Overview

Minakami Kogen Hotel 200 gives you a full resort stay in Fujiwara, Minakami, surrounded by a large highland setting of forests, open slopes, golf courses, walking routes, and seasonal outdoor activities. The hotel stands inside Minakami Kogen Resort 200, making it a strong base when you want hot spring bathing, mountain views, golf, skiing, snow play, ziplining, rafting, or a quiet break in Gunma’s uplands.
