Independent, Minakami hotels

"I have truly enjoyed my time at this hotel because it also had personal Onsens and public Onsens on site. I really enjoyed my Ryukan traditional Japanese room with a large amount of great amenities and I want to come to this place every time I come to Japan though I must let you know if you’re staying in Tokyo it takes about almost 3 hours outside of Tokyo, which you can catch the trains to get to. This place is located in the mountains in Japan and it is very well worth it if you’re looking to relax and to be just Lord by the beautiful site that you will see and experience the custom of traditional Japanese people then you would definitely like to stay here because it was amazing."

"Wonderful stay. "

"Many hot springs around. Need your own transport to get around. Went off season so maybe the dining options were limited. Good place to unwind though."

"We throughly enjoyed our stay. Super, beautiful hotel, a great staff at the front desk, dining, entertainment was a big surprise. I wished we stayed day or two longer. I would return again when opportunity arise. Thank you all to Sakurai. A Five Star and beyond. "

"Staff were super nice and helpful"

"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! "

"Absolutely amazing! Exceeded all expectations! Did not want to leave! "

"Good location, close to the yubatake. Hotel is modern, looks new and clean, however did find mould on the shower floor. Meals not a strong suit. Great stay overall."

"Har to recommend this place more - Craig (owner) was super helpful, the coffee was amazing and everything worked well. "
