Phenomenal experience and the in-room onsen had an amazing view of Mt. Tanigawa. In-room onsen has the same source which made my skin feel amazing. The staff were also great. In particular Iwasaki san who made every effort to explain the Kaiseki meals content and origin in English, going as far as to bringing notes and patiently listening to our limited Japanese. Kaiseki and breakfast quality was also top notch with fresh ingredient both from Gunma region and other areas. And the desserts for both meals were surprisingly well-made western style dessert with Japanese twist that was not too sweet and perfectly balanced with fruits.
Nothing except the number of nights we chose to stay. It was like a dream that went by too quickly.

Our Japanese style room was exceptional. We had a gorgeous view of Tanigatake from the room and from the in-room onsen bathtub which we could open the door for the feel of outdoor bath. The facilities are old fashioned but functional and comfortable. We liked futon bed and lofty down comforter. The dinner and breakfast were unreal. The chefs created magical meals from local and seasonal ingredients. I should not forget to mention the incredible staff and Okami San, the owner.
Internet connection was not consistent. Wi-Fi was available but Internets were not available most of time. The public outdoor bath was rather lukewarm for my taste.

This is truly a gem ! Slightly old but the size of the room and the very attentive service made our stay so comfy and rewarding. The dinner and breakfast were excellent ! We were there in late February and the snow was unbelievable. The snow Mountain View from the Room was breathtaking. We managed to catch the early sun rays on the snowcapped mountains, turning them into “golden” mountains! The onsen was also spectacular with all the snow around us. Feels so romantic and charming! Would love to return in spring to breathe in all the fresh air !
Nothing in particular. Maybe the gift shop could have more items for purchase?

The staff were exceptionally accommodating, polite and friendly. My partner and I got a taxi up to the hotel. They stored our luggage for us until our room was ready. The staff did not speak English but were not afraid to use google translate and thus making communication less awkward. The staff were very accommodating. In the morning, having been horrified that we paid for a taxi to the hotel, they gave us a shuttle bus to the train station free of charge. This is a service they provide that we had no idea about! The area is absolutely stunning. Our room was gorgeous, we had a view of the mountain, we were provided tea. Our room price included the 11 course dinner and breakfast. The room itself was stunning. Traditional japanese style room, with futons that were set up for us whilst we ate dinner. Being in the room with the bath- oh my goodness!! The window fully opened to the fresh air so you could sit in the hot water whilst watching the mountain, simply magical and humbling. The view from the window was just to die for. I absolutely loved my stay here. I feel it fed me body and soul, and I wish I could go back every single day!
The food served is traditional japanese food, and the preferred texture of this food is jelly-like. There was variety and some courses were absolutely amazing, but just be aware that some of the food may not be to the taste of a westerner; for example raw egg. If you are not used to sleeping on futons it is much firmer than a mattress!

Travel: easy commute from Tokyo taking an hour's ride on the shinkasen then a 20minute bus ride to Minakami station where a mini van brought us to the Ryokan. Communication was prompt and excellent. The bus ride comes infrequently so some planning is required. Room: we gotten a western style room and the second floor facing the mountains. View was excellent in winter. The private bath was spacious and windows can be opened fully to appreciate the winter views. Public bath: actually spent more time in the outdoor public bath Vs the private bath. Water temperature not as hot as the room bath but the cooling surrounding makes it very enjoyable to stay soaked for the long time. Only minor point is that the public bath is western facing and we were not able to catch the sun rise. Food: enjoyed every single dish. Showcased fresh local produce. The beef shabu was excellent. Great stay in winter. Thanks to all the attentive staff who made this a truly memorable stay

- Cleanliness and Service: The Ryokan was impeccably clean, and the staff were attentive and helpful, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. - Panoramic Lounge View: The view from the lounge was spectacular. We arrived to a stunning sight of Tanigawa Mountain, which immediately set a serene tone for our stay. - Room Ambiance: We stayed in the "Tachibana" room, named after flowers. It was quiet, peaceful, and surprisingly spacious. The overall atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing city getaway. - Private Onsen: The private onsen was the highlight of our stay, offering a tranquil and rejuvenating experience. - Dining Experience: Both dinner and breakfast were impressive, with beautifully prepared and delicious meals.
- Dining Arrangement: While the meals were excellent, we weren’t seated by the window, which would have enhanced the dining experience. This was a minor issue but worth mentioning. - Accessibility: Getting to the Ryokan required some effort. Reaching the ryokan required some effort. While a shuttle service is available from Minakami Station, travelers arriving via Shinkansen to Jōmō-Kōgen Station need to take a bus that runs approximately every 50 minutes. For families or those with heavy luggage, a taxi offers a more convenient but costlier option.

This traditional, homely ryokan was such a wonderful place to stay. The exceptional kindness of the staff, the spectacular view of snow-topped Tanigawa and the sense of being surrounded by nature and away from the world combined to make our stay unforgettable. We were given a spacious room with a private onsen overlooking the mountains, still coloured with autumn leaves - an early soak was pretty much the perfect start to the day. Both dinner and breakfast were elaborate and exquisite, and our waiter could not have been more helpful guiding us through our first kaiseki experience. We were so glad that we stayed at Minakamisansou, easily one of favourite moments on our first visit to Japan.

Absolutely beautiful ryokan with stunning views of the river. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean, simple, and comfortable, and our private onsen was a highlight! The multi-course dinner and breakfast service were absolutely fantastic as well. We took advantage of the free shuttle service to and from Minakami Station, which was also easy to navigate. This was the perfect quiet and relaxing escape during our honeymoon!
None - the whole visit was fantastic.

Amazing place, from pick up at the station until we left / everything was perfect! All the staff were exemplary, catering to all our needs. The dinner was worthy of Michelin imo, grande course with so many options. The breakfast too and it snowed so everything was beautiful, the views 😍 We had private onsen room and the room was huge, steeped in tradition and the onsen was lushhhh especially when you open the door the combo of heat and cold! will be back again, recommended!

It is the perfect place if you want to get a relaxing trip with a traditional Japanese onsen. The location is quiet and with perfect picturesque views of the mountains from the onsen. The staff are really nice and accommodating, even though we don't speak japanese. The food is amazing and at the same level of a fine dining restaurant every breakfast and dinner. Special thanks to Chinoki who served us everyday in English and helped us enjoy our meals everyday.
Nothing, the stay was perfect.
