全ての客室に露天風呂があり、常時暖かく保温されていたので、いつ入浴しても快適でした。 部屋の風呂で済ます方が多い為か、大浴場及びサウナも広々利用できました。 子供達と4家族で利用し、スタッフの対応、食事申し分無く過ごせました。 同じような宿を検索しても唯一無二であり、また利用したいと思いました。

We went on a one night trip from Tokyo. They have a free ride from Jomokogen Shinkansen station, so it is very easy to get here. The hotel is new and modern. All rooms have an private bath on the balcony with a nice view of the river below. We had the half board option, and I would say it was great value since the dinner was a 6 course menu. Minakami Onsen was a sleepy small town surrounded by mountains. As a tourist it was nice to see the other sife of Japan, not only large cities. Would recommend for a night or two.

スタッフさんが皆さん若くてイキイキしていました。笑顔での対応、とても心地良く感じました。静かな立地ですのでとてもゆっくりと過ごさせていただきました。ただ、朝食が少し物足りなかった気がします…。

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!

Beautiful hotel next to a river

We stayed 2 nights at Aratashi Minakami. The room is exquisitely furnished that comes with private onsen in the balcony. Love it! All the hotel rooms overlook a river and the train track. We can see the trains passing occasionally. The hotel serves breakfast and dinner. The food are beautifully presented but are not as tasty as they look.

旅館と言うよりシティーホテルよりの作りでモダンなデザイナーズホテルっぽいです。年配の利用者より若者向けでしょうか、ただそう言うのでもOKという方にはおすすめかと思います。各部屋に設置されている半露天風呂もモダンで内風呂としてはいいです、そんなに神経質でなく、あまり人目を気にする人でなければ眺めは良いです。料理も量より、見た目と味を楽しめる方には有意義に過ごせると思います。

2連泊の旅でした。初めてお邪魔したホテルですが静かでお料理も美味しくお湯の温度加減も熱好きの私には最高でした! 2日目のお料理がより厳選された食材と調理法でとっても満足でした♪ 普通ならお料理を変えずに出されるものかと諦めていましたが心良く変更して頂き感謝です。 サウナも高温で気持ち良く使わせてもらいました。水風呂も有り難かったです! お部屋良し、お風呂良し、お料理良し! 充実した2日間でした! また、機会を作ってお邪魔します! お世話になりました♪
