Minakami, Gunma Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great location 2 minutes' walk from the ski run. Food was high quality French/Western cuisine, 5 course dinners. We stayed 5 nights and the food only repeated on the last night, but since it was lobster and steak that was fine! Also they have discount lift tickets about 30% off. Only downside is shared bathroom (common in Japan). Still, 9.9/10."

"Ski in ski out, perfect powder snow every day. Convenient locker. Amazing breakfast. Friendly service. "

"We enjoyed our stay. Great staff and service. Very clean and a good dinner buffet. The hotel is a bit of a hike uphill. Google maps might tell you to approach from the right, go behind the hotel and come around to the entrance. This route has a bunch of uneven steps and is somewhat steep. It’s better to approach from the left side up a paved road with an even incline."

"Room was spacious and clean; hotel breakfast is nice and conveniently located (near train station). "

"This was by far my greatest stay so far in japan. Amazing food, amazing building, amazing onsen! But westerners be wary, you will need to sacrifice some of your typical understanding of amenitys, theres no showers in the rooms, and very little english is spoken in this whole town. That being said i cant rate it less than 5 stars! If you come to this hotel, be prepared to eat (amazing) foods you never thought youd try, and immerse youself in the japanese culture. If you do not want to immerse yourself, this may not be the place for you."

"We had a 16 days Minakani Onsen trip, staying in 6 different hotels. We stayed at Hotel Lomosa for 3 nights in total. We had clean, big and two queen size beds room, with buffet breakfast included. Excellent staff provided great service. The buffet was nice and thoughtful. The onsen quality and bathing area are totally acceptable! The owner drove us between hotel and train station was greatly appreciated! We wish Lomosa the best!!!"

"Great room and outstanding service. The breakfast was excellent too"
