Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 7 reviews
Located in Yunohama Onsen, Yamagata Prefecture, this inn features a kakenagashi hot spring, where water flows directly from the source. Its proximity to the ocean, just a two-minute walk away, makes it an ideal spot for enjoying summer beach activities or watching the sunset over the Sea of Japan.
Guests appreciate the cleanliness of the rooms despite the building's age. The meals, featuring fresh local seafood, are highly regarded, and the warm hospitality of the owners is frequently mentioned in reviews.
It is important to note that bathroom and shower facilities are shared. Since there are few dining options nearby at night, booking with meals included is recommended. As it requires a bus ride from Tsuruoka Station, travelers using public transport should check the schedule in advance.
