Hotels met 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.

とても立地がよくサービスも充実したホテルだと思います。が山形駅から徒歩20〜30分はかかるので歩くのしんどい人はタクシーをお勧めします。 観光しながら街ブラして〜ってやってたらあっという間に着くぐらいの距離なのでそこは心配なく。 後一階に温泉があり夜の時間が0時までなので夜風呂入りたい人は帰ってくる時間によっては入り損ねる可能性が少しだけあります。もちろん部屋にいつものシャワールームやバスタブがあるのでそこで洗うことも可能です。 加えて朝風呂は6時〜10時までなのでゆっくり入っても問題ないです。温泉もあるのでまた行きたいと思えるとてもいいホテルでした。また一階にローソンもあるので食事を買いつつ部屋でくつろぐなんてこともできます。

設施比較懷舊。員工服務很好。我晚了40分鐘check in，還是好熱情地招待我並上菜。服務時看我不會日文，細心用translate翻譯成了英文。溫泉非常舒服，客人很少地方很夠，非常寫意。裡面挺多有意思的小活動，但我最想用的都休止了或沒提供，包括岩盤浴和咖啡機。小後花院有點意思但太小了。不過櫻花開始開了，很開心。

시설은 오래 된 것 같습니다. 그렇지만, 그런게 좋아서 이 호텔이 간거니 문제되지 않습니다. 가미노야마 온천역에서 호텔측이 픽업 샌딩을 모두 해줍니다. 라인을 통해서 예약을 하면 됩니다. 호텔 직원이 가미노야마온천역에서 일본어로 쓰인 호텔의 종이를 들고 있습니다. 식사는 우수하며, 아침에는 야마가타규동이 제공됩니다

山形湯治でシングル利用、満室とのことで宴会会場ほどある部屋の割り当て、大浴場近くで良かったです。朝食美味しいです。

This is a very nice hotel. Loved every corner of it. A bit old. But the service and location makes it a nice place to stay. Near shinjo station by bus 20 minutes. It’s a good place to stay if you are going to ginzan onsen. They have shuttle bus to shinjo station from the hotel. They have izakaya inside of the hotel. Staff is great and helpful. We totally recommend it to stay. Awesome views

大友屋的一切都太美好啦，小小的溫泉區逛累了就回家休息，有超級美味的晚餐和早餐，舒服的溫泉，工作人員體貼、用心的這個我們。每個空間都有大窗戶可以看到雪景，在那邊的3天兩夜實在是無比的愜意。

Onsen is quite good and the service is good. This is a very traditional onsen hotel and worth to try and hotel. Tasty beef for dinner.

食事がとても美味しかったです。 お風呂もとても気持ちがいいお風呂でした。また、行きたいと思いました。おかみさんの人柄もとてもいい方でした。 それから、絵画、銅像など館内一面に飾られてステキな旅館でした。

Rooms are a bit old-fashioned but in good condition. Spacious. Indoor and outdoor onsen available with limited facilities. Location is excellent, less than 10mins walk from the Tsuruoka station and is connected to a shopping mall and a big bus station. Not much restaurants around. Breakfast provided from hotel restaurant but dinner requires prior booking. A supermarket and convenience store are within 5-10mins walk.
