What is Minakami Hotel Juraku?
As mentioned earlier, Minakami Hotel Juraku is a long-established hot spring hotel that opened in 1956 and has a history of more than 60 years.
In the past, it seemed that the firm impression used for company employee travel was strong, but now the image has changed to a homely hotel where people of all ages, men and women, a wide range of people stay.
The room rates range from 7,400 yen to 90,000 yen per person.
If you use the benefits of Gunma-chan passport, you can get 2 stamps per night (+1 on weekdays).
In the case of multiple nights, you can get a stamp for the number of nights.
When you get the stamp, ask the hotel to read the special tag plate (QR code).
