It is located in&nbsp;<em>Chikugo-Yoshii<\/em>, a nationally designated Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, where Edo-period streetscapes and white-walled storehouses still remain, creating a richly atmospheric setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept of the inn is&nbsp;\u201cImmerse yourself in the life of Ukiha, sustained by water.\u201d&nbsp;Blessed with pure groundwater flowing from the Mino mountain range and the Chikugo River, Ukiha has long flourished thanks to its abundant water sources. A stay at Minamo invites guests to slow down and fully experience this water-nurtured way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name&nbsp;Minamo\u2014meaning \u201cwater\u2019s surface\u201d\u2014reflects the hope that the water-supported livelihoods of this region will continue to ripple gently into the future.

It is the only building in Ukiha with rare gray&nbsp;nezumi&nbsp;plaster walls, giving it a dignified presence. The property includes four rooms\u2014three in the main house and one in a detached annex\u2014each themed around&nbsp;<em>Books<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Space<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Sound<\/em>, or&nbsp;<em>Water<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Room 101 offers a \u201cImmerse in Books\u201d experience, featuring about 200 titles curated by a local bookstore. Room 103 is a \u201cImmerse in Sound\u201d space with a record player and speakers for enjoying music. Each room provides a distinct, theme-based stay. Room 104, located in the annex, features a private hinoki bath filled with clear underground spring water and a sauna, where guests can enjoy self-serve l\u00f6yly using locally produced hojicha tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minamo Horie Residence&nbsp;is a former Meiji-era family home that once operated as a local clinic, now offered as an exclusive rental. Spanning over 125\u33a1 across two floors, it includes a private kitchen and spacious Japanese-Western style rooms. Overlooking an Edo-period irrigation canal and a seasonal garden, it allows guests to experience life as if they were part of the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Minamo Kagamida Kura, added in April 2023, is a private rental renovated from the storehouse of the city-designated cultural property&nbsp;Kagamida Residence. Originally built in the late Edo to early Meiji period, this 160-year-old earthen kura has been thoughtfully restored. The first floor features an exclusive private bar counter for guests, where you can spend a quiet evening enjoying local Ukiha sake and drinks in your own intimate space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across all accommodations, original beams and earthen walls have been preserved as much as possible, while modern comforts have been seamlessly integrated. High ceilings, tatami-floored rooms, and tastefully balanced Japanese-Western interiors create an open yet relaxing atmosphere. Every room includes a private bathroom, and the Usui Residence rooms and Horie Residence feature hinoki cypress bathtubs. Soaking in the fragrant wood bath is a guest favorite for unwinding after travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The carefully curated amenities are another highlight. Refrigerators are stocked with local specialties unique to water-rich Ukiha, including Ishii Cider (a boldly carbonated local soda), drip coffee from ZELKOVA COFFEE, and Nagao Seimen\u2019s regional ramen known as \u201cRamen Kamen.\u201d Guests will also find bottled spring water, native tea bags, and even okara karinto sweets from Shigeoka Tofu Honpo, a third-generation tofu shop on the southern bank of the Chikugo River. Many of these items can be taken home as souvenirs, allowing you to enjoy the flavors of Ukiha even after your stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-vk-image-photoFrame-tilt-right\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ryokan-book.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/MG_0485-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3662\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-vk-image-photoFrame-tilt-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3663\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ryokan-book.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/MG_0500-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3663\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"meal\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Meal\"><\/span>Meal <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Minamo\u2019s greatest highlights is breakfast served in the grand hall of the city-designated cultural property&nbsp;Kagamida Residence. In this atmospheric tatami hall overlooking a traditional garden, guests enjoy a special morning meal made with an abundance of local Ukiha ingredients. The menu is supervised by the chef of the lifestyle gallery&nbsp;Budo no Tane&nbsp;and features seasonal, health-focused dishes showcasing fresh vegetables and fruits from local farmers, handmade tofu, and rice grown in terraced paddies. From house-made juice to freshly steamed rice and miso soup, just-prepared tofu from a long-established shop on the southern bank of the Chikugo River, and seasonal fruit harvested at the foot of the Mino mountain range, breakfast offers a true taste of Ukiha\u2019s natural bounty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dinner is not typically included in the stay, but curated partnerships with local restaurants allow guests to explore Ukiha\u2019s culinary scene. Options include a dinner plan at the nearby local izakaya&nbsp;Hachibunme, featuring creative dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, or a private dining experience where the chef of&nbsp;MAHORO756&nbsp;prepares a special course meal in your reserved townhouse. These collaborations with neighborhood restaurants provide diverse and memorable dining choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Room 201 at the Horie Residence is equipped with a full kitchen, allowing for self-catering. With an IH stove, microwave, oven toaster, and other appliances, guests can cook with fresh ingredients purchased at local markets or roadside stations\u2014making it possible to truly experience a \u201clive like a local\u201d stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"special-experience\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Special_Experience\"><\/span>Special Experience <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The greatest appeal of staying at Minamo lies not only in the accommodation itself, but in experiencing the landscapes and culture of Ukiha as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since breakfast is served in a separate building, guests take a morning walk from their rooms to the Kagamida Residence through the historic townscape. Strolling along streets lined with white-walled storehouses and traditional townhouses becomes a memorable part of the journey itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ukiha is blessed with abundant fruits and agricultural products year-round, as well as picturesque waterside scenery. The city is so rich in water resources that natural groundwater is used for daily life across most of the area\u2014and Minamo fully embraces this pristine spring water. Guests can brew native tea or coffee with the provided spring water in their rooms, and enjoy the crisp, boldly carbonated Ishii Cider\u2014specialties unique to this \u201ccity of water.