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.

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.

    Staff speaks English! They are also very helpful and explained the ins and outs very well (this is our first onsen). We had one person in our party with a lot of food issues and the person via chat was very thorough in seeing what they could make for her. I thought she would have to come with her own food but in the end they created a dinner and breakfast that she could eat AND enjoy!! Awesome. Room was huge! View of the river amazing! I was worried about insulation, but the heater worked surprisingly well.

    This is the best onsen we have been to. Exceptional service and facility. You feel that they care for every detail and do their best to provide an excellent environment such as the in-room amenities, the setting, and nighttime snacks and drinks. The onsen in the room is beautiful, and the public onsen faces the snow mountains and creeks that are so pretty. The kaiseki, the service, and the staff are first-rate. Thank you.

    The hotel is a mix of Japanese with European influence, so they'd have coffee in the lounge and lavender pouches on your pillows. Plus the French-Japanese fusion dinner was of high quality with loads of seafood and quite literally adorned with gold flakes! Breakfast was Osechi - New Year's food cos we arrived on the 3rd January but it was equally good!

    The location was absolutely beautiful, there is not a whole lot to do but it was very peaceful. Very nice and relaxing. The staff were super nice and accomodating and the onsen were amazing! I had some of the best sleep I ever had here, love the futon. There was an amazing shakuhachi performance and I will keep my stay here in my heart forever.

    Delicious breakfast. The dinner was also very good. We chose this hotel because of its great location. The people working at the hotel were extremely helpful to us. They gave us recommendations for snowshoeing, where to get lunch in town, and how to get the bus to Takaragawa Onsen. Much appreciated!

    + The staff were very friendly and helpful. + We pre-ordered the sukiyaki for dinner. It was absolutely delicious. + The rooms were spacious and comfortable. + Private Onsen is available. But you will need to shower at the public onsen first. + The grounds were beautiful. A very relaxing stay.

    We were worried a ryokan in the middle of nowhere had no one who could speak english but we were pleasantly surprised at the lady manager’s proficiency and she was excellent in communicating in english. The private onsen was incredible and so were the public baths.

    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.

    One of the larger hotels in Minakami, the room and the onsen facilities are in good condition. It is also quite close to the main onsen street where you can find restaurants too.
