An Accommodation nestled in the rural landscape, where you can enjoy a Japanese garden that reflects all four seasons and natural hot spring baths with free-flowing source water.
Sanso Rai Mikiya is a single-story retreat that blends into the surrounding countryside, where time flows at an unhurried pace. Rebranded and reopened in January 2020, it welcomes you as a peaceful rural Accommodation that brings out the true beauty of life in Yamagata. Savor meals featuring “satoyama harvests” from our own garden and rice fields, unwind in free-flowing hot spring baths, and spend a relaxing stay in traditional Japanese spaces that invite you to slow down and follow your heart. We look forward to welcoming you to an irreplaceable stay—one that may bring back something you had almost forgotten.
Because we moved our trip home forward at short notice, we ended up making a Reservation the day before. From welcome to farewell, everyone at the Accommodation greeted us with warm smiles throughout. The meals—both dinner and breakfast—were just the right portions for us as a couple in our 60s, and everything was delicious. We especially enjoyed the local cuisine, steak, local sake, and local wine—it was wonderful. The younger staff also chatted with us while explaining the dishes, and our Room was quiet and relaxing, making it a great memory.If I had to mention anything, it would be nice to have two Room keys, and I would have preferred a lighter down comforter.Thank you very much.
アラリー 8/10/2026We stayed in a connecting suite with our large family. The Room also had a private open-air bath, which the children loved. A wide variety of drinks could be ordered for free, so we ended up having a bit too much. The view from the open-air bath—fresh green mountains and the countryside spreading out below—was truly soothing. We would love to stay here again on our next trip.
