Minakami Onsen Tanigawa-so

About

Minakami (Water Springs) is Japan's premier adventure outdoor destination — the Tone River gorge that runs through the town offers whitewater rafting, bungee jumping, canyon trekking, and kayaking, while 18 distinct hot spring resorts line the river valley for post-adventure soaking. The Tanigawa-so ryokan occupies a riverside position with genuine hot spring baths drawing from Minakami's soft sodium spring, kaiseki featuring Gunma mountain vegetables and river fish, and a warm welcome for outdoor travelers returning from river activities. The Tanigawadake ski resort above the valley offers additional winter activities. At 90 minutes from Shinjuku by Shinkansen, Minakami is the closest serious outdoor adventure destination to Tokyo.
