Suwakyo Promenade, Minakami hotel rooms at the Independent

"Excellent hotel, the room was very spacious. Great buffet breakfast selection. Friendly staffs. Free shuttle bus to Yuzawa station every 30 mins. The snow resort is right next to the hotel; however, it was not yet opened when we were there (mid December) We had to travel to Kagura."

"Everything you need and nothing that you don't. Just beware that in could only find one place for dinner in the area and bring breakfast."

"staff were polite, friendly and made us feel at home! special thanks to dining staff Shinya san who was attentive and friendly especially to young children, and also for accommodating our request to dine earlier. he even folded crane origami for us! we really appreciate his thoughtfulness, thank you so"

"Hot spring"

"Nice Onsen, professional dinner & breakfast buffet and great Omotenashi!! "

"Second visit here. Perfect for family getaway with kids in winter. Also good spot for summer when watching Fuji Rock music Festival. Would definitely stay again."

"Absolutely amazing! Exceeded all expectations! Did not want to leave! "

"The staff didn't give accurate information - all the staff were Chinese so both English and Japanese language was not clear. There are 2 separate buildings. It's a very steep hill to the hotel, so it was very tiring to walk carrying luggage. The bath was not available at the time that we stayed. The toilets are small. But the room was clean, comfortable, and warm. The showers were also hot, but the water pressure was a bit weak. There are better places to stay in this area."
