Zazan Minakami (Formerly: Mizukami-kan)

We stayed in a Room with a private bath. We almost got lost on the way to the bath and dining area. The bath was excellent. There were many foreign staff members, but their Japanese was very good, and everyone was kind and took great care of us. The meals were also delicious. It may be unavoidable, but the exterior glass was dirty, which was the only slightly disappointing point.

I stayed at Zazan Minakami for two days to visit Mt. Tanigawa. I made a Reservation with the most affordable Plan and chose the mini kaiseki dinner course. At around JPY 10,000 per person per night, it was very reasonably priced, so I didn’t have especially high expectations at first.However, the staff kindly prepared a top-floor Room for us, and the view of the Tone River from the window was truly soothing. The Room was spacious and bright, and I was able to relax comfortably.Every meal had gentle flavors and was wonderful. In particular, the tempura served at dinner on the second day was crispy on the outside and tender inside—more memorable than dishes I’ve had at luxury Hotels. Breakfast also offered a wide variety of wholesome dishes that made me happy every morning.Even though it was an inexpensive Plan, we received such attentive hospitality that I’m both surprised and deeply grateful.When I visit Mt. Tanigawa again, I would definitely like to stay here. Thank you very much for everything.
