On my way back from climbing Mt. Gassan, I used the hot springs to relieve my fatigue. Room 306 on the third floor is a Japanese-style room with a futon and a table, so there is no space to roll around on the tatami. Well, I think it's enough just to sleep. In addition, room 306 was conveniently located with access to the bath, toilet, dining room, and rooftop.Baths contain strong chlorine disinfectants, so if you soak in the bathtub and then get out, your body will smell like chlorine. We recommend that you wash your body before exiting.Dinner starts at 6pm. We had simple wild vegetable dishes, Yamagata's specialty, imoni, fried sweetfish, beef shabu-shabu, rice cooked with mushrooms that I had never heard of before, and fruit (dried persimmons, apples) for dessert.All of the dishes were very delicious and satisfying, and I was so full that I struggled.What impressed me the most was when I went up to the rooftop at night (this is an inn where you can go up to the rooftop) and looked up at the night sky, I saw a sky full of stars. It looks like stars are about to fall. You can also see the Nantes Milky Way. Subaru can also be seen so clearly that you can count the stars. You can also see three shooting stars, so this alone is worth the trip.I think this is a must-visit accommodation for people who like looking at the starry sky.Breakfast starts at 7am and is a normal breakfast of grilled salmon, seaweed, and natto, but it was delicious. The pickles and boiled kyarabuki that accompanied the salmon were delicious.Check-out time is 10 o'clock, but since the inn is located near Mt. Gassan, one of the 100 famous mountains, it seems that the other guests had gone mountain climbing, so I checked out at 9:30, but there was no one left. It was.It was an inn that I definitely wanted to use when climbing Mt. Gassan.

I stayed for consecutive nights.All the food was delicious, especially the river fish.I was happy that the rice was mixed grain rice or edamame rice.My partner forgot his smartphone this morning, but I had him bring it to me by car.I think he was busy, but he was really helpful.

I stayed here while climbing Mt. Gassan. Even though I had already checked out, I was able to use the bath on my way back from the mountain and was able to move on to my next accommodation feeling refreshed. It was a very attentive and friendly inn...m(__)m
