    One minor suggestion : the outlets in the room do not have the ground pin, so I couldn't use my laptop charger. I managed to power it from my phone charger, but I'd suggest keeping some extender which has grounded outlets on it, just in case.

    I liked everything! But you should fast at least for a week before checking in - breakfast and dinner are just beyond compare ! My primary goal was skiing, and this location is very convenient to cover nearby ski resorts in Gunma and Niigata.

    Our room was on the 3rd floor, no elevator and we didnt know it in advance. Had to carry all the havy suitcases by ourselves, if we new in advanve we would have packed differently for these 2 nights.

    The onsen is beautifull, all 3 of them. There is an option to have a private time in the onsen for the entire family with no strangers Beautifull view and experience imercing in the hot water watching the snow falls from the sky. Good comfortable futon beds

    Being off-season the town was very quiet so the hotel was also very quiet. It would have been more enjoyable with some more travelers to interact with. The upside was that all the baths became private baths.

    The room was massive and comfortable. Great view over the river. The staff were very friendly looked after us.

    Micasa is a traditional japanese ryokan with onsen. The entrance looks a little suspicious, but inside is beautifully decorated and smells really nice. The room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the river. There is no shower in the room, only toilet and wash basin, but there are 3 onsens in the small hotel you can use 24/7 and there you can wash yourself with much comfort. 2 different types of shampoo, conditioner and body wash was provided. After washing you can soak in the hot onsen water with minerals. The ryokan looked very child friendly with baby bath and toys in the onsens and small playing area with toys in the lobby. You sleep on tatami and mattress, no bed. But it was really comfortable. We also had the traditional dinner and breakfast. The food was server beautifully and there was a lot of it. Some were for an acquired taste, but it was a good setting to try natto and other traditional japanese foods. We were really happy with the experience.

    Maybe a couple more outlets in the room would have been nice

    We stayed at Micasa for two nights and really enjoyed ourselves. Outstanding breakfast and dinner, wonderful onsens (we particularly liked the one in the open air), it's really magical when it's snowing outside, friendly staff. I've read that other guests complained about not having a private shower in their room - we had one. Wi-Fi was ok. Would definitely recommend!

    Definitely, they made the place so good. I did enjoy the cleanliness, the onsen, and breathtaking views where our last day covered by snow in March.

    Only small issue would be to have more variation in dinners. For two nights its fine, but would recommend a menu rotation that lasts at least 3 and better 4 nights.

    Breakfast and dinner were large and tasty, the onsens spectacular, staff kind and helpful, and rooms very comfortable and clean. Micasa is also very close to Tenjin skiing (a few minutes drive up the road) and located in a cute town with good restaurants (and even pretty good local beer).

    It would be nice to have a ski / drying room. It’s a bit challenging to dry wet gear in the room.

    This is a beautiful small hotel. The staff are exceptional and the food was great. Onsens were also great.

    MICASA is fantastic. Beautiful property, with really comfy rooms with great views over the river and of the local train line. We were lucky enough that it started snowing just after we arrived, and we had a fantastic view of it from our room. The public and private onsens are both really nice and a good temperature. The food was fantastic. We’re not the biggest fans of kaiseki as it can often be too much food, but the quality and quantity of the food was spot on. The staff are lovely and always willing to help as well. For context, we’ve traveled all over Japan over 14 times now, and MICASA really does stand out from the crowd of Ryokans we’ve visited over the years. Can’t rate MICASA highly enough, and would love to visit again sometime.

    Love this property. It’s more on the traditional side but the room was large and the onsens were amazing. The highlight for me was the food. Highly recommend opting in to include the half board. The food was all home made and so good. It felt never ending as they give you around ~13 different types of food. The onsens change for male/female per specific time but I usually had them all to myself which was nice. The hotel is on the smaller side but definitely worth the price. It was beautiful when it snowed! It’s a ~15 min walk from Minakami station and a free shuttle back. You can also reach out to them before to request pickup.
