Mogamiya

They provided us with a very comfortable room. Although it is a retro inn, there is free WiFi and shower toilets. The bath was piping hot and prepared, which shows the owner's personality.When I come again, I will definitely stay here.

5 star inn. There is a tempura shop next door, and the owner is very interesting. When I bought it, they served it to me for dinner. Best hospitality. He showed me a covered bicycle parking lot and I stored my bike there. Mammoth happy.He guided me to the ``Kiri-no-ma'' room.The room is 4 and a half tatami mats and feels like a hideaway. The woodwork inside the building and in the rooms are intricately designed and worth the price. The entire facility is kept clean. Yakusugi, which is no longer usable, was also used. His predecessor was a lumber merchant, so he uses a lot of high-quality lumber.A must-see for retro ryokan enthusiasts.There are so many roads in Sakata that you can only walk through one step at a time, which makes travelers sad. When I asked the owner, he told me that there was a big fire in Sakata about 45 years ago, and the reconstruction failed and the number of one-way streets increased (apparently there were quite a few from the beginning). Fortunately, this part remained unburned.A wind-up fly trap is in use at the entrance.If you like old things, there are many things you can enjoy, such as glass paintings and a ship's safe (for the Kitamae ship? It's designed to prevent it from sinking).Dinner was miso soup with bamboo shoots, grilled raw silver salmon, shabu-shabu, and rice. The rice was 100% Koshihikari rice grown in Sakata, and I hadn't had such delicious rice in a while. Yamagata rice is the best. It's at a level where you can come just to eat rice.There was a pamphlet about the Great Sakata Fire in the dining room, so I read it carefully after dinner. By the way, Mogami-ya Ryokan was introduced in ``Japanese Bolo Inn Travelogue''. There were books in the hall. This is one of the inns that I would definitely like to visit again.

A nice place to go for drinks. There's a snack bar right in front and a pub is nearby. But when you go home after drinking, the hallway is dark and you have to unlock your room in the dark. It's noisy with the drunkards making noise outside. The bath starts at 5 o'clock, so it's a shame that you can't take a bath unless you wait. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I heard swans chirping, letting me know that winter was coming soon.

The toilet was separate and it was a little difficult to go up the steep stairs from the room on the second floor. Although there are toothbrushes, there is no separate toothpaste and the bathroom is shared, so if you feel uncomfortable, we recommend bringing your own toothpaste. The interior of the passageway was decorated with intricate details, and the ornaments were not too shabby, so it was very nice! In my mind, it was an important cultural property! The checkout was so Showa-style that I couldn't ask if I could use credit cards. , I paid in cash (lol) I don't think you can use cards. From the moment you walk in the door to the room, bath, breakfast and return home, it feels like you've traveled back in time to the Showa era.
