Tofu Matsumura makes handmade, healthy
Japanese cuisine using rich tofu crafted from
select organic soybeans and locally harvested,
fresh vegetables. You can also enjoy making
tofu skins by boiling soy milk over charcoal
flames. Surrounded by the bamboo thicket in the
courtyard and a variety of seasonal flowers, you
can savor your meal in the calmest of moods.

Minakami Kogen Hotel 200 will prepare a shuttle bus between the
hotel and Takaragawa Onsen. You can reserve the shuttle on the same
day, but we recommend you let the hotel know when you reserve your
room, as it can sometimes get busy.

Takaragawa Onsen14:4516:15
This little-known hot spring features a large open-air bath along
the edge of the river. In the winter, you can view the snow from the
hot spring, a beautiful scene that makes a big hit on social media.
Although it is a co-ed bath, both men and women dress in bathing
clothes before entering. There is a women-only open-air bath for
those who are still concerned.
Get on the shuttle bus headed for Minakami Kogen Hotel 200 and
return to the hotel.

Minakami Kogen Ski ResortThere is a ski resort right next to Minakami Kogen Hotel 200. What
sets this ski resort apart is the wide variety of activities you can
enjoy there. Some of these include snow rafting, snowmobiling, and
even dog sledding, which can only be experienced here and in
Hokkaido within Japan. There are also decorations set up in
collaboration with the popular anime Pokémon. While certainly fun
for the family, many courses with powder snow will satisfy even the
most hardcore skiers and snowboarders.
Have lunch at a restaurant in the hotel. There is a buffet and a curry
restaurant, both of which are popular with skiers.
