Easy location near Yamagata Station, nice clean rooms and facilities, great amenities, 7-11 right downstairs, staff was great and friendly Everything about this hotel is made to be easy for the traveler. We didn’t include breakfast in our stay as it was for 6 nights but did buy tickets for one morning and it was delicious for a reasonable price

It was such a lovely experience to spend our night at Hohoemino Kuyufu Tsuruya. All staff are friendly with warm smiles, as its name 😊 It is very clean. I am very impressed when I see the lady at the front desk even clean the suitcases’ wheels for us before guiding us to the room. The food and services were excellent. Especially with the food, they are very careful with the preparation, since we have some food restrictions. It is also close to Yamadera. Therefore, I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a place to spend the night near Yamadera.

The property was very luxurious, clean and just very comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and tried to accommodate with what ever I needed. Even with the language barrier they did everything exceptionally without any issues. The food was amazing also. The dinners especially were one of the major highlights for me. I tried so many new dishes and they all tasted amazing. Being locally sourced also made if that more delicious. The room was also amazing as I had my own private onsen.

It was a luxury ryokan experience at a very affordable price point. The baths were really nice, and there was a complementary option to book one private bath stance. The room was way spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was top notch. Great experience overall, and very nice as a relaxing spot after touring around Japan.

Everything about our stay was wonderful! Every staff member was incredibly kind and helpful. The onsen is lovely, food is excellent with local wines and sake available, and great shuttle service which made our transit to and from nearby Zao onsen easy. It was our most memorable stay in Japan!

I loved that they had designated times that you could interact with the property manager (which was a cat). I also really enjoyed the traditional Japanese experience, my room felt like I was walking into an olden day Japanese castle. The dining experience was also exceptional. It felt very homey and overall was an amazing experience worth the price paid.

For the price I paid, the quality of food exceeds expectation so were the hot springs. My only grouse is the pillows were not the traditional buck wheat pillows I expected. Meals were served in the room which has a separate sitting and dining area from the bed room. The Yonezawa beef came with a price but it is well worth paying for. A very nice 2-day stay.

Location was within Onogawa, which was a quaint little town perfect to walk around in spring weather. A bit difficult to access Yonezawa city, but good if you only want to experience Onogawa. Staff was extremely thorough in explaining the facilities and things to do around the area.

The private onsen in the room is amazing! The window can be fully opened and we enjoy the mountain view and fresh air so much. Tachibahana location is great too. We can take a pleasant walk along the Atsui river and experience the mountain village life.
