Because we’d mostly visited southern Onsen towns such as Zao, Akayu, and Kaminoyama, this year we decided to head north and went to Hijiori, Semi, and Ginzan. Hijiori had come up as an option before, but I had somehow assumed it was a remote, quiet, minor Onsen area. I was surprised to find it’s a rare Onsen town these days that still has real energy. While Zao and Akayu have largely turned into shuttered streets and feel like each place is operating separately for its own target guests, Hijiori Onsen has a welcoming style where the whole town hosts visitors together. The shops were lively too—I was truly moved to see that the best of the Showa-era Onsen town atmosphere still remains. I believe Yushin no Yado is family-run with additional staff; everyone was kind and warm in their service, so we felt at ease throughout our stay. And we were amazed by both the quantity and quality of the meals! It was so lavish I thought my stomach might burst—packed with mountain delicacies. I wished I had a bigger appetite. I felt bad leaving anything uneaten, and when I saw someone at a nearby table being served an enormous watermelon, I nearly despaired. However, they were clearly paying attention to how quickly we were eating; since I eat slowly, they switched mine to a smaller portion for me, which impressed me. As a couple who don’t drink alcohol much at all, strongly seasoned dishes meant to pair with drinks are delicious but make us need lots of water; if possible, it would be helpful to receive a pitcher of cold water once it’s clear we won’t be ordering beverages. The saltiness makes us thirsty—we end up drinking a lot of water and getting full before finishing the wonderful food. The private reserved Onsen in the annex offered as a guest perk had different water quality from the main bath area (which made it fun). It seems this Accommodation borrows the bathhouse of an older Ryokan that is no longer operating; because it didn’t lock properly from inside (no key), it made us nervous. Still, enjoying another type of spring water was great.

The Facility and the Room felt a bit old, but everything was thoroughly cleaned and very tidy, so we were able to relax comfortably. The bath was also kept clean, and the Onsen felt absolutely wonderful. The meals were mainly mountain vegetables, but they were very delicious. This time we had kiritanpo hot pot, but according to the Reviews, game dishes seem to be popular, so next time I’d like to try them. The doburoku was also great. I’d like to stay at this Accommodation again if I have the chance.

It was my first time visiting Tsuchiyu Onsen, and since it was located in Oku-Tsuchiyu Onsen, a bit further into the mountains from the onsen town, I was able to enjoy the soothing sound of the river and the fresh mountain air, which was absolutely wonderful. The staff at the accommodation were all polite, kind, energetic, and warm-hearted; I felt truly healed by their hospitality. My son was deeply impressed by the tea incense burner in our room and delightedly mentioned how its natural fragrance was much better than detergents or sprays like Risesh. The meals were delicious no matter what we had; you could feel they were carefully prepared with great hospitality. Please continue doing your best with your lovely cats!

The Onsen was great, and the meals were excellent as well. However, the Room walls seemed thin, and we could constantly hear an elderly couple in the next room from evening until after midnight and again from early morning.

You can enjoy a carefully prepared meal served in your Room at a relaxed pace. The Facility is old, but it is clean and felt like coming home to my parents’ house. From the window, the view of the mountains of Aone and the sound of birds made me feel refreshed. I would definitely like to visit again.

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.

This stay became a truly memorable experience. The staff welcomed us with warm smiles, guided us around the Accommodation with great care, and showed thoughtful attention to every detail—service that naturally made us want to return. We felt comfortable throughout our stay. The Onsen was, simply put, outstanding. Our Room had a private open-air bath that we could enjoy all to ourselves. The water temperature was perfect, and from the moment we stepped in, it felt as if all the tension left our body. Soaking slowly while looking out over the beautiful forest was pure bliss, and we enjoyed it many times during our stay. The amenities also had a wonderful fragrance and quickly became a favorite. We chose the sake tasting Plan, and each selection had its own character and was fun to compare. As a sake lover, I was especially happy to be able to order Hiroki Aiyama separately—an exceptionally rare bottle—so finding it on the menu genuinely thrilled me. It paired perfectly with Aizu dishes such as herring marinated with Japanese pepper leaves. Being able to enjoy such precious sake while traveling is a truly luxurious memory, and it felt like something unique to an Accommodation in Aizu. They also lend inflatable rings for the Onsen. At first I thought, “An inflatable ring in an Onsen?” but after trying it, I was honestly amazed by how comfortable it was. Floating effortlessly while soaking lets you relax even more deeply than usual. It made me appreciate both their creativity and their playful desire for guests to fully enjoy the Onsen experience. The inflatable ring left a strong impression—I could soak almost face-down in complete relaxation. The cuisine, Onsen, and service were all excellent; this wasn’t an Accommodation where only one aspect stood out—the entire experience was consistently high quality. Thoughtful care could be felt everywhere, and the whole place overflowed with genuine hospitality. People say travel is defined by where you stay, and this visit truly proved that saying right. From the superb Onsen and heartwarming service to the eye-opening inflatable ring experience, it became a wonderful trip filled with great memories. We would love to visit again in another season—thank you very much.”

We stayed as a family. Our children really enjoyed the kid-friendly quests and fireworks. We were also able to relax in the large public bath. I do wish there had been a bit more consideration regarding the morning open-air bath tub, but the meals were just right, we could fully enjoy the wine including welcome wine, and we would like to stay again.

