La familia que lleva la casa es muy amable, cálida y atenta con los huéspedes. Las habitaciones son cómodas y limpias. Cuando llegue me invitaron a unirme a ellos para cenar, todo platos caseros variados y con ingredientes locales. El Sukiyaki estuvo delicioso! También tienen muchos ingredientes a compartir en el desayuno. Tuve que marchar pronto en la mañana para mí siguiente destino pero desde luego Mintaro Hut es un lugar al que vale la pena volver! ミンタロウハットは最高!

I spent one night here and would have loved to stay longer. Hide-san created a little paradise in his house. As a solo traveller or couple, if you are looking for a social/local experience with long nights of talking and sharing with the other guests, this is the perfect place. Home-cooked dinner based on donation was the best food I've had in Japan so far.

Everyone is very nice, the food is really good. Location is pretty good if you want to visit Zao.

Breakfast was included in the room price. There was freshly cooked rice every morning. You can use the kitchen and American style Bread, butter, honey, jam, ham, eggs, etc were always available. One needs to prepare breakfast themselves. Dinner is on donation basis. All the guests come together in the evening and enjoy the tasty Japanese homecooked food from the Host. Many of the guests staying there also cooked. There was just unlimited food and Sake. I even learned a to prepare a few Japanese side dishes. Rest you should experience it by yourself. I cannot wait to go there again. The host speaks English. The Staff was very helpful.

Very unique homestyle accommodation. We had a very busy day from Tokyo to Yamagata and when we reach into this house we feel so welcome, the checkin lady is nice to show us around. We didn’t join their gathering at night but the owner is so kind to offer 1 glass of drink. It is truly a nice and special experience! Car park is available too in front the buidling.

The community atmosphere! it was lovely, there is dinner cooked by the staff every night (payable by donation), friends of the owner come round and it feels like a family dinner where you can try different local food and hang out with local people. The kitchen area was super cosy and homely.

Hide and his staff were very welcoming. They gave us a tour of the house and invited us to their family meal (donation based). This meal was by far the best meal we've had in Japan, home cooked, healthy and extremely homey and comforting. If home cooked meals aren't your thing then the house is also stocked with snacks and quick food you can heat/warm up for a reasonable price. We really enjoyed family meal, it gave us an opportunity to meet the other guests and chat with Hide about his recipes. Thank you for everything! We hope to be back again soon!
