Vacation rentals in Minakami, Tone District

It was the best stay I've had so far. It said to contact them in advance for the check-in time, so I contacted them after noon on the day. When I arrived on time, they welcomed me while shoveling snow, and they also helped me carry my luggage. The interior was very clean. There was plenty of dishes and cooking appliances, and there was no inconvenience in cooking. (There were no seasonings provided.) There were also three toilets and washrooms, so there was no problem staying with 10 people. I didn't use the washing machine, but there was a very large washing machine. It was Kusatsu Onsen in the middle of winter, but there was air conditioning and floor heating, so I didn't feel cold indoors at all. Bathing was decided at the bathing time as described, but I think it was necessary from a safety point of view. There are 3 showers, and the bathtub is large enough for 3 adults to stretch out. It was great with a clean and well-kept hot spring. There was also a heater, and the water didn't get cold. The location was about a 5-minute walk to a convenience store, a 5-minute drive to a supermarket, and about a 10-minute walk to Yubatake. There are many slopes and the roads are not cleared of snow, so if you are not used to it, you need to be careful when visiting in winter, but I think the location is perfect. After checking out, they kept our luggage so we could enjoy Kusatsu Onsen to our heart's content. I highly recommend this place to stay for those considering visiting Kusatsu.

Great host, easy to access and beautiful view

Luke was a great host- he really went above and beyond for us! The house was just as advertised as well as being clean and spacious. Location is great- close to the slopes, onsens, and downtown. Can’t wait to visit again!

We loved our stay at Kenji’s place. It’s in a secluded location, surrounded by cherry blossom trees, overlooking a beautiful valley. It’s a bit far away from everything, but that was a plus for us - we were looking for something quiet. The Airbnb consists of one older, traditional house (with a living room, dining room, bathroom and large kitchen) and two more modern houses that were recently renovated in a chalet style (one with a living area, kitchenette, bathroom and upstairs bedroom, one with just a bedroom). Everything was very clean and the hosts were incredibly kind - they really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. They even left us lots of snacks and apple juice from their own orchard. We highly recommend this place and would love to come back!

Great place. The room is in a cabin that’s part of a larger resort. Super friendly staff. Clean room. No air conditioning but the temperatures in the mountain are moderate so didn’t need it.

We stayed 3 nights and the place was epic, new, super clean, warm and comfortable. Chisato and Billy were hot on chat and gave recommendations and offered to make booking at every turn. We arrived midnight the fist night and Billy had been out in the snow at 10pm clearing the drive to make sure our arrival was easy and seamless. Highly recommend their properties, look forward to returning.

We really had a great stay here. The location was perfect with a rental car. 2 ski areas right up the road and the cute downtown with shops and restaurants around the corner. The house has so many bedrooms, and we only used 2 so we just closed off the others. The kitchen has everything you need for meals and we loved the espresso machine. We can’t wait to come in the Summer because I bet it’s absolutely beautiful.

Incredibly beautiful cabin with a unique character and great atmosphere. Noriko went above and beyond to ensure instructions were clear; from directions, check in, in home instructions, and recommendations nearby. Bathroom was 11/10 and gorgeous. Place was cold when we got there but provided heaters warmed it up very quickly. For those going there, Google maps directions brought you right to the front and was easy to find. If visiting during the winter season, make sure to have at least studless snow tires as roads are very icy.
