While Mino isn’t known for hot springs, Minokawa Ryokan stands out with its serene mountain-stream-fed indoor onsen and minimalist Japanese garden inspired by washi patterns. The stone-lined bath overlooks a lantern-lit courtyard that glows like a ukiyo-e print at night. Guests can enjoy morning tea under cherry blossoms while gazing toward Mino Washi no Sato Hall’s historic eaves. Though not a true onsen destination, the experience blends tranquility and craftsmanship. Book through HopeGoo to receive a limited-edition washi gift set.
