Minamata is home to a number of excellent resorts, hotels, and Japanese-style inns, centered around its two hot spring ("onsen") villages. Yunoko Onsen overlooks the Shiranui Sea, offering amazing views of the sunset and easy access to Minamata's only beach, while Yunotsuru Onsen is tucked into the mountainside, surrounded by hiking trails and featuring some quaint shops and restaurants. There are also lodging facilities in downtown Minamata for those on business trips.
Links to the websites of the inns and hotels in Minamata are located below. However, all but a few are in Japanese, so if you are interested in making a reservation at one of these inns, please consider doing so through a multilingual travel agency.
