A nine-room auberge where you can savor the flavors of Zao through fine cuisine and soothing hot springs.
Bettei Yamabuki offers a quality time and special attention for those who wish to relax without a watch. Yamabuki is filled with the joy of becoming one with nature, awaiting the ultimate happiness for adults.
I stayed here again for the first time in five years.The food and service felt much improved, which was a pleasant surprise.For example, the rice at breakfast was excellent—among the best I’ve had in Yamagata.I also enjoyed chatting with the staff and had a great time.I’d like to visit again soon.
akieast 5/23/2026I stayed on a weekday right after the Golden Week holidays.I was completely satisfied with the meals, and also very satisfied with the staff’s service and hospitality.Since there are only a few guest rooms, I hardly ran into other guests, and I could enjoy the Onsen as well—so I was very satisfied. In fact, because no one was around, it almost felt a bit scary at night (in a funny way).The building is somewhat old in places, but it was properly cleaned, and it felt like a pleasant space filled with nice scents throughout.If there is one thing that could be improved, it would be that the tables during meals are quite close together, so I could hear all of other guests’ conversations.Rather than seating everyone tightly by the window with the great view, I would have preferred to sit with a comfortable amount of space between tables.Also, I thought it would be nice to have a few more drink options available in the lounge.That said, the in-room amenities were well stocked and it was an ideal Accommodation for relaxing at ease, so I will definitely stay again next time.The souvenir bread was delicious too.
