Tsuruya

Yamagata Prefecture／Tendo Onsen
¥35,200～
No meals ; 2 peopleTax included¥30,624〜
(USD 191.95)

An accommodation with a corridor surrounding a Japanese garden and tatami flooring throughout the entire facility.

Tsuruya is an Accommodation with tatami flooring throughout. As the tea ceremony flourished from the Azuchi–Momoyama period onward, tatami came to cover entire Rooms, and Japanese people began sitting in seiza. Beyond tea ceremony, many Japanese arts ending in “-do”—such as calligraphy, flower arrangement, and judo—are deeply connected to tatami, which is considered a foundation that helped shape the Japanese spirit. Space, cuisine, and hospitality—this is what a Ryokan offers as it embraces the beauty of Japan’s four seasons in every detail. Step inside and, even on your first visit, you may feel a nostalgic calm and a special sense of comfort. The interior features corridors built around a Japanese garden, allowing you to enjoy garden views from many points throughout. Please savor the feel of tatami under bare feet or socks and spend a relaxing moment at your leisure.

  • We enjoyed the Onsen in a guest room with an open-air bath.

    Although it is located in the city center, it was quiet, and we fully enjoyed the Onsen in the open-air bath attached to our Room. Meals were served in a private dining area directly connected to the Room; it can be locked, and during service it is separated from the guest Room, so our privacy was protected and we could relax with peace of mind. The food was also very delicious.

  • A comfortable Room for a pleasant stay

    My first trip to Yamagata. This is a Ryokan with a long history, and I stayed in a beautifully renovated Room. Two king beds side by side, two sinks, and an adjacent dining area. The semi-open-air bath was also very comfortable. It was a perfect Room with nothing to complain about. The meals were all satisfying, including local specialties. I’m also grateful for the warm hospitality from all the staff.However, summer is indeed hot. It’s become a place I’d like to visit again in a better season.

You can stay.
The entire Ryokan is covered with tatami flooring, which may make small children want to run around. As this is a quiet and small Ryokan with a wooden single-story structure and partial two-story sections, running or making noise can echo significantly. We kindly ask for your consideration to avoid disturbing other guests.
