It is a large inn. It was snowing when we arrived. It was my first time to come to Minakami Onsen during snow, and I didn't know it was so deep. There was a fire burning in the fireplace at the back of the impressive and very spacious lobby area. There are four areas (buildings) in the hotel, A, B, C, and D. I stayed in Building D. It was a spacious room with a renovated 10 tatami mat room and a wide veranda with no steps. The windows in the room were double-glazed, and the TV in the room was large. There were two card keys, which was convenient. The room sweets were hot spring manju. There are three large baths. First, we went to the garden bath, which is a swapping system for men and women. There is a large large bath and a large, horizontal rock bath garden bath. From here, we really enjoyed the snow-viewing bath. The pond in the garden was covered in ice, and wild birds sometimes came to the garden where snow was falling. The next morning, we went to the large bath in Building D. There was also a large open-air bath here, but it was fenced, so the open-air bath in the garden was better. Both baths have spacious washrooms and changing rooms with amenities. We had a buffet plan for both dinner and breakfast. The buffet area was spacious, but it was quite crowded even though it was a weekday. For dinner, we ate in the relatively quiet Don area to the left of the restaurant entrance. The buffet had a wide variety of items. The sushi that you choose and have them make for you and the beef steak were delicious. Breakfast was even more crowded. It was a weekday before spring break, but there seemed to be many people there because they were on a graduation trip. The buffet had a wide variety of items, so I thought it would be a good place for a family trip or a three-generation trip. This time, I didn't have high expectations because it was a buffet-style inn, but the wonderful snow-viewing bath and the clean interior were nice. There were also many non-Japanese staff members, but they had studied hospitality and provided good customer service.
