Nam Dewa Station × Flower-Viewing AccommodationHighly rated for customer service and hospitality at Hotel·Ryokan

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.

We stayed here before and returned a few years later, and it was still a wonderful Accommodation. The property was clean, the food was excellent, and the staff were very attentive.

We stayed in the detached “Rijin-kyo” villa. Beautiful paintings and decorative pieces were displayed throughout the property, and simply looking at them was a delight. The Room was nothing like today’s typical “Japanese-modern” style; instead, we were able to fully appreciate refined Japanese aesthetics. At the same time, we were impressed by the thoughtful touches everywhere that made our stay so comfortable. Gazing at the meticulously maintained garden from the veranda felt as if my mind was being cleansed. The cuisine was also full of seasonal character, and each dish moved us again and again with both its flavor and presentation. Our room attendant provided truly exceptional hospitality, and her subtle attentiveness was deeply soothing. The semi-open-air bath in the Room was very comfortable, allowing us to relax and enjoy the Onsen while looking out over the garden. It was a stay that made us sincerely glad we had chosen this Accommodation. As I noted in the title, it felt like a Ryokan where staying here becomes the purpose of your trip. We are grateful to Tendo-so for giving us such a wonderful time that enriched our hearts. We would love to return in another season. Thank you very much.

Headed straight from Yamagata Station to the Hotel. Enjoyed a lunch buffet at La Seine, the restaurant on the 1st floor of the Hotel. I ended up eating too much, and it was over 30°C outside. I considered waiting in front of the front desk until check-in, but there were artworks on display throughout the building—sculptures and paintings from Japan and abroad—so my time passed pleasantly and productively. As a long-established Hotel, you can feel its heritage in the paintings displayed in the Room, yet areas such as the bathroom are well maintained and felt fresh and new. It was a relaxing guest Room.

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.

I came for work in a large vehicle and stayed here for the first time. The building is not new, but it is spacious, and the Room, unit bath, and toilet were extremely clean and comfortable. I would have found it easier to work if the Room lighting had been a bit brighter.
