Lodges in Minamioguni

The owner was very kind. I texted her a day earlier as it was snowing and we needed a taxi to go to Kuju ski center. And she booked for us! We were so thankful.

With the limited accommodation available in the area it was Ok. Lots of space compared to other rooms in Japan. No where to eat in the area. The kitchenette might have been useful if it had any utensils?!. Just 4 cups & a kettle. The western beds are very hard. Handy tip.. pop the Japanese mat on to bed under the sheet for a very comfy bed. The breakfast was traditional Japanese and plentiful. Good coffee.

The husband and wife team running this property is amazing. Their breakfast was prepared and served with pride, and attention to detail. I love the little touches in their tea room. A piano, shelves of books and interesting paraphernalia all contribute to a wonderful homey British countryside vibe. The vast space outside the property includes a hammock and an observatory. The owner is happy to bring you to explore the stars at 8pm there. Our teens had great fun there. We are an entourage of 7 including an elderly who ocassionally uses the wheelchair. We didnt find it hard to get around the property. We love the space of the bedrooms and the privacy of this whole compound. Also love the private onsen where you had to walk just 2 min out(still within the compounds) and you have the whole place to yourself for 50 minutes i think? It was basic but comforting. Just the thing to unwind to after a long day driving around. Booking required. Please note the dinner has to be booked 2 days in advance. We forgot about it and regretted since the breakfast was so yummy.
