Kaminoyama Onsen × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

From arrival to departure, the staff provided attentive and thoughtful service throughout. My plans before check-in took longer than expected and I arrived late for my spa appointment, but they kindly adjusted the schedule for me. The spa was wonderfully relaxing, and I was able to unwind. Dinner in the room was a delight for both the eyes and the palate, making full use of seasonal flavors and local ingredients. The bath I had been looking forward to met my expectations, and the open-air bath in the room felt refreshing; I also enjoyed it at a leisurely pace in the morning. They were truly supportive with everything, including arranging a taxi and advising on our next sightseeing plans. I would love to visit again when I have the chance.

I was very satisfied with the newly renovated room. The fresh scent of new tatami was especially pleasant. The meal also came with a careful explanation and was very satisfying—especially the sukiyaki beef, which was more generous than I expected. The free drinks were a pleasant surprise as well. Breakfast was delicious, too. Of course the hot springs were great, and the large public bath was spacious and relaxing—completely satisfying. I enjoyed three baths in total: before dinner, after dinner, and in the morning—it couldn’t have been better. I would definitely like to stay again if I have the chance.

In any case, I was able to relax and fully enjoy this hot spring inn. I made the most of the all-inclusive plan by rotating between hot springs and beer. The beer (including craft), wine, and sake were all delicious, with great local selections from Yamagata. The staff were also friendly and helpful with warm smiles. When I want to unwind in the hot springs again, I’d love to stay here again. Thank you very much.

The service was courteous, and the meals were excellent. I especially enjoyed the simple yet Western-style pot-au-feu and would love to have it again. The bath was also very good (I soaked four times). As someone who usually stays at Business Hotels, this reminded me how great an Onsen Accommodation can be.

The staff were wonderful, and the Facility was kept very clean, making for a truly comfortable stay. The drink service and dinner were excellent, and most importantly, the Onsen was outstanding and very relaxing. Thank you very much. I will definitely visit again!

We stayed at Kaminoyama Onsen Hayamakan for one night from September 22. Although the building is old, it was thoroughly cleaned down to every corner, making it a very pleasant place to stay. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious—we were truly impressed. At dinner, the staff member who assisted us was a beginner from Nepal, but she explained everything with a smile and was very kind and welcoming. If I could make one suggestion: we couldn’t find the large public bath on the 3rd floor and ended up walking back and forth. It felt like a hidden room, which was interesting, but adding a noren curtain might make it easier to spot. There were five of us (all men), and everyone said with a smile that it was truly a great inn. Each of us would like to come back again with our families. Thank you very much.

We stayed for two nights on an all-inclusive plan. Alcohol was all-you-can-drink from right after check-in, and we were allowed to take drinks back to our room, which made it feel very relaxed and flexible. Both dinner and breakfast included unlimited alcohol, and both the private bath and the large public bath were excellent. Since it was during Silver Week in September, the room rate was a bit higher, but it’s still a hotel that made us want to come back.

It’s conveniently located for sightseeing, and the spacious Room is a real highlight. Even though it’s a tatami-style Room, the chairs and table are set at a comfortable height, making it perfect for getting work done on a business trip! The bath was wonderfully warming as well. Among the private baths available, the open-air bath with the best view is on the rooftop. Since there is no indoor bath, it may be quite challenging to use in winter—it takes some courage. That said, it offers a beautiful snowy-view bath experience. I think it has its own charm that’s different from summer scenery.

We were very satisfied with both the Facility and the meals. In particular, we were truly impressed by the wonderful thoughtfulness of all the staff—those at the front desk, those who served our meals, those who saw us off at the entrance, and those who kept the property clean. Thanks to you, it was a wonderful trip and we are very grateful. Thank you very much.
