forumWhat families say
Because the ryokan reopened under a new brand on August 7, 2026 (formerly Minakami Onsen Gensen Yu no Yado Matsunoi), there are no guest review ratings yet under the new brand. As an Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium property, it is set up as an onsen ryokan for families to enjoy together, with a free Kids Park featuring large multi-level play structures, an outdoor pool in summer, bath-hopping across 3 open-air baths and 5 private-hire baths, a buffet with a live kitchen, and free baby food and children's tableware and chairs.

Overview
Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Matsunoi opened in August 2026 in Minakami Onsen, Gunma, looking out over the Tone River and Mount Tanigawa. Guests can go bath-hopping through three open-air baths - Wakaba no Yu, Ao no Yu and Akane no Yu - and five private-hire baths, all filled with the gentle water of a simple onsen. Inside, there is a Kids Park with large multi-level play structures and a summer-only outdoor pool, and the restaurant provides baby food along with children's tableware and chairs. The communal bath is stocked with baby baths and baby chairs, making it easy to bathe even with a small child.
Rooms
Guest rooms are spread across three buildings - Wakaba-kan, Ao-kan and Tsubaki-kan - in a range of types including Japanese-style tatami rooms, Japanese-Western rooms and twins. The Japanese-style tatami rooms come in 10- and 12-tatami-mat sizes, and rooms sleeping 3 to 5 guests are available, which suits families well. Japanese-Western rooms range from those for 1 guest to those for 8, and the Superior Japanese-Western rooms in Wakaba-kan come with their own onsen open-air bath. The suite-type rooms in Ao-kan also have a semi-open-air bath, though it is not fed by the hot spring.
Dining
Breakfast and dinner are both buffets at the restaurant Mizuoto. Dinner is served from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. The restaurant provides baby food as well as children's tableware and chairs.
Baths and Onsen
On the grounds there are three open-air baths - Wakaba no Yu, Ao no Yu and Akane no Yu - along with indoor baths and five private-hire baths, so guests can go bath-hopping through the simple onsen water. The private-hire baths cost 3,000 yen for 45 minutes; they cannot be reserved in advance and are booked on the day until 11 p.m. The changing room of the communal bath has baby baths and baby chairs, so you can bathe with a small child with peace of mind. Children aged 7 and over, or 120 cm and taller, use the bath that matches their gender.
Family-Friendly Features
The Kids Park inside the building has large multi-level play structures where children can run around to their heart's content, and a summer-only outdoor pool is also available. Children's yukata are provided, and co-sleeping is allowed for up to one child. Children's rates depend on age and on whether meals and bedding are included: elementary school children pay 80% of the adult rate regardless of grade, children aged 3 and over with meals and bedding pay 60% of the adult rate, and children under 3 who co-sleep without meals or bedding stay free of charge. Combinations such as meals only or bedding only are not available. If a child under 3 needs an extra futon, it can be arranged with advance notice for an additional charge of 2,200 yen.
