We stayed in the Kids Terrace Room with our children during summer vacation. They were thrilled with the bunk beds and the tent. Best of all, the terrace connects directly to the lawn area, so we could relax on the terrace while watching them play. They enjoyed experiences that are hard to find in the city, like driving RC carts on the grass, feeding ponies, and playing with water guns. The meals were also excellent, with many dishes featuring local ingredients. The late-night tantan noodles and complimentary ice cream after a bath were wonderful touches. The Facility had been renovated and felt new inside, making our stay very comfortable. Even after returning home, our kids still say they want to stay again. We’d love to visit again when we have the chance.

This Hotel mainly caters to guests with No Meals Included plans, but the Rooms are clean and comfortable. The lounge has a coffee machine, tea bags, a microwave, and plastic wrap, so you can prepare a simple meal. About a 3-minute walk away, there is a roadside station and a bathing Facility; from 8:30 a.m., you can also enjoy a morning set meal and buy freshly baked bread. This Hotel offers excellent value for money.

Perfect for exploring Sera Town. The interior design and landscaping were lovely, making the stay very comfortable. The breakfast box is highly recommended as it provides a satisfying start to the day, but warming up items purchased from roadside stations or other shops is also a great option. Both choices have their own charm!

I traveled with my son, and we were completely satisfied with the hospitality. If you have time, there seem to be various activities you can enjoy after check-in. (We checked in after 5:00 p.m., so we didn’t use them.) The restaurant food was excellent. It’s a buffet, but it covers most of Yamagata’s local specialties. The main dish—wood-fired Zao beef—really lets you taste the meat’s natural flavor, and it pairs perfectly with red wine. All-you-can-drink wine from Takeda Winery and Woody Farm was included, which was amazing. Even beer (Asahi and Heartland) was all-you-can-drink—what a surprise. Next time, I’d like to stay with my whole family. Thank you very much!

I stayed the night before visiting a grave on the equinox holiday, and I truly appreciate your courteous assistance despite my late-night check-in. I stayed in the West Wing; you briefly have to go outside when using the passageway from the main building, so it was a bit cold, but acceptable. The Room was clean and a good size, and the soundproofing was excellent—although my Room faced the road, it was quiet and comfortable. The large public bath was also pleasant, though it is not a natural Onsen. Breakfast was enjoyable as well for a Business Hotel buffet. If I had to mention one drawback, it was that the parking area was hard to find. I used a lot a short distance away as instructed by the Hotel, but it seemed like there might also be parking behind the Hotel... Since it was still quite cold, I would have preferred to park as close to the Hotel as possible.

Both the meals and the Onsen were excellent. During our one-night, two-day stay, we were able to relax and unwind. The carefully prepared meals were delicious, and the portions were just right—we finished everything without leaving any. The Onsen was available 24 hours a day, and the gentle water left our skin feeling smooth. It was an Accommodation we would love to visit again. The only reason I rated the Facility 4 out of 5 was that there weren’t enough power outlets in the Room, so we had to take turns charging our phones.

I stayed for three nights for a mountain-climbing trip. The staff’s hospitality, the cleanliness of the Accommodation, and the quality and taste of the meals all exceeded my expectations. Everyone on the staff was especially pleasant, and it really reminded me that what makes an Accommodation great is its people. I would love to stay again next time. Thank you very much.

From arrival onward, everything was pleasant! They kindly accommodated all of our requests. The Room was clean, and with the toilet and bath separate, it felt spacious and relaxing overall. Having parking right in front of the Accommodation is rare in Ikaho, so that was a big plus. There wasn’t one particular standout dish, but everything was tasty and we ate until we were full. For this price, being able to stay so comfortably felt like an excellent value. Next time, I’d love to come again with my whole family.

I love Onsen and have stayed at many Accommodations across the whole country, including luxury Ryokan, but Koguriyama Sanso stands out for its deeply satisfying meals, the best Onsen where you can always soak in peace and relaxation, the wonderful view from the window, and the quiet, luxurious time surrounded by nature—along with the hostess’s bright and welcoming personality. It is a memorable place I want to visit again even if it’s far away. Whether you’re traveling solo, with family, or in a group, I highly recommend this Accommodation for warmly welcoming everyone.

We were very satisfied with the views, the meals, and the staff’s service. Cold water was available before and after bathing, and the Room was kept very clean. There were some insects floating in the open-air bath, but that is to be expected at an Accommodation in the mountains; anyone who complains about it has forgotten that they are in nature. We would like to stay again.