\u201d Even a single cup of tea or glass of sake served at the inn carries the story of the land and its makers, allowing guests to connect with Ukiha\u2019s way of life through the smallest of experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-vk-image-photoFrame\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ryokan-book.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/MG_0742-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3667\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Minamo also offers a variety of experience programs for guests. One popular option is the \u201cMorning Town Walk Breakfast Plan,\u201d where guests stroll through town, stop by a beloved local onigiri shop or bakery, and bring freshly made rice balls or baked bread back to enjoy at the inn. Visiting neighborhood favorites and interacting with shop owners and locals is part of what makes the experience unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ukiha\u2014known as the \u201cFruit Kingdom\u201d\u2014also offers seasonal fruit-picking plans. At partnered orchards, guests can harvest ripe fruits with their own hands and enjoy their exceptional freshness on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A stay at Minamo goes beyond relaxing in a traditional townhouse. Through town walks, encounters with local residents, and seasonal flavors, guests gently immerse themselves in everyday life in Ukiha. For those who wish to travel as if living like a local, Minamo is the perfect base. Why not begin a special journey here\u2014one shaped by history and the pure waters that sustain this remarkable town?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plan-list\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plan_List\"><\/span>Plan List <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"plan-head-tag\">Plans<\/div><div class=\"ryokan-plans-section\">\n        <div class=\"ryokan-plan-container\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"\u65c5\u9928\u30d7\u30e9\u30f3\">\n            <div class=\"ryokan-plan-header\">\n              <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Room_Only_Plan_Minamo\"><\/span>Room Only Plan | Minamo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"ryokan-plan-body\">\n              <div class=\"ryokan-plan-body-col\"><div class=\"plan-lead-container is-active\" data-index=\"1\">\n                <figure class=\"plan-lead-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ryokan-book.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/MG_0463-1024x683-1.webp\" alt=\"Room\"><\/figure>\n                <div class=\"plan-lead-image-title-and-pagination\">\n                    <div class=\"plan-lead-image-title\">Room<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"plan-lead-image-carousel__nav\">\n                        <button class=\"plan-lead-image-carousel__arrow plan-lead-image-carousel__arrow--prev\" type=\"button\" aria-label=\"\u524d\u3078\" disabled=\"\"><\/button>\n                        <button class=\"plan-lead-image-carousel__arrow plan-lead-image-carousel__arrow--next\" type=\"button\" aria-label=\"\u6b21\u3078\"><\/button>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div><\/div>\n\n              <div class=\"ryokan-plan-body-col\">\n                <div class=\"plan-settings-wrapper\">\n                  <div class=\"plan-checkin-checkout-time\">\n                    <span>Check-in 15:00 \/ Check-out 11:00<\/span>\n                  <\/div>\n                  <ul class=\"plan-payment-methods\"><li>Online-Card Payment<\/li><\/ul>\n                  <div class=\"plan-dishes\">No Meal<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"plan-lowest-price\">\n                    <span>Total<\/span>\n                    <strong>23,300 per<\/strong>\n                    <span> JPY ~<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"ryokan-plan-footer\">\n              <h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recommended_Rooms\"><\/span>Recommended Rooms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n              <div class=\"recommended-rooms-container\" role=\"list\"><article class=\"recommended-room\" role=\"listitem\" data-index=\"1\">\n                <div class=\"recommended-room-col\">\n                    <figure class=\"recommended-room-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ryokan-book.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC02465-1-1024x683-1.webp\" alt=\"Usui Residence\"><\/figure>\n                    <p class=\"recommended-room-title\">Usui Residence<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"recommended-room-actions recommended-room-col\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSffS2MgYgEnFz5sOU5iSc10cX44Z3sixq7riHV_tVWLQ12jgg\/viewform?entry.2076841555=Harazuru%20no%20mai&entry.24021752=Room%20Only%20Plan\" class=\"bg-brand text-white\" data-room-index=\"1\" aria-label=\"Usui Residence\u3092\u4e88\u7d04\u3059\u308b\" target=\"_blank\">Reserve This Plan ><\/a>\n                    <button class=\"room-detail-modal__button\" type=\"button\"\n                            data-room-index=\"1\"\n                            data-room-id=\"2799\"\n                            aria-label=\"Usui Residence\u306e\u8a73\u7d30\u3092\u898b\u308b\">See Details ><\/button>\n                <\/div>\n                <template id=\"room-detail-tpl-2799\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"room-introduction\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Room_Introduction\"><\/span>Room Introduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ryokan-book.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC02465-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3686\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Retaining the authentic character of a traditional kominka, with its exposed beams and earthen walls, the residence is harmoniously blended with refined modern interiors.
