Akayu Onsen Gotenmori ★★★

"Superb! The facilities are excellent, service is great, and the location is very convenient. The hot spring is incredibly relaxing. I didn't expect a hot spring hotel not located in the mountains to be this good. The food quality is also good, and very filling. The only downside is that they keep your shoes in the lobby, so you have to ask them to retrieve them every time you go in or out. It's best not to go in and out too frequently."

Yamagata the Takinami ★★★

"When you go to Japan, you must stay at a ryokan and if you can only go to 1 ryokan, go to Takinami. The service could not be more thoughtful and kind. Thank you especially to Mr. Suto for his help. The food is absolutely delicious. And I appreciate the chef’s ability to accommodate a celiac in our family who needs to be gluten free. The beds were very comfortable and the private onsen is wonderful. There are interesting things to do on the property and nearby. It is an easy 3 hr bullet train ride from Tokyo. It is a memorable experience. Everything is 10 star. Don’t miss it."

Ryokan Yamatoya ★★★

"I felt good, and the service was excellent!"

Tansen Hotel ★★★

"The room is very clean, but the breakfast could be better if it was a little richer"

Yuyado Masugataya ★★★

"The bath was always put in by the source, and it was a little hot, but the body was warm and comfortable I was worried about the dirt in the drain in the bathroom attached to the room, but the customer service was good and the breakfast was delicious 😊"

Morinoyu ★★★

"I suddenly had the day off work so I made a reservation on the same day. The service was polite, the room was clean, and I was able to spend a satisfying and relaxing time."

Matsushimakan ★★★

"The first time I experienced a traditional Japanese-style hot spring hotel, I felt novel, the hot spring hotel was so big."

Ryokan Daimonjiya ★★★

Chouja Yashiki ★★

"I saw this inn on a TV program before and wanted to stay there sometime. I was traveling to Yamagata, and I was having trouble finding a place to stay because I would be bringing a cat and a dog with me, but I found out that Chojayashiki also accepted cats, so I decided to stay at Chojayashiki right away. . When I stayed there, the room was clean and there wasn't a single insect, so I was able to spend a comfortable time there. I used the built-in bath, and it was clean and there were about 1 to 2 steps so I could sit and take a bath, and it felt like a hot spring. For dinner, we were served 8 to 10 dishes, all of which were delicious, and I was surprised by the way they were cut and how the ingredients were used. The seasoning was a combination of Japanese and Western flavors, making it fun and delicious every time I ate it. I would like everyone to experience it for themselves."
