Hotel Analysis
Based on 3 sites · 925 reviews
A traditional ryokan in Yamagata's Kaminoyama Onsen. Every room has a private onsen bath and outdoor baths are available. Guests frequently mention 'food, onsen, and staff service' in reviews.
Reviews across sites praise the 'excellent kaiseki dinners' repeatedly. Courses with Yamagata beef and local ingredients stand out. Rooms are spacious with great views, and soaking in private onsens is routine. Staff handle everything from luggage to clearing snow off cars attentively.
Some note the hotel feels a bit dated, with pillows or beds uncomfortable. Shuttle pickup responses can be slow.
Especially suits couples and families. Great for snowboarding or onsen relaxation.
