Hotels With Spa in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan

My biggest mistake of this trip to Yamagata is to book this hotel. It's a good hotel but it's in the middle of nowhere. You will want to stay around the city of Yamagata province which is also called Yamagata city just so you can get to famous tourist spots. However this is 4 hours away from all of these. I had to book another hotel so I can stay 1 day in the city when I wanted to visit these places and the traveling time just completely made me exhausted. It took like 1 day to go to a place and 1 day to go back. It was so terrible, I was crying. This place is closed to Shonai airport not Yamagata airport so I also had to book another flight from Shonai. I wasted so much money for transportation. It was such a terrible experience. However the hotel is incredibly beautiful with smart design in everything. I loved the onsen very much. If it was just a vacation/restcation for relaxing purpose or isolate yourself from the human word, it's the best choice for you. Since its in the middle of the endless rice field, there is nothing to eat except for paying very high price to eat at the hotel's restaurant. And the food was just okay. The beauty of this hotel was like a trap. Its like I was blind from its beauty and couldn't see all other disavantages.

I think this hotel is in a great location and offers excellent service. However, it's a 20-30 minute walk from Yamagata Station, so if walking is too much for you, I recommend taking a taxi. It's a short walk if you stroll around town while sightseeing, so don't worry about that. Also, there's a hot spring on the first floor, but it's open until midnight, so if you want to take a night bath, there's a slight chance you might miss it depending on what time you get home. Of course, there's a regular shower room and bathtub in the room, so you can wash up there. In addition, the morning bath is open from 6am to 10am, so it's no problem to take a leisurely bath. With a hot spring, this was a great hotel that I'd like to return to. There's also a Lawson on the first floor, so you can buy something to eat and relax in your room.

I wanted to stay at a ryokan, so I made a big decision and booked a place with a private bath!! Sendai is a bit far, so I rented a car. The staff were surprisingly friendly and the facilities were fantastic. There was a communal bath, and best of all, the breakfast and dinner were delicious. The menu was different every day, which made eating there even more enjoyable. I was worried because there weren't many Korean reviews, but it exceeded my expectations!!

Sehr professionell geführtes Hotel mit englischsprachigen, ausgesprochen zuvorkommenden (und erstaunlich vielen) Mitarbeitern. Ausgezeichnetes Onsen mit Außenbereich und sehr klarer Luft. Hervorragendes, extrem reichhaltiges Essensangebot mit offener Küche. Schöne Lobby mit Innengarten. WiFi geht gut, ist aber je nach Hotelbereich ein anderes. Es wird lokaler Wein angeboten. Sehr ruhiges Umfeld, 10min vom Bahnhof. Das gesamte Hotel bis auf die Küche sind gepflegt und alles funktioniert. Fester wurden geputzt, gucken sie nach sowas mal in Europa… Aber es ist in 2025 alles auf dem Stand von 1983 - plus WiFi. Das muss kein Mangel sein, aber hier und da sieht man es deutlich auch im Zimmer z.B. bei den Rollos und dem betagten (aber leisen) Kühlschrank, der noch nie abgetaut worden zu sein scheint und in dem eine Kanne mit Wasser stand, dass gekühlt genug Zeit zum Verdunsten und wieder Kondensieren hatte, vielleicht steht sie da schon immer…

Facilities: Average, not very new, but not bad. Hygiene: The sanitation is pretty good Environment: The town is very quiet, the snowy scenery is beautiful, and every household has a persimmon tree Service: The service needs to be improved. The guy at the front desk can hardly speak English and is not very enthusiastic, which is different from many Japanese hostels Dining: Dinner is not bad, quite rich, and the tableware is also beautiful Special praise for the free snacks and coffee in the lobby☕️

Good location, clean and nice peaceful hotel. Connected with S mall and has bus station outside. Close to Tsuruoka station by foot. The onsen or hot bath was okay, bit outdated. The outside hot bath was closed and dry sauna was warm. Breakfast waa good.

The hotel covers a large area, has many guest rooms, and has its own free parking lot with plenty of parking spaces. The annex building where I stayed has a slightly worse environment than other places, but overall it was pretty good. Breakfast was 1210 per person. There are many places to eat nearby, including a conveyor belt sushi restaurant that is pretty good, and many people lined up.

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.

it’s a very good vital and very friendly to families especially to little kids! very nice dinner and traditional japanese breakfast! really a special experience with my family

The room I booked was a single-bed room without a bathroom. It was a Japanese-style tatami room with a bed and table converted into a wheelchair-friendly room. The price was relatively cheap. There is no problem if you use it as a budget hotel room, but if you want to experience a hot spring hotel, it is recommended to choose a Japanese-style tatami room.
