Minakami Onsen Aratashi Minakami

This hotel is quite new and is a beautiful piece of modern design. The interiors are warm and welcoming with lots of wood and beautiful lighting. Service was excellent. Our triple room was spacious by Japanese standards and had the same warm welcoming vibe as the rest of the hotel. Beds were super comfy with the puffiest down duvets on them to keep us warm. The Onsen Bath on the balcony was amazing. We were lucky enough to have snow falling for most of our stay and it was so lovely to lie in the Onsen Bath and watch the snow. Location right in the centre of Minikami Onsen meant we could easily walk to restaurants and a supermarket. We loved our stay here and would definitely book again!

Lovely spacious rooms, helpful kind staff, Meals were well prepared and the afternoon tea on check in was a lovely touch. View from room and outdoor bath was stunning, so special. Staff very helpful when we needed extra help to contact local onsen, they were so kind and called ahead for us so we could keep our booking on very short notice.

The property is modern, contemporary and clean. With a wonderfully calm atmosphere and great views of the near by hills and river. Each room has its own onsen on the balcony. The staff are friendly and so helpful. They even called ahead for us to see if some things we wanted to do were open. We can’t wait to come back!

The room is very spacious, the facilities are brand new and clean, and the soundproofing is excellent. The private bath outside the room is fantastic; it was snowing on the day of my stay, making the snow bath very enjoyable. The staff is incredibly friendly to foreigners, providing a welcoming atmosphere. Although I don't know the name of the staff on that day, the service was excellent.
