A relaxing journey with Shogi, Onsen, and the essence of cherries.
The property along National Route 13 is ideal for business and leisure. All rooms are equipped with LAN connectivity and shower toilets. Experience the air of Tendo and take a deep breath under the blue sky. You can enjoy the air, said to taste as good as cherries. The property offers 73 rooms, catering to various needs with single, semi-double, double, and twin room options.
I stayed here for a one-night trip to Tendo. Perhaps because of the construction for a newly built large public bath, I was able to stay at a very reasonable price in the 3,000-yen range per night.After reading the Reviews, I felt many were quite harsh, but honestly the standards seem too strict—I didn’t find those points particularly bothersome.At the front desk, everything was explained very politely, including what to do with the key when going out, which left a good impression.I heard it used to be Tendo Rich Hotel and has since become Livemax; while it is an older Hotel, renovations have been done.I chose a No Meals Included Plan, but there are restaurants along the road nearby, so having dinner and breakfast there works well. There isn’t a convenience store within walking distance, so you’ll need to drive.Regarding the bathtub: there is nearly a 20 cm step up from the Room floor into the bathroom area, so please be careful. With unit baths this is unavoidable due to plumbing underneath. As for shower temperature, mixing hot and cold about half-and-half felt comfortable. Using only one side sometimes resulted in only cold water coming out, making temperature control difficult. This may be fine in warm weather but could be tough in colder seasons. Given how many requests there seem to be about bathrooms, that’s probably why they decided to build a large public bath.For the air conditioner in the Room, around 20°C felt comfortable. The highest outdoor temperature during my stay was 28°C. The key is not linked to power or air conditioning controls, so even when I went out the Room did not heat up.The TV supported online streaming services; being able to watch movies was nice.Wi‑Fi is 5 GHz only and may not work on some laptops. Bringing a LAN cable or using smartphone tethering is essential.Having a microwave in the Room is convenient. The refrigerator is fairly spacious and can store drinks easily.There are two pillows—one firm and one soft—and I slept very well. Because it’s by the road you can hear traffic noise somewhat, but noise from neighboring Rooms didn’t bother me.Overall I was satisfied. It’s probably best not to worry too much about harsh comments about this Business Hotel. I had a relaxing time here. If I have another chance after the new large public bath opens, I’d like to stay again and try it out.
Yahoo!トラベルユー... 5/30/2026The building is not new, but it is clean and well-maintained, and there is a microwave in the Room, making it convenient for those with packed meals.

Introduction of the Accommodation
Joy descends upon Tendō.
A place where it feels like a celestial child might descend from the heavens. Welcome to Tendo, the land of hot springs and Japan's finest shogi pieces. Feel the tension as you focus your mind for a match, or let your body relax in the soothing steam of the hot springs. Take a deep breath under the vast blue sky. The air in Tendo carries the flavor of cherries—gently sweet, nostalgically tart. Who knew traveling could be this delicious? Welcome to Tendo, welcome to Oku no Hosomichi (The Narrow Road to the Deep North).
Each deep breath brings relaxation.
History, seasonal blessings, and Onsen, nestled in a city rich in human warmth, "Tendo Rich Hotel." Approximately 8 minutes by car from Yamagata Airport and right next to Tendo Station. It is an ideal base for sightseeing as well as business access. Try composing a haiku like Basho or playing shogi. Relaxation is born with every deep breath. The room theme is chic and quality-focused. The longer you stay, the more you will feel the comfort and convenience.