I traveled with my son, and we were completely satisfied with the hospitality. If you have time, there seem to be various activities you can enjoy after check-in. (We checked in after 5:00 p.m., so we didn’t use them.) The restaurant food was excellent. It’s a buffet, but it covers most of Yamagata’s local specialties. The main dish—wood-fired Zao beef—really lets you taste the meat’s natural flavor, and it pairs perfectly with red wine. All-you-can-drink wine from Takeda Winery and Woody Farm was included, which was amazing. Even beer (Asahi and Heartland) was all-you-can-drink—what a surprise. Next time, I’d like to stay with my whole family. Thank you very much!

I recently stayed with the No Meals Included plan. As it was a weekday after the Golden Week holidays, it wasn’t crowded, and I was able to relax and enjoy a long soak in the bath. The building feels a bit old, but the Room and large public bath were well cleaned and very pleasant. Thank you very much.

Everything was excellent, including the surrounding environment. The staff and the proprietress were all impeccable in their hospitality. Thank you very much. We will visit again in November to see the autumn leaves.

After about a 1.5-hour drive from the interchange, passing through Shiobara Onsen, you arrive at a quiet mountain Accommodation. The Room with an open-air bath features a 65-inch BRAVIA TV, Hida furniture, a Simmons bed, Dyson and T-fal appliances, and other top-class furnishings; the hospitality is excellent as well—coffee and Dolce are provided, and the refrigerator is stocked with All-Free and Aizu specialties. (Plenty of bath towels; high-quality yukata and samue are also available.) The Onsen in the open-air bath is free-flowing; although the water is clear and colorless, it left my skin feeling wonderfully smooth. However, what was slightly disappointing was the very ordinary dinner. Despite being an Onsen in a mountain setting that takes time to reach, there were few mountain ingredients or local specialties, and it was hard to tell what this Accommodation’s signature dish was (I assume Fukushima beef is the main). For this season especially, having something distinctive—such as mushroom dishes like shishitake or even one item featuring Nango tomatoes—would have made a more memorable impression. With its good spring quality and environment, I think this Accommodation is recommended for those who want to relax and take it easy.

Tucked away in a tranquil mountain setting that’s hard to believe is only about a 15-minute drive from central Odate, the view from the open-air bath was wonderfully calming. The building itself feels older, but the guest room was very clean and seemed to have been renovated.

The cheerful greetings from the Accommodation staff made for a wonderfully pleasant welcome. The biggest highlight was the two types of free-flowing open-air Onsen baths! By alternating between the deep low-temperature and high-temperature baths, even I—who tends to overheat easily—was able to soak for a long time and fully enjoy the Onsen. I highly recommend trying it. It would be even better if there were welcome drinks or coffee available. Just as the Accommodation name suggests, there was a lucky bell on the chopstick sleeve—a thoughtful touch that made me happy.

The owner of the Accommodation seems deeply devoted to the Onsen and handed me an Onsen analysis sheet at the front desk—something I’d never experienced before. The main rock bath had a wonderful atmosphere and there were three tubs, but all of them were too hot for me to soak in. I barely managed to get into the deep bath at the front for about 10 seconds a few times. I understand the desire for guests to enjoy the free-flowing natural hot spring water, but it was a bit intense for me. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the smaller gourd-shaped bath and went in three times. The meals were modest but more than enough, and especially the soba was delicious. The toilet in my Room was modern and comfortable. The building is very spacious and must be difficult to maintain, but I hope they will continue doing well for many years to come.

We enjoyed the stylish interior, elaborate dishes and tableware with a focus on broth, and the wonderful milky white Onsen. The only downside was that the phone was difficult to connect, and even when it did, it was automatically transferred to another Ryokan, so it was hard to get the information needed, and we had to hang up and wait for a callback. The website mentioned that there was a Shuttle Service to the nearest bus stop, but we were not provided with it and had to walk for 30 minutes. I understand that not having a TV in the Room might be a particular choice, but I still would like to have a TV. During the extreme Onsen tour, we were able to experience a wild and natural Onsen that is difficult to visit individually.

Two private hot spring baths, available 24 hours when open, are exceptional. One is an outdoor bath and the other is indoor. The outdoor bath is a bit small, so it might feel slightly cramped for two people, but the atmosphere is fantastic. The water flow is abundant. It's also convenient that you can check the availability of the baths from your room. The room had a private bathroom and toilet, but with only seven rooms in this accommodation and two private baths available, having a bathroom in the room might not be necessary. It would be nicer if that space were used to make the room larger instead. The room features a large TV with BS channels and thoughtfully placed USB outlets throughout—likely added later—which are very convenient. Meals have standard portions and variety but stand out for their excellent seasoning and creative presentation. Ingredients seem carefully selected as well. The wine selection appears to be sourced internationally by the owner; even as amateurs, we found both red and white wines delightful. The owner enjoys chatting with guests, making it enjoyable for those who like conversation. For those less comfortable with interaction, there's no overly intrusive approach typical of some accommodations like pensions. Pricing is reasonable, offering high overall satisfaction—a wonderful accommodation worth revisiting. One question: Is ordering at least one drink mandatory during meals? If so, it might be better to clarify this policy upfront since some non-drinkers may feel uncomfortable finding out on-site—even though soft drinks are available.

The building is undeniably old, but it was clean and well maintained. The staff were also very helpful. If the breakfast buffet had offered a few more options, it would have been perfect!
