Minakamikan

Was a interesting stay, the onsens were great and we found this most amazing craft beer brewery called Octone which you need to try out. The owners were unreal.

The hotel was very tired and definitely needs a makeover. In fact the whole town needs a makeover. A number of derelict hotels and buildings spoil this quaint town. Our room was a traditional Japanese style so were on the floor, the pillows had bricks in them, luckily there were soft cushions available as a substitute.

Another of the reception staff was very helpful and river is beautiful. Private onsen was nice.

Public Onsens were not available to people with tattoos and first room a/c was broken and we had to move all of our stuff from one room to the next without any help again. Doesn't seem to be geared to cater for foreign tourists. The outside terrace was serverely dilapidated hence could not go outside. one of the reception was not particularly helpful and at times seemed rude. There was no restaurant service when we went for as hoc meals and lunch so had to go to family mart.
