Mogami District Hotels with Parking

Always remote rural areas, so travelling time is relatively long. The hotel facilities are also very complete, basically no need to leave the hotel to buy any daily necessities outside after check-in. The meals are also very rich and delicious. There are two hot springs in the hotel, one public and the other for single use, everyone can use according to their needs, very convenient. The only downside is that all the hotel staff are only Japanese and it is harder to communicate. I was asked to pay for extra meals when checking out, even when I showed my booking voucher that the room rate was included, they didn't understand, and I had to pay for it when I left. Fortunately, after communicating with trip.com staff, this duplicate payment can be returned. If I can't return it, I really want to cry.

I was looking for a ryokan to stay during my vacation in Tohoku area of Japan and stumped upon this ryokan. It is located to a small onsen village of Yamagata prefecture. Traveling to this location is not so convenient as JR Rikuu East line has suspended its service. However JR East provides bus service instead. This ryokan is operated by Ogawaya family. They are very friendly and very attentive. They don’t speak English well but this not a big problem for me who cannot speak Japanese. They offer breakfast and dinner with additional cost but must be booked in advance. Location is not close to any big city. It is suitable ones who look for a quiet place to unwind. Highly recommended if you want to stay away from tourist areas.
