Located in the Japanese Alps, Minakami is a nature lover's paradise that offers a serene and tranquil atmosphere perfect for those seeking a break from the city. A standout attraction is the Oze National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve known for its stunning waterfalls, alpine lakes, and vibrant autumn foliage. One unique thing travellers love about Minakami is its hot springs, or onsen, which are abundant and offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The best time to visit Minakami is during the autumn months (September to November) when the foliage is at its peak, but it's also a great destination for winter sports enthusiasts. For first-timers, we recommend renting a car to explore the surrounding countryside and access the numerous hiking trails and onsen facilities.
Budget travellers can explore Minakami for around $179/day, covering basic accommodation (from $120/night) and street meals (from $18 each).
