Notice of Elevator Renovation (Replacement) Work at Taikanso
Thank you very much for your continued patronage of Gero Onsen Yamagataya.
To ensure our guests can stay with us safely and comfortably, we will be carrying out renovation (replacement) work on the “Taikanso Elevator” during the period below.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. This work is necessary to maintain a safe and secure environment for all guests, and we kindly ask for your understanding.
Taikanso has two elevators, and the work will be carried out one at a time, so the other elevator will remain available. (Please note that there will be two nights when both elevators will be completely out of service late at night.)
However, operating with only one elevator may result in longer waiting times.
During the construction period, you may also notice some noise and increased movement of construction personnel. We will prioritize guest safety and continue striving to improve our hospitality, and we appreciate your kind understanding and cooperation.
- Construction period: Scheduled from Tuesday, November 24, 2026 to Thursday, December 17, 2026
* Dates/times when both elevators will be stopped: From 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. on November 25 (starting at 1:00 a.m. on November 25) and from 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. on December 11
During these complete shutdown hours, guests staying on Taikanso floors 9–11 are asked to use the stairs.
Guests staying on Taikanso floors 5–8 should use the neighboring “Togawakaku” elevator. (Please note it does not go to Taikanso’s second floor.)
* Guests staying on Taikanso floors 5–8 are asked to also use the Togawakaku elevator during this period.
* Please understand that protective coverings such as walls or fencing may affect appearance.
* Work that produces louder noise is scheduled between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., but some construction noise may still be heard at other times.
- The schedule may change depending on weather or work conditions.
