Yamagata Hotels

"This was the most beautiful Ryokan we’ve ever stayed in. Wonderful hosts, beautiful rooms, amazing food, lovely Onsen and absolutely stunning walks in the hills and mountains around. Thanks to our wonderful hosts!"

"Convenient location, very walkable. No dedicated drop off points which can make loading and unloading of suitcases difficult. "

"The staff was very nice and helpful. I would stay there again."

"It was hard to appreciate the full experience as the staff did not have an English translation for key protocol or amenities (I realise it is noted when booking that staff don’t speak English ) But to move forward and guests to experience the full Onsen experience this would be an enhancement The room was spacious but suffered from condensation and could do with some more up to date Electrical points "

"Great hotel!"

"The staff was so hospitable and made us feel welcome and comfortable. The food was the best we ate in Japan, and cooked with love. The outdoor onsen was heavenly. A visit I will never forget."

"We had a lovely stay. The staff were very hospitable and dinner on both nights was a brilliant experience. The private onsens were gorgeous. Highly recommend for a traditional Japanese stay."

"Hotel was nice with a nice public bath. Breakfast had many options and night noodles and snacks available after public bath was nice. Rooms were comfortable."

"Hotel’s onsen as shown in the website pictures are for members only. Only basic dormitory style rooms were offered with public bath which had water pressure problem that 2 cannot wash at the same time. The bath uses regular, non-hot spring water which only open from 800-2000. No hot water in the dormitory bathrooms. Hotel is well equipped with gym and game room however for members only. Wish more clarification on the booking sites for this. "

"Lovely hotel with excellent staff and service. "

"何度訪れても満足度は最高です　家族風呂はコロナ前より更に増設されていますし、大露天風呂も改修されて楽しさも倍増♪　料理も郷土料理が美味しく、専用個室で頂けるので格別なものが味わえます。是非奥飛騨を満喫してみてはどうでしょう　お勧めです!"
