나카가와역 (야마가타현) × 만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I enjoyed exceptional cuisine and the Onsen at this small luxury Accommodation. The staff’s warm, attentive hospitality, the well-appointed Facilities and amenities, and the beautiful selection of tableware by Kyoto artisans all made for a wonderful holiday.

Just before our stay, the open-air bath in the large public bath became unavailable due to construction. As an apology, our Room was upgraded—an extremely appreciated and thoughtful gesture! We had a similar incident at another ryokan before (name withheld), where they tried to smooth it over by simply upgrading the welcome sweets, which left us dissatisfied. This time, however, we had no complaints at all. Our 4-year-old daughter is quite picky and we often struggle with meals, but when we asked if she could have grilled fish instead of a hamburger steak, they served herb-seasoned ayu sweetfish. She loved it and finished an entire fish in no time. The adults also found everything delicious—we finished every dish! Overall, the service and hospitality were excellent. Our daughter was very happy and said she wants to come again. Because we couldn’t use the open-air bath, that part is 4 stars; everything else is perfect.

This is my fourth stay, and each time has been better than the last. In addition to the exceptional hospitality each staff member shows to every guest, you can also feel their dedication to continually improving the Accommodation, and I discover something new with every visit. I’m always grateful for the irreplaceable time I get to spend here—something I can only experience at Takinami. Next time will be in autumn. Thank you in advance.

The staff’s service and the overall atmosphere were even better than the last time we stayed! Watching the fire in the fireplace… and the outdoor bonfire, like a campfire, was especially memorable. The bath was also very relaxing, and above all, we were able to unwind without worrying about time. Thank you very much.

I’m a repeat guest. At the festival, the shaved ice, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, edamame, and konjac were all very delicious. The draft beer tasted exceptionally good. Since meals were served in the Room, I was able to dine in a relaxed atmosphere. Two different types of rice were served, so I could compare them—both were delicious. Next time, I’d like to stay in a different Room.

I stayed here as an Accommodation while traveling with my parent in their 80s. The building is a bit old, and the stairs are somewhat steep. The staff service, meals, and Onsen were excellent. My parent was very happy as well. If I have the chance to visit again, I would definitely like to stay here.

We chose the assigned Room, and it was spacious and very comfortable. The staff were extremely courteous, offering us drinks and even taking photos for us after checkout, which made us feel truly welcomed. As part of the Accommodation was under renovation, they apologized for any inconvenience and even gave us some sweets. We would definitely like to stay again.

I came to Yamagata for the first time because I wanted to stay here. Since it’s in the middle of town, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but once inside, it felt like a different world. It was quiet and relaxing, with a real sense of nature. The Room was wonderful—so spacious that it almost felt too big for two people—but we could truly unwind as if we were staying at a private villa. The Onsen water quality was also excellent and incredibly soothing. Above all, dinner was absolutely delicious and genuinely moving. Of course the chef’s skill is outstanding, but it also reminded me just how rich Yamagata’s food culture is. Because dinner is served at the counter in small numbers, it was great to hear directly from the chef, and it left a very positive impression to see how kind and close-knit the staff were. It was such an enjoyable dinner. I was a little surprised when the president came around to greet us. I also heard that at Takinami next door he makes soba every day for dinner—I’d love to try that someday as well. What a wonderful person. Although this is a luxury Accommodation, it also feels warm and welcoming—an extremely comfortable place to stay. I’d love to visit again in another season someday.

It was a very relaxing Accommodation. Although the building has a sense of history, it was thoroughly cleaned and well maintained, so we enjoyed a very comfortable stay. The staff kindly accommodated many of our requests, and we truly appreciate it. Of course, the service was excellent! The meals were also delicious, including Yonezawa beef filet steak and shabu-shabu. The semi-open-air bath in the Room was supplied with natural hot spring water, and the quality of the water was wonderful. It is an Accommodation that made us want to come back for a Multiple Night Stay.

Because we moved our trip home forward at short notice, we ended up making a Reservation the day before. From welcome to farewell, everyone at the Accommodation greeted us with warm smiles throughout. The meals—both dinner and breakfast—were just the right portions for us as a couple in our 60s, and everything was delicious. We especially enjoyed the local cuisine, steak, local sake, and local wine—it was wonderful. The younger staff also chatted with us while explaining the dishes, and our Room was quiet and relaxing, making it a great memory. If I had to mention anything, it would be nice to have two Room keys, and I would have preferred a lighter down comforter. Thank you very much.

I booked dinner mainly for the beef sukiyaki, but every other dish was delicious as well. Breakfast was also great, and I had an extra serving of rice. I also appreciated the complimentary coffee. Both dinner and breakfast were generous portions, and I was very satisfied. The Room is a bit old, but it is clean and comfortable. There is no toilet in the Room, but there is a sink, so it didn’t feel inconvenient. The bath was relaxing too. The staff were warm and welcoming, which made me feel truly happy. I would love to visit again.

