Togatta Onsen × Makanan di Hotel·penginapan gaya Jepun dinilai tinggi

I stayed here again for the first time in five years. The food and service felt much improved, which was a pleasant surprise. For example, the rice at breakfast was excellent—among the best I’ve had in Yamagata. I also enjoyed chatting with the staff and had a great time. I’d like to visit again soon.

I had a very comfortable 3-day, 2-night stay in a quiet setting. The meals were delicious, and the nightly mini concerts in the lobby were truly relaxing. As I was traveling solo, it wasn’t cheap, but the Facility and the quality of the cuisine more than justified it. If I had to mention one thing, the toilet paper in the Room was thin and a bit inconvenient to use. It was a wonderful and comfortable Hotel that will likely make me want to return again in summer.

It was an extremely satisfying trip. The service was refined, courteous, and pleasantly discreet. In particular, the veteran staff member with sommelier credentials made superb selections of sake and wine, which made our meals and conversations all the more enjoyable. The plaster walls in the room created a comfortable atmosphere that felt truly soothing. We would love to return again. Thank you very much.

I have stayed here many times. Among the Onsen in Zao, the water quality is excellent, and Tsuruya’s baths suit me perfectly. There are also four types of private baths, so you can relax and enjoy them at your own pace. The food is incredibly delicious—every meat dish is generous in portion size and so tasty that you’ll want to eat it again right away. This time I had the Zao beef steak; it was very tender and wonderful with a variety of flavors such as lemon butter and wasabi. I will definitely visit again. A Multiple Night Stay is also recommended.

Last year, I was impressed by the variety of Onsen and the fresh vegetables, so I stayed again this year. The Room we chose had a bedroom on the second floor and a wonderful layout. We were thrilled to spot a wild squirrel from the balcony, even if only for a short time. I heard the chef has changed, so the overall impact was slightly different, but everything was delicious, with fresh vegetables featured throughout the menu. The morning tomato juice was just as fresh as ever and outstanding. Not only is the Onsen excellent, but there is also a wide selection of drinks available, making this Accommodation more satisfying than any other Onsen Accommodation. It’s a bit far from Tokyo, but I would love to stay again to relax with superb Onsen and fresh vegetables.

A Room with an open-air bath, great views, and a wonderful atmosphere. We also appreciated being able to enjoy free drinks such as beer. Both dinner and breakfast were satisfying in both quantity and quality. The relaxed dining atmosphere was excellent! The staff’s thoughtful hospitality was also very pleasant.

I stayed here with the Zao Snow Monsters package in Shiroishi-Zao. The hot spring was excellent and very refreshing. The meals were very generous, and I ended up leaving a lot. I would like an option with smaller portions.

To sum it up: absolutely worth the trip, even if it’s far! I was truly satisfied for the first time in a while!! From the initial phone call, the staff were kind and courteous. Even just looking at the photos of members of the Imperial Family, I could enjoy an atmosphere that reflects many years of history. Only the restrooms have been updated to a clean, modern style, which made me feel how much care and effort has gone into maintaining this place. The Room reminded me of my grandmother’s home in the early Showa era—so nostalgic. It’s perfect for simply relaxing and unwinding. The Onsen is a hot, free-flowing natural spring! The volume of water is incredible, and after soaking slowly, my body stayed warm for ages—spa therapy complete. I regretted not staying at least two nights to visit all the nearby public baths. I really hope you will aim to become an Accommodation where small dogs are welcome. Thank you very much. I’ll be back when I want to relax again.

This time I took the Shinkansen to Sendai and used the free Shuttle Service bus from Sendai Station for a round trip. After arriving, I had a beer, and at dinner I ate and drank as well. I also got to use the pool, so I was very satisfied. Since I was traveling alone, my Room was a single and felt a bit small, but next time I'd like to go with friends and try staying in a larger Room. I'd like to visit again.

Although the building feels a bit dated, the Hotel is kept very clean, and since it’s not ski season, it’s a great location for a quiet and relaxing stay. It was also nice to be able to see the city night view from the Room. The meals (not buffet-style) were served promptly by the staff at just the right timing, and there was more than I could finish. They also took photos for us, and the service was excellent. There are a few minor inconveniences (I won’t go into details), but personally I think it’s a good place. If you’re looking for every possible amenity in a Hotel, you can always choose to stay somewhere more expensive.

