Tenjin Lodge, hotel in Minakami

Surrounded by lush mountains in Minakami, Tenjin Lodge is just a 5-minute walk from Tenjindaira Snow Resort Ropeway and JR Doai Station.

The lodge manager is a super chill dude,despite arriving very late, he managed to cook me up a nice dinner. The lodge can be reachable via Joetsu JR if you get off at 土合駅 Doai station, and if would more than ideal if you can drive. Be wary of that the doai station has a long underground tunnel that would take you 8 minutes even if run down stairs.

Kinseikan offers a free transfer service from Minakami Station, a 10-minute drive away. It features 4 public hot spring baths and offers Japanese-style rooms which include breakfast and dinner.

I really appreciated the staff friendly and took us take a walk to a shrine. That gave us an activity. The onsens were so good. Especially the dinner was so delicious and a lot to eat including beef, scallops and fish. I really like the food also provided with special sauces with them. I really appreciate the work of chefs. The room was so big and clean, with a window with trees pretty like a photo. They also so nice to offer drive me to my next hotel close by, service is excellent.

    Amazing picturesque location!

    Amazing picturesque location! Mineral water was natural and wonderful. Be prepared to sleep on a futon on the floor, but other than that very comfortable. People are very nice anyways in Japan, but the staff here was particularly helpful and accommodating. Free shuttle bus from Jomo-Kogen was a real plus which enabled us to get there from Tokyo via Shinkansen. Wish we could have stayed longer!

    Thank you super nice lady at the front desk who greeting me upon arrival and during all my stay which make me feel welcome. The mountain view of the outdoor onsen, the snow falling down, was incredible. Very good food quality and hospitality of serving staff. Disliked · No access to snow area in the hotel

    Great place for skiing.

    Great place for skiing. We tried Houdaigi Ski area and Minakami kogen200 ski resort. Both were excellent. Houdaigi is just a ski area with a restaurant and gift shops. The ski slopes are good. Minakami kogen200 is a hotel with attached ski area, which makes it a ski resort I guess. It's hard to find vegetarian or vegan food in these areas though.

    Very old town, many of the restaurants and shops were closed - probably because of COVID-19. The nature is truly beautiful there, huge mountains, lots of natural water and flowers. There are also many hiking trails that can be a bit tricky to find but it's definitely worth it to do some research about the area.

    Self driving is a proper way to Minakami, especially during driving to the onsen. Both sides of the road, you can view the forest and trees covered with whitish snow and natural stream and dams in it. No need to hurry when you drive and you can take a photograph anytime during the journey.

    An onsen town at the base of the Japan Alps.

    An onsen town at the base of the Japan Alps. A slow town that's a little run down thanks to overdevelopment during the bubble era. However, it feels like its making a comeback, with a thriving adventure activity scene and community, as well as cheap, good quality accommodation. There's even a craft beer bar and a good quality pizza joint. Access is very good, with a bullet train station nearby and frequent buses offering access to nearby nature and activities. Give it a few years and a bit of love and it will be a thriving destination.

    The location was one of the best places I have visited an onsen. This place is very big, old and historical. There is nothing near the hotel, it’s completely hidden and you can hear the birds and frogs and the river running from your window. It was fantastic! The staff was very very kind and everything was well taken care of. The rooms are very nice and look out on the river. The kaiseki dinner was amazing and I loved the onsen, especially the one outside with the small waterfall. This place was just a dream!

    This was a very good experience all around. A bit remote from the tourist cities of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, but a hotel pick up from the local JR line was really useful. The hotel was very picturesque, but the highlight was the individual onsens within each room. The staff were very friendly and attentive, but a special shout out to Wakana took the famous Japanese hospitality to a whole new level. 10/10!

    Beautiful location, amazing 3 mixed outdoor onsens to enjoy with your partner (also more for men and women separately) Room was spacious and had a traditional Japanese style. Staff was super friendly and kind. The location offered a free shuttle bus to pick you up from the train station as well as give you a ride back. Really recommend this place!!

    Wonderful staff with an attention to customer service. The room exceeded our expectations and the private onsen in the room was lovely. If you want a quiet and relaxing onsen getaway where your needs are taken care of for a night or two, this is a great spot. Food was good and felt locally inspired.

    The hotel is quite near Minakami station, about 5 minute walk. The facility meets my expectation. The owner also provides me with Yukata (and a Hanten because it's cold). The staff can speak English and very friendly. I try the first shared onsen here, this was quite an interesting experience.

    I loved the location, it’s a really pretty valley. Easy drive into Minakami and whilst we were not there during ski season, it is close to a ski slope or a hiking route during other seasons. Bikes also available for use.
