Hello, I’m shiba. Minakami Onsen is located in Minakami town, Gunma prefecture. It spans a vast area with 18 hot-spring areas, including Minakami, Sarugakyo, Tanigawa, and Kamimoku Onsen. Although there is a perception of decline over time, such as a decrease in group visitors, there are many unique and attractive inns. I’d like to introduce you to the inns that still hold strong popularity. These are the delightful inns where I had a pleasant stay. Please watch to the end. The order of the videos is from cheapest to most expensive. Also, please check inn’s official website for the latest information, as rates vary widely depending on the day of the week and season.

Some are circulated. The resting area is also a healing space with a view of the courtyard. The garden baths are alternating between men and women. Spring quality: Alkaline simple spring For dinner, choose a full-course meal at restaurant “Kashikiya”. It was very good, but the “Kashikiya” plan may be closed now. It would be better to check with the hotel in advance if you wish to have this dinner. “Grilled lobster in a stone oven”. Other plans include a buffet plan and a Japanese meal plan. Incidentally, this is the most popular buffet venue. Breakfast was planned to be a buffet, but it was crowded, so I was recommended plate morning at the restaurant. I really liked that the coffee was pot service! It is very spacious and gorgeous, like a theme park. It is a large inn that can be enjoyed by all generations. The second inn is from Sarugakyo Onsen, located just before Mikuni Pass connecting Minakami town and Yuzawa town in Niigata. Sarugakyo Onsen “Sarugakyo Hotel” Established in 1928, 49 rooms in total.

Akaya Lake is in full view. The most important point of this inn is the size and quantity of hot water in the large and open-air baths.
