfortable, amenities were also plentiful and they were more than willing to provide extra at your request. One of the most value for money experiences :)
