Anyway, the staff was very helpful. I was very happy that they cared about my child even during meals. The food was delicious and had a lot of variety. The inside of the hotel is old but tasteful and nice, and although there is no air conditioning in the room, it was cool enough just by opening the window. The open-air bath outside was in a great location, surrounded by nature, and it was so great that I ended up taking a long bath. One of the hotels I would like to visit again.

I stayed here on the second day of my trip to Yamagata in early August.I was told that there was an indoor bath, an open-air bath, and an open-air bath, so I decided to go here.An indoor bath and an open-air bath. The sulfur springs, which are not heated by adding water, are hot, but the water is good. I have atopic dermatitis on my hands, so I couldn't take a long bath because the hot springs were so stained, but I can really feel that it's effective for my body. The cascading hot water soothed my tired body."Noten Onsen" is only available from dawn to dusk in summer.A perfect location with a stream flowing right next to it and bathed in sunlight filtering through the trees. Early in the morning, I had a luxurious time all to myself. The hot water is a little softer than the indoor bath, so it won't hurt your hands. Nature is comfortable.But there's a radio cassette player playing enka playing in the eaves of the hut!The murmuring of the river and the rustle of greenery are drowned out, and the charm of open-air baths is halved!Please remove it immediately! I want to say it out loud.Also, since there is no shade shade, the sun is too harsh during the day. Great location and hot water so it's a waste. I would like you to improve it.The meals were served with local Yamagata cuisine in the morning and evening, and the portions were ample.At breakfast, each person was given an origami paper and a handwritten comment from the staff, which was very thoughtful and soothing.Boiled sweet potato for breakfast. It was rich and delicious.The accommodation fee was reasonable, but the food, hot springs, and welcoming employees made it a satisfying stay. I was a little concerned about the smell inside the elevator.

It's a very considerate hotel.The hot springs are a little hot, so children should choose either the open-air or indoor baths, which are lukewarm.The food provided was quite satisfying.This is one of the hotels I would like to stay at again.

All the staff are kind. The room feels old, but is well maintained.The great thing about it is the hot springs♪ The open air baths are very pleasant. Of course, there is an open-air bath in addition to the indoor bath, and you can use it as much as you like 24 hours a day.

When I got out of the hot spring and went to the changing room, two employees were talking and chatting in the changing room, which was a nuisance. He didn't realize I was there and was talking too much, so I ended up saying, "Um, excuse me..."It would be best to stop letting your employees take a bath.The spring quality was good and the food was okay, but this one thing ruined it.

I came here looking forward to the hot springs.As expected, the hot water is strong and gives your body a tingling sensation.The smell is like eggs, which is typical of hot springs.People with sensitive skin and young children should be careful, and if it gets into their eyes, it will sting.The open air bath was also nice. The area where the hot water comes out is hot.I was satisfied with the wonderful bath without heating water!The dinner was good and I was full.The temperature was high during Golden Week, so there was a fan, but I think it would be nice to have an air conditioner.

The bath is fed by strong acidic hot spring water.When you soak in the hot water, the water is so strong that it stings the wound, but it feels refreshing and refreshing after the bath.All the meals are delicious. It's so voluminous that you won't be able to finish it all.I'm satisfied, but if I had to say, the futon was thin, so I think it would have been nice to have a mattress.
