It’s a new hotel so facilities and rooms were amazing! The onsen is great and the dinner and breakfast package was a good deal for the price.

Amazing gem in the mountains! We stayed here one night whilst driving back to Tokyo and wished we could stay longer! The room was very big and the futons were super comfortable. The staff was super welcoming and went definitely above and beyond for us. We decided to have the set meal which was incredible, might seem pricey when booking but for what you get and the experience in itself is worth every penny and to be honest even more! There are different onsens in the building, some outdoors and some indoors and there is the possibility of booking one of the outdoor ones privately. I would definitely stay here again!

Everything! The 18 baths are all so good. Especially the outdoor ones. They are open 24/7 so you can enjoy them in the morning sun, evening, night time under the stars..its really amazing. You choose a dragon token for whichever bath you want, hang it outside the door, then lock the door inside. No one can bother you, you get the entire bath to yourself! As a solo traveller, it was so nice to be able to leisurely enjoy the baths at my own pace. Also, the staff were incredible. So accommodating, friendly, and they made the most delicious meals. Breakfast and dinner is served in private rooms and the food was so healthy and delicious. I loved everything about my 2 day stay here and I definitely want to return!

The experience, the customer service, and the serenity.
Amazing picturesque location! Mineral water was natural and wonderful. Be prepared to sleep on a futon on the floor, but other than that very comfortable. People are very nice anyways in Japan, but the staff here was particularly helpful and accommodating. Free shuttle bus from Jomo-Kogen was a real plus which enabled us to get there from Tokyo via Shinkansen. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great place for skiing.
Great place for skiing.
We tried Houdaigi Ski area and Minakami kogen200 ski resort. Both were excellent.
Houdaigi is just a ski area with a restaurant and gift shops. The ski slopes are good.
Minakami kogen200 is a hotel with attached ski area, which makes it a ski resort I guess.
It's hard to find vegetarian or vegan food in these areas though.

Very old town, many of the restaurants and shops were closed - probably because of COVID-19.
The nature is truly beautiful there, huge mountains, lots of natural water and flowers.
There are also many hiking trails that can be a bit tricky to find but it's definitely worth it to do some research about the area.

Self driving is a proper way to Minakami, especially during driving to the onsen. Both sides of the road, you can view the forest and trees covered with whitish snow and natural stream and dams in it. No need to hurry when you drive and you can take a photograph anytime during the journey.

An onsen town at the base of the Japan Alps.
An onsen town at the base of the Japan Alps. A slow town that's a little run down thanks to overdevelopment during the bubble era. However, it feels like its making a comeback, with a thriving adventure activity scene and community, as well as cheap, good quality accommodation. There's even a craft beer bar and a good quality pizza joint.
Access is very good, with a bullet train station nearby and frequent buses offering access to nearby nature and activities.
Give it a few years and a bit of love and it will be a thriving destination.
Staff speaks English! They are also very helpful and explained the ins and outs very well (this is our first onsen). We had one person in our party with a lot of food issues and the person via chat was very thorough in seeing what they could make for her. I thought she would have to come with her own food but in the end they created a dinner and breakfast that she could eat AND enjoy!! Awesome.
Room was huge! View of the river amazing! I was worried about insulation, but the heater worked surprisingly well.
This is the best onsen we have been to. Exceptional service and facility. You feel that they care for every detail and do their best to provide an excellent environment such as the in-room amenities, the setting, and nighttime snacks and drinks. The onsen in the room is beautiful, and the public onsen faces the snow mountains and creeks that are so pretty. The kaiseki, the service, and the staff are first-rate. Thank you.
The hotel is right next to the river and we got a room with river view. It's just 7 min walking to Minakami Station. The hotel has an indoor Onsen with river view. There are places to sit in the lobby, which are comfortable, there is also a piano to play. The staff, Mr Kageyama was extremely friendly and welcoming and we had a great stay. Thank you!
Breakfast and dinner was superb. The experience and the food was wonderful.
The room was comfortable, especially with the private onsen bath.
Everything was really clean.
Some staffs spoke english, which was a good bonus.
There was a shuttle service, which was really appreciated.
The communication was perfect.
Wonderful staff with an attention to customer service. The room exceeded our expectations and the private onsen in the room was lovely. If you want a quiet and relaxing onsen getaway where your needs are taken care of for a night or two, this is a great spot. Food was good and felt locally inspired.
Breakfast and dinner were large and tasty, the onsens spectacular, staff kind and helpful, and rooms very comfortable and clean. Micasa is also very close to Tenjin skiing (a few minutes drive up the road) and located in a cute town with good restaurants (and even pretty good local beer).
The host and his wife are very accomodating and helpful with any request.
The room is clean and spacious and the coffee is great!
I recommend this place wholeheartedly!
There is also an onsen nearby and a ski resort.
Lovely lovely ryokan. Staff were super friendly. The food was exceptional and we loved our room. The outside onsens are some of the nicest we’ve been lucky enough to visit.
This place is right out of a fairytale. It is serene, beautiful and very decadent. The onsens were absolutely beautiful, the food delicious and the staff very helpful.
It’s new, the room was very clean, very spacious and functional, private onsen on the terrace was excellent, the beds were so comfortable, breakfast was nice
