Houshi Onsen Chojukan  

On the Houshi River in Minakami, this riverfront onsen sits about 17 km from the town center. It’s roughly a 20-minute drive to Takumi-no-Sato crafts village and about an hour from Mount Tanigawa-dake—perfect for nature escapes and onsen hunting.

Housed in a wooden building that dates back around 100 years, the property offers Japanese-style accommodations with tatami floors, low tables and seating cushions. Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows with nature views, guests sleep on traditional futon bedding and receive yukata robes. Toilets and bathing facilities are shared; rooms may include a TV and slippers depending on category.

Soak in a public hot spring bath right on the river. Free Wi‑Fi and free on-site parking keep things easy. Onsite elevator and a safe-deposit box add practical convenience. Wake up to calm river and mountain views.

Wi‑Fi is available throughout the property to help you stay connected.

An onsite dining room serves Japanese cuisine with breakfast and dinner included on-site. Expect traditional meals that pair well with the onsen experience.
