水上温泉【あらたし みなかみ】群馬｜2022年新規オープン｜お部屋にハズレなし！｜Japanese hot-spring｜onsen

Hello, I’m shiba. Today I’m in Minakami Town, Gunma Prefecture. It is in the middle of Suijo Minakami hot-spring village. It is sad to see the use of large ryokan decrease with the passage of time and the buildings in decline, but a new hot spring hotel will open in 2022. This time, I’ll visit this stylish looking inn. Today’s inn Minakami Onsen “Aratashi Minakami” Outside shoes for strolling. Excuse me. The simple modern lobby is not large, so most people go to the lounge in the back after check-in. Self-serve welcome drinks and mini cakes are provided. Let’s have it at the table. The view from the all-glass wall is breathtaking! Established in November 2022, 4 floors, 42 rooms Operated by Phildo Co., Ltd. headquartered in Sapporo New brand “Aratashi” is new+neutral The concept is “Moderate distance of service.” The best-selling point is that all rooms are equipped with an open-air hot spring bath. All rooms are Western-style, and the target customers seem to be in their 20s and 30s. Today’s room 404 Open Insert the room card key and the lights will turn on. As expected, it’s a beautiful room. 27 square meter twin room I’d like to see the open-air bath first. When you open the thick door, The balcony is nice and wide. This is the first time I see a lid on an open-air bath. It was filled with plenty of hot water. That’s to prevent the water from getting cold and bugs from getting in. A thick curtain is affixed in front of the bathtub, so it appears that the outside cannot be seen. It’s a very comfortable chair. Since this is the top floor (4th floor), the view is especially nice. The Tone River is below. It’s a detox! Twin beds. Triple rooms also available. Neither hard nor soft. Just right! The new hotel is non-stressful, with electrical outlets, etc. all by the beds. It is a really simple structure with no extra objects. There seem to be cups but no tea packets. Safe is PIN-based. The refrigerator is empty, so get your drinks from the vending machine. Inn clothes placed on the bed It is made of 100% cotton double gauze and feels good against the skin. There is no closet, but hangers and towel racks are placed at the entrance. Naturally, the water area is shiny and clean. Towels were under the sink. Wooden hot water baskets are rare. It may be a little heavy for being firm. Chic shower booth The restrooms are also clean. I’m off for a stroll in the indoor shoes! The front desk, restaurant, and baths are on the first floor, and guest rooms are on the second through fourth floors. Terrace seen from the lounge. It is a little difficult to find, but there is an entrance and exit next to the lounge. There is a sense of openness at once! It is the best place to visit! By the way, this is a self-service pre-payment upon check-in. Amenities are not in the rooms but at the front desk, so bring what you need. I’d like room slippers and a toothbrush. Let’s have some drip coffee. In front of the elevator on the first floor is a colorful knit poncho. Like this. Fashionable! I found a vending machine. The lineup looks like this. The price is…You can’t see it. Sorry. It is hard to tell because of the door, but there are water servers and washing machines on each floor. Return to my room and immediately use slippers. It is difficult to determine what is necessary and what is not… I would like one bottle of mineral water in a pot in the room. 6:00 p.m. Dinner. During meal times, the lounge seems to turn into a restaurant. You are shown to your seat and order your drink with your smartphone by reading the QR code. One choice… A full course of original dishes that changes with the seasons. The sun is slowly setting at dusk. Seats other than window seats are much closer next to each other. About the same as in a cafe. There is a coffee server. Appetizer: Japanese tuna tartar with garlic toast An innovative dish that mixes Japanese and Western flavors. The second item was a salad of seaweed, okra, and cold shabu-shabu. Cold soup: pumpkin potage over edamame flan A little strong taste. Fish: sauteed sea bass The food is well arranged. Everyone was taking pictures. I forgot to take a video and ate half of it, but you can choose rice or bread. Meat: Akagi chicken and beef dice steak (grilled on skewers) It is much livelier. Sorry it’s hard to hear. Overall, the taste was distinct. It is casual enough to be enjoyed by the younger generation, including the way it is served. Dessert: rare cheese tart with peach jelly Thank you for the meal. It’s all dark now. Nice night breeze. It’s a good place to sober up. Good night. Good morning. Negative ions and hot springs in the morning! It’s good to have an open-air bath in the room after all! Hot water volume and temperature are automatically controlled. The system seems to flow from the hot water outlet when the hot water is reduced. I will give you the source information later when I take a video of the large bathroom. 7:30 a.m. Breakfast. When you check in, you decide whether you want Japanese or Western food, and time. Juices are available at the drink bar. This coffee server is good, but there is always a line because it takes a long time to extract the coffee I hear a flicker of hope that there is another one. It tastes so good, it’s a shame to have complaints. I decided on a Western-style meal. One-plate breakfast. It really is like a cafe here! I looked in on the neighbors and the Japanese food looked good too. Three kinds of warm bread Salad, yogurt, corn soup Potato, sausage, doria and cocotte Thank you for the meal. Finally, there is a public bath. There are separate large and outdoor baths for men and women, respectively. It is not a replacement system. The bath mark is nice. Excuse me for going to the women’s bath. Changing lockers are lockable and secure. The vanity is bright and clean. This is a public bath. There are about 6 washing places. Sauna is “Auto-Löyly sauna” and a water bath. Source: Mizukami Onsen (old hot water)

The view is obstructed, but there is plenty of sunlight! Deck chairs popular with sauna users 10:00 a.m. It’s check-out time. This inn is in the lineage of hot spring hotels, which are increasing in number these days. The inn has introduced self-service as much as possible, especially in reducing labor costs. I hope it can become a base for the younger generation to visit. Thank you for helping me.
