TSUKINO HOTEL

Conveniently located right in front of the station. The Room was clean and comfortable. The lobby had a great atmosphere, and it was interesting that you can bring books from the neighboring library up to your Room to read (though it may not be something you use much on a short stay). The breakfast buffet was very well stocked—there was squid sashimi, local Yamagata dishes, and even ramen available to order, which felt quite luxurious. The roll cake dessert wasn’t a cheap petit-cake style one; it was genuinely tasty. The pudding also looked good, but unfortunately it seemed to sell out early before I could get some.

Located right in front of Sakata Station, this was a very clean Hotel. At the breakfast buffet, we enjoyed local Yamagata specialties such as “dashi,” “imoni” (taro stew), “mukisoba,” and Sakata ramen. Perhaps because of the season, there was also squid sashimi, making it a very satisfying meal.I rated the bath lower only because our Room had a unit bath and we did not use the Onsen, so I gave an average score. That said, the bathroom was very clean as well. Opinions may vary, but I personally liked that there were two types of showers.It’s a Hotel I would like to stay at again. If I had to mention one downside, smoking areas are limited to outdoors and the 3rd floor only, which may feel inconvenient for smokers.
