"A One-Key Michelin Relais & Châteaux sanctuary with 18 exquisite rooms, each featuring a private open-air onsen; dinner is a high-end kaiseki for guests only, a sublime blend of local, seasonal ingredients executed with artistic precision by Chef Mitsuhiro Tomioka." - Brent Rose
"An intimate retreat with only 18 rooms, each with its own private hot spring in Minakami, Japan. Offers a peaceful, minimalist yet elegantly modern interior with a spectacular backdrop of Mount Tanigawa-dake." - Faye Bradley
"Amid serene forest in Minakami, an architectural odyssey through time unfolds in tatami-style Japanese rooms, with a tranquil, seasonally shifting backdrop that includes snow-capped Mt. Tanigawa-dake. All 18 guest rooms have a private natural hot spring bathroom, immersing stays in the town’s renowned onsen culture and Japan’s timeless wellness ethos." - Faye Bradley
"Once in the rooms you’ll find relatively little that breaks the mold of a traditional ryokan." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Bettei Senjyuan is proof positive that contemporary design need not clash with the ryokan’s traditional presentation. The long, arcing main corridor may be a work of modern architectural innovation, but it exists in perfect harmony with the timeless charms of the tatami-style rooms within — as perfect now as they’ve always been." - Mark Fedeli
