Yumori Takumi-an Yamakawa

The building shows its age, but the interior is well maintained and clean, so we had a very comfortable stay. I honestly didn’t expect much from the Yonezawa beef dinner because it was reasonably priced, but the meat was far better than I imagined and I was very satisfied. The morning rice porridge was also great. All of the staff were kind, and their warm hospitality really stood out. The hot spring is 100% free-flowing from the source, and the water felt wonderful—after soaking, my skin felt silky smooth and I even felt a little younger (haha). At such an affordable price, being able to enjoy Yonezawa beef and a free-flowing natural hot spring made this a truly satisfying stay.

This was my second stay in Yonezawa City, and I chose this property with high expectations for the meals and the baths.The room was spacious, quiet, clean, and very comfortable.The meals met my expectations—I really enjoyed the Yonezawa beef sukiyaki.The baths use natural hot spring water: a hotter indoor bath and a milder open-air bath. They aren’t flashy, but the water felt wonderfully soft. After reading the legend of Ono no Komachi, I could see why—it’s truly excellent hot spring water.
