Fantastic location with great views of the mountains, and the onsens are superb. The super hydrogen onsen is no gimmick either, it made me feel so much more relaxed than a regular onsen. Not to mention the onsen has a great view of the mountain as well, making for a very relaxing experience. Rooms are very comfy and the food was delicious. Easy to arrange the shuttle pickup from the station as well.

The location was absolutely beautiful, there is not a whole lot to do but it was very peaceful. Very nice and relaxing. The staff were super nice and accomodating and the onsen were amazing! I had some of the best sleep I ever had here, love the futon. There was an amazing shakuhachi performance and I will keep my stay here in my heart forever.

We got some amazing food, but there was so much of it, I felt bad that I couldn't eat it all.

Most friendly owner and staff. Best & beautiful food for both breakfast n dinner. Wonderful private spas: the Hydrogen spa by reservation only for 40 min each night of stay, with another 2 other spas available with no limits of use. As there are only 6 or 7 guest rooms, you can always find one available most time. We appreciate the lovely deco and live flower arts all around the ryokan. Of course there was the nice but short music performance at the end of dinner to compliment your stay.

Nothing really. Would have liked to explore the mountain trail which starts nearby but peehaos next time?

One of the best onsen experiences I’ve had. Location was great, up in the mountains with gorgeous scenery from window and bath. Staff were exceptional. They were very welcoming and helpful. Picked us up from and to Minakami station. Did very well to accommodate and communicate with us even though we didn’t speak Japanese. Food was beyond amazing, very fresh and high quality. Room was very spacious with comfy beds and private bathroom. Overall amazing experience down to every aspect. Will gladly stay again!

Nothing bad. Only wish I would’ve stayed longer!

We loved the food. 10 course meal dinner. Breakfast was amazing too. True Japanese style cusine. Farm to table. Really fresh ingrediemts. Room was really clean and spacious. Onsen was clean too. Staffs were super friendly. We absolutely loved everything about this place.

Location. It is about 3 to 4 hours away from Tokyo. It is rather difficult to get there.

The location was incredible, with the rooms having beautiful views of the mountains. The hydrogen spa, for which each room gets a 40 minute booked slot, was the perfect temperature. There are two more onsens that can be used by the guests that don't require booking, which are not hydrogen enriched. The food was well thought out and delicious, with a multiple course japanese-style dinner. The breakfast was equally tasty, and we were able to choose the main protein; mackerel, salmon, or sausage. The wonderful hosts were polite and helpful, and were able to drop us off at the station after our stay. They even had games to choose from and take up to your room, like Jenga, and a selection of japanese-language manga.

dinner and breakfast beyond our expectation! amazing presentation, high quality local ingredients with a bit of modern twisted! The staffs treated you with high respected and professional from start ti an end! Wonderful experiences. Bonus is private onsen! Love the music performance at the end of the nice.

the futon bed was too thin :/ not that comfortable..

This ryokan is truely a gem, everything from the room to the spa, the meal is exceptionnal. Thank you very much for this wonderful stay!