A prior Review mentioned that there were many foreign staff, and it felt like most of the staff were non-Japanese. However, their Japanese was very good and the service was fine, so it didn’t bother me. Amenities are placed in the lobby and you take what you need yourself. They had plenty, including toner, makeup remover, shampoo, etc. You can drink coffee and tea for free at the cafe corner, which was a nice service. The meals were mainly Japanese cuisine and were delicious. Personally, I loved the stylish and cute small plates used for the dishes. The bath was pleasant too, but I felt there weren’t enough hair dryers. Especially for women who need more time to dry their hair, I ended up thinking I’d have to wait my turn… and that it might be faster to go back to my Room with wet hair and dry it there. The view from the Room was great and was the best part. The mountains and river looked beautiful—wonderful scenery.

We had a truly enjoyable time. The Facility was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The tent had both heating and air conditioning, and perhaps because it was Golden Week, the outdoor temperature was also ideal. The meal portions were just right. If I had to mention one thing, since it’s a tent, voices do carry. There were times when we noticed the neighboring dog and a baby crying, but it was within an acceptable range. This was our first glamping experience, and it became a wonderful memory.

We stayed at Tamaya Ryokan during Silver Week, and the rates were still very reasonable. Near the front desk there is a large public bath, and a little farther away there is a private bath available 24 hours a day. Both were on the hotter side with a slight iron scent, had plenty of water flowing directly from the source, and left our skin feeling smooth afterward—wonderful hot springs. The meals were all handmade with an impressive number of dishes. Everything was delicious. In particular, I tried tsukudani made with “inago” (grasshoppers?) for the first time in my life—its slightly bitter flavor and texture were quite unique… The croissants we bought as souvenirs were also lightly sweet and wonderfully flaky—highly recommended. After check-in we also received bathing tickets for “Kami-no-Yu / Kotobuki-no-Yu,” so we took a short walk to Kami-no-Yu about two minutes from the ryokan. There was even a footbath outside, and it really captured the atmosphere of this hot spring town. The next day after breakfast, we took another casual stroll in our yukata and stopped by a café called Enso; both the coffee and gateau chocolat were exceptional. We relaxed from check-in at 3:00 PM until check-out at 10:00 AM at Tamaya Ryokan. This was our first visit to Togatta Onsen, and we loved its calm, welcoming vibe—it’s become one of our favorite places. It’s about a five-hour drive from home for us, but we definitely want to come again.

Thank you for your hospitality. Each dish was beautifully presented, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The Zao cream cheese gnocchi was especially delicious, and the sauce was so good that we ended up dipping bread into it! Despite causing some inconvenience, you handled everything kindly and professionally. We look forward to staying with you again in the future.

The building itself isn’t exactly new, and the room showed some noticeable signs of repairs… but I was truly able to spend a deeply relaxing time. The private open-air bath was wonderful and felt amazing, and the indoor bath was also bright and airy with large windows. But my favorite was actually the shared open-air bath. The water temperature was just right for a long, leisurely soak, and the scenery at night and in the morning felt completely different—both were truly captivating. I also used the foot acupressure massager that was set up after bathing, and it felt incredible! And above all, the meals! Both the meat and fish were delicious, and looking at the course as a whole, there wasn’t a single moment where I thought “I wish they had this too”—it was completely satisfying from start to finish. I couldn’t believe you can enjoy food of this quality with a course priced at just under 13,000 yen these days. Having dinner served in the room made it even better… And being able to place orders by smartphone was so convenient. Most of all, the smile of the staff member who brought everything to us—it genuinely soothed me. I could go on forever about what I loved… The welcome sweets on arrival were delicious, the coffee available throughout our stay was great… and then there’s the rooftop! I’ll never forget spending time on that quiet, open rooftop terrace. The futon bedding had a nice weight to it so I slept soundly—I’m beyond satisfied. It made me think: I definitely want to stay again. Oh—but next time I’ll choose a room with an en-suite toilet! Haha. Thank you very much for everything!

I stayed for two nights, and the best part was that drinks were free all the time with the all-inclusive plan. I didn’t go out anywhere and just enjoyed the Onsen and drinks, which was perfect.

Although we arrived later than planned and felt uneasy in the dark due to the rain, we managed to reach safely. Having streetlights or lights in the parking area might have made parking easier. The room had a thoughtful message, and the lights and heating were already on, which made us feel at ease. Thank you very much. The Onsen was perfect, especially since it was cold. As it rained the next day as well, we chose to relax in the room and enjoyed soaking in the Onsen from the morning. We were very satisfied with both the atmosphere of the room and its facilities. Next time, we hope to enjoy dining on the terrace on a sunny day. Thank you for your hospitality!
