Minakami Kogen Hotel 200

It was excellent!

I made a reservation because I wanted to go sledding with my 6-year-old son. Although I'm not used to driving, we managed to get there somehow. First, I'd like to mention that the day after our stay, I realized I forgot my towel when trying to take a morning bath. As I hurried past the front desk, a male staff member with glasses asked me if I had forgotten my towel and offered to bring one for me. It was really appreciated as it was cold in my yukata. I was impressed by their hospitality and attention to detail. It's not a new hotel, but it was very clean due to thorough cleaning, allowing us to have a comfortable stay. After arriving, we changed into our gear and played endlessly with sleds and tubes before heading up for an open-air bath at check-in time. We were surprised that it was fed directly from the hot spring! The view was amazing. We relaxed in our clean room until dinner. The buffet-style dinner included luxurious items like chunks of tuna, roast beef, and sushi; everything tasted great no matter what we ate. The desserts didn't have the usual sheet cake feel but tasted homemade! The maple-flavored soft serve ice cream was also delicious! The room was clean and the bed comfortable; much appreciated by our tired bodies. Considering the price, every aspect including service and meal content left us completely satisfied with this hotel. We hope to visit again next year and try skiing with my son. Thank you for taking care of us; we made wonderful winter memories here. Thank you very much!
