Family hotels and homes in Yonezawa

The staff were friendly and very kind to my baby, their hospitality made the stay even better, they even brought a bed and blanket for my daughter at dinner time since she was sleepy! And speaking of the food, it was plentiful and very well prepared. The onsen was wonderful and the room was clean.

The staff was very friendly. They provided helpful advice and pointed me to the bike rental station located inside Takahata station. There is a direct connection from the train station, to the hotel and to the bike rental station, which is very convenient.

The owner made us feel very welcome, and provided us a lot of tips for activities in the neighbourhood. The house was beautiful, spacious and kids friendly.

The rooms were very good sized, plenty of space for everything and moving around!

Friendly owner, great location in the woods and mountains. Confortable beds

First and foremost: This is not a hotel for extended stay. This is an unforgettable experience for a day. You are expected to mostly stay at this traditional hotel and relax as much as possible. The rooms are spacious, and the beds are comfortable. Each room has its own outside onsen (hot spring bath). Tip: take a room on the first floor, those bathtubs are carved out of a solid block of stone. The water itself is very hot, but feels absolutely divine and did wonders for my skin. The meals are crazy good. The dinner menu was ~10 courses with locally sourced ingredients. The waiter, general manager and owner took turns explaining in intricate detail what each course meant, where it came from, and why they chose to present it to us. I'm pretty sure the owner also mentioned the cook had a Michelin star - which would explain the unconventional, but delicious creations. The breakfast was Japanese-style, and also very good. I'm not sure what else I should add - the intricate eye for detail and attention the staff gave us (I felt so bad seeing the small Japanese woman carry my heavy luggage to my room, but I wasn't allowed to carry it myself, haha); the free bar with the expensive alcohol at night; the modern interpretation of old history... Not to mention the other included amenities: a shuttle bus, an early tour, live soba making, sake tasting [...] It is pricey, but again: you are NOT paying for a simple hotel night, you are paying for an experience. Full recommendation.

This place is amazing, it's calm and quiet, the staff are all really nice. The dinner is amazing with so many delicious dishes. We borrow the canoe for 2 hours, enjoying the time traveling around the lake. Overall it's a great experience, the whole family are very happy with it.