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days with two adults and two children. The Room was clean and spacious enough for four people. There was also a hammock and an attached bath, so the kids had a great time. I didn’t use it myself, but there was a powder room by the toilet, which I think would be very convenient for young women. Above all, the meals were delicious and generous in portion size—breakfast was more than we could finish. Since we stayed two nights, they also changed the menu slightly, which we really appreciated. Thank you very much.

This was my third stay. In the super-hot sauna for 5 minutes, the freezing cold mineral spring for 5 minutes, then a 5-minute rest. Doing this for 3–5 sets feels amazing. After that, I enjoyed a delicious dinner and slept soundly. The next morning, I had breakfast and did the sauna, mineral spring, and rest again—perfectly refreshed. It was fantastic. The Accommodation had a strong retro Showa-era vibe. Don’t forget a thick sauna hat!

We stayed here for a family trip. The parking space was spacious, the Room was new, and there was no unpleasant detergent smell typical of Business Hotels, making our stay comfortable. The sink could have been a bit larger to accommodate toiletries for two people, but it was within an acceptable range. We didn't use the coffee area on the first floor, but it seemed convenient when bringing in breakfast. This Hotel is recommended for trips exploring places like Nikko by rental car.

The renovated traditional building offers a modern Japanese-style Ryokan with friendly and helpful staff. The Onsen is available as a private bath, and you can use it anytime if it's vacant. There are three baths, each supposedly at different temperatures, but they all seemed to be the same temperature and quite hot. The much-talked-about breakfast was also delicious.

We stayed with our 2-year-old child. As I was pregnant, we chose this Hotel because it seemed conveniently located near Nara Park, and we booked a stay with meals included. Dinner was delicious and so generous that we couldn’t finish it. For our 2-year-old, they brought plain rice and furikake first, which made it easy to feed our child. Breakfast was a bit lighter and didn’t quite leave us completely full, but if you plan to eat while sightseeing, it felt just right. It may be a little too light for men. The complimentary water was very helpful. However, it was a large bottle (1.5L? 2L?), so we finished it at the Hotel. There is a 700-yen parking subsidy. Parking near the Hotel often costs over 1,000 yen, but we found a parking lot a little farther away where we could park for 700 yen and used that instead. The Hotel itself is somewhat old, but it was kept very clean, and the staff were kind and helpful.

We stayed for a maternity trip, and the staff helped us with a gender reveal surprise, which turned out to be a great success. It was truly two days of happiness. Thank you for creating memories that will last a lifetime. The food, room, and service were all excellent.

Everything was kept very clean, and it was truly comfortable. The milky white sulfur hot spring bath was also outstanding. Above all, the landlady’s cooking deserves special mention for how delicious it is. Even now that I’m back home, I can’t get the clear highland air, the breathtaking views of Mt. Norikura, and the star-filled sky that felt within reach from the open-air bath out of my mind. Thank you very much. I will definitely come again.

I had visited for a day-use bath before, and the water quality and scenery stayed with me, so I decided to stay overnight. All of the dishes were delicious, and I finished everything. The char had no strong taste and was wonderful—enjoying it prepared in various ways was a real treat. I was completely full. The Accommodation felt like coming back to my family home in the countryside—comfortable, quiet, and relaxing. With such clear air and few streetlights, the night sky was filled with beautiful stars. The open-air bath overlooking fresh greenery was outstanding.

I stayed here with my 10 kg dog. In front of the lodge, there is a beautiful grassy lawn where we could enjoy a relaxing walk. The Room is simple, with no refrigerator, TV, or toilet. However, it was kept very clean and we were able to rest comfortably. Wi-Fi is available, so there’s no problem if you bring a tablet. This is not a Hotel with every amenity—it's a mountain lodge—so you need to understand that. For dinner, we enjoyed a BBQ on the outdoor terrace with friends. I was worried insects might come around, but it turned out to be an unnecessary concern. The BBQ portions were generous—almost too much for women. Since the meat pieces are large, it would be helpful if scissors could be provided. Next time, I’d like to try the French course meal. The bath was disappointing because of an issue with the Onsen supply piping, but the tub was spacious and relaxing. Above all, being able to travel with my dog made this trip truly enjoyable—thank you for giving us that opportunity. I would love to visit again m(_ _)m

Used a private Room. The minimal services made it easy and comfortable to stay without any fuss. I’d like to stay here again when I’m in the area.
