Nam Dewa Station × Hot spring × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

We stayed in a Room with a private Onsen. We also used the large public bath, and since there are only a few Rooms, we were able to enjoy it privately. I couldn’t tell the difference between the two hot spring sources, but the water was soft and the temperature was just right. In any case, the garden is wonderful. Although Tendo Onsen is located in town, it’s in a calm setting where you can hear cicadas. And the food is outstanding—no typical “just to increase the number of dishes” meals; instead, you can enjoy local and seasonal ingredients prepared with care and served with refined flavors. They also have an excellent selection of Dewazakura sake. I stay at various Accommodations for work, and among those that fit our budget and lifestyle, this is one of the very best. We’d love to stay again.

During the Obon holidays, my daughter and her husband came back home with our grandchild, and we stayed here. It’s a Hotel specialized for children, and our grandchild was absolutely delighted. With the all-inclusive plan, we fully enjoyed both alcoholic and soft drinks. The meals were buffet-style, which made my daughters very happy as well. We also enjoyed the late-night snacks. We stayed in Room “Casual 10,” and since there are only two Rooms on the 8th floor, it was very spacious and cute. Everyone loved it—our grandchild especially—and kept saying how wonderful it was! The baths were also great; we were able to use both a private bath and the large public bath. Everyone was extremely satisfied. Thank you very much.

From the welcome pineapple cider, beer, and simmered yam konnyaku to a feast of Yamagata specialties, we were completely full! Dinner was served in beautiful dishes that made everything even more appetizing. The post-bath lounge had a wonderful atmosphere, the massage chairs were very comfortable, and we really appreciated the complimentary drinks and snacks. Of course, the baths were spacious and very relaxing! In the morning, the breakfast ramen was delicious. I chose rice porridge instead, and with so many side dishes I was very satisfied. The watermelon was sweet and tasty too.

The garden was magnificent. The bath was also an Onsen that warmed us to the core, and the meals were very delicious. We would definitely like to stay again. The cake included with the anniversary Plan was exceptionally good, and enjoying it with the complimentary coffee made for a truly happy time.

All the meals were delicious, and the Onsen was wonderful. The Room and bath areas were kept very clean, so we had a very comfortable stay. The amenities were well provided and really helpful. There was bottled water in the Room refrigerator, and there was also a lounge where you can freely enjoy soft drinks; we had coffee after dinner as well. The Japanese garden in the courtyard was also beautiful. We could choose our favorite yukata, which made us feel even more excited. All the staff were kind and helpful. There were lots of cute cat-themed items in the lobby, hallways, and lounge, which was very soothing. We were able to relax at a leisurely pace. There was a roadside station and a supermarket nearby, so the location was convenient as well. It was such a lovely Accommodation that we would love to stay again. Thank you very much!

From check-in to departure, we received warm, unpretentious hospitality. The meals were especially wonderful, and we were able to fully enjoy the seasonal flavors. The staff were friendly and cheerful in a natural way, making the stay enjoyable with their explanations of the dishes and leaving us feeling truly welcomed.

The large public bath is available from 5:30 a.m. to midnight, so I was able to enjoy the Onsen many times at different hours. Both dinner and breakfast were nourishing and truly delicious. Ryokan meals can sometimes be heavily seasoned, but here nothing was surprisingly salty, and I enjoyed everything. In the guest lounge, there were treats like dadacha-mame ice cream and Onsen manju, plus DIY Onsen eggs—these little services were a lot of fun. I also appreciated that soft drinks were unlimited. The garden is lovely, and there are also amenities like spa treatments, table tennis, and a large shogi board, so there’s plenty to enjoy inside as well. I had a luxurious time soaking in the Onsen, enjoying great food, and relaxing at the Accommodation. I would definitely love to visit again.

This was my first stay at an all-inclusive Hotel. With unlimited craft beer from 15:00, sauna access from 17:00, and a course dinner from 19:00, I had a very fulfilling time. *The sauna requires a separate Reservation! Services such as the lounge and soba are available until 22:00, so I highly recommend it as an all-inclusive Hotel. I would love to stay again.

The breakfast was delicious, and we were very satisfied. We had no complaints about the Facility or anything else. If we have the opportunity, we would like to stay again.

There is only one elevator, which can cause some congestion during the morning and evening hours. Other than that, there are no issues at all.

When sightseeing in Yamagata, we stay at Symphony. Once again, the food was outstanding. The dishes are very thoughtfully crafted—the way the ingredients are brought out and seasoned is impressive. The combinations of items in the dinner course were also excellent. Each time, we can enjoy different dishes, and it feels like they are always evolving. We were also happy to have a wide variety of vegetables at breakfast.

I stayed for two nights during my first visit to Yamagata. The location is not too far from the station, and while the room is old, it was clean and well-maintained. The ability to separate the two rooms made it very comfortable as I didn’t have to worry about noise or snoring from others. The Onsen is small but sufficient, with a monitor showing how crowded it is. However, I did notice that the air conditioner in the changing room was quite dusty, which was concerning. The breakfast had just the right portions and was delicious—I especially enjoyed having imoni (a local dish). I would definitely stay here again when visiting Yamagata!

It can be hard to find even with a car navigation system, but as you get closer there are small directional signs posted along the roadside. There are several town-run sports facilities nearby, which should help as landmarks. At the entrance, you put your shoes in a locked shoe locker, and from the moment I entered the Facility it felt very clean. Many guests seemed to be using it like a public bath with their families. The indoor bath has both a hotter and a lukewarm tub; most people were in the lukewarm one, so it was crowded. On the other hand, once you get used to the hotter tub, you can relax and stretch out at your leisure with it almost all to yourself. The open-air bath consists of two barrel baths about 2 meters in diameter, set on an upper and lower level. Our Room had a train view and faced the back side of the Facility, but trains pass only once every 30 minutes and you hear just about five seconds of rumbling each time, so it didn’t bother us much. From the window you can see the train tracks and Mt. Gassan in the distance, making it easy to unwind. I enjoyed Onsen three times—at dusk, before bed, and at daybreak—and was able to rest quietly and recover at a relaxed pace.

We stayed here for our first family trip. Tendo was a wonderful place, and thanks to the Room and baths at Sakaeya Hotel, we had a very enjoyable trip. Thank you very much.

The Onsen was excellent. Reasonably priced and the meals were decent, it's a Hotel I would like to visit again.