I visited with a friend who loves traveling. This was my third stay, and as always, the food was excellent, and the Onsen was amazing. My friend, visiting for the first time, also enjoyed it and went to the bath twice. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Although the building is old, it is very well cleaned and the hospitality is excellent, so I think this is an Accommodation you can be truly satisfied with. It was also fun and nostalgic to be able to contact the front desk using a telephone you don’t see these days—perhaps making good use of the property’s vintage charm. One small thing: the yukata brought to me because the size didn’t fit had a slight odor that concerned me a bit. That said, I may simply be overly sensitive. In any case, the service is outstanding, and every staff member provided wonderful hospitality. I was deeply impressed by their thoughtful attention to detail. By chance there was a festival that day and we were able to watch fireworks; they even told us the best viewing spot, which made it a great memory. Thank you very much. As for the meals, the rice was cooked perfectly and delicious. The side dishes were excellent as well, but especially how good the rice was stood out. One suggestion: if the green onions in the breakfast miso soup could be lightly cooked in advance, then warming it at the table would make it even tastier—I felt they sometimes didn’t cook through enough with table heating alone. Still, overall everything was extremely delicious. This is an Accommodation I will definitely want to stay at again when I visit Kaminoyama Onsen.

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.

I’m a Yamagata resident. I was satisfied with both the food and the Onsen. The breakfast and dinner buffets were especially outstanding. The ramen served at the breakfast buffet and the beef bowl with Yonezawa beef were exceptional. At the dinner buffet, the handmade soba was particularly delicious. There was also imoni, which visitors from outside the prefecture may enjoy, but locals will enjoy it even more. The Accommodation rate was affordable, and you can enjoy wonderful food and an Onsen at a great price. I’m glad I stayed here. I’ll be back.

We stayed here to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, traveling with my spouse, our dog, and my mother. It had been about 10 years since our last visit, and I’m truly glad we came back. At check-in, they had prepared a surprise celebration for our 25th anniversary, which really moved us. The front desk staff were all so cheerful and welcoming that it made us feel warmly at ease. At dinner, we also received congratulations from the proprietress; we felt humbled but very happy. The Onsen, which you can enjoy at any time except during the men’s/women’s switching period, was excellent—our bodies stayed warm and our skin felt wonderfully smooth. Both dinner and breakfast were generous in portion size, and we were fully satisfied with delicious Yonezawa beef and freshly pounded mochi. Our Room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. By chance there was a fireworks festival that day, and we were lucky enough to watch it from our Room. The service floor has a microwave, which was very helpful for warming up our dog’s meals. We also appreciated being able to relax in the lobby with a good cup of coffee on the morning of departure. At check-out as well, we enjoyed chatting with the front desk staff, who saw us off with smiles until the very end. My mother—who hadn’t traveled in quite some time—was delighted too, so choosing this Accommodation was absolutely the right decision for us. Thank you very much. We would love to return again.

10% OFF with a Reservation made 45 days in advance! We stayed on the Plan featuring Yamagata beef and Yonezawa pork shabu-shabu. The Room was an open-air bath Junior Suite, and a complimentary platter of cut fruit and sparkling wine was prepared for us. The Yamagata beef at dinner was incredibly tender and outstanding. Also, since it is all-inclusive, unlimited alcoholic drinks were included, which we really enjoyed. One small concern: the fence around the open-air bath is low, so we worried it might be visible from the houses in front. If we have the chance, we would love to stay again.

We stayed as a couple on 8/5. The Ryokan is located around the middle of the Akayu Onsen town. Arriving at the entrance on a quiet midsummer afternoon, we were warmly welcomed by a beautiful proprietress. The artworks displayed throughout were truly beautiful and valuable, with a nostalgic yet mysterious feel—it was like visiting a hidden museum surrounded by majestic mountains. The Onsen baths included a Roman-style bath and a rock bath. Everything was kept very clean, and the artistic atmosphere carried through. Best of all, the water was pleasantly hot and felt great for stiff shoulders and nerve pain. The shower pressure was strong too—excellent. We ate nearby this time, but it sounds like they offer carefully curated menus. And the Room: a spacious Japanese-style Room, welcome tea and sweets, and a large TV. We were very satisfied. I also saw comments from others saying the facilities and building are old—but that’s exactly part of its charm. I hope it can remain just as it is for as long as possible. It was an old-fashioned, artistic Ryokan where we could truly relax and feel healed. Thank you very much!

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.

It was a traditional Ryokan with a sense of history. The hinoki wood bath was also excellent.
