This is not a hotel worth paying over 60,000 yen per person per night to stay there.If you're staying at an inn in the Kanto region at this price, you'd expect a new, fresh yukata, fluffy bath towels, and even better bedding with down comforters and mattresses, but here, both the yukata and towels are flimsy. It looked like it would wear out after washing, and the duvet was flimsy, not warm, and looked cheap.The room was large but cold, smelled of musty, and there was no water in the humidifier. The semi-open-air bath in the room was too small and too cold to bathe in.It wasn't sophisticated and I didn't see the kind of hospitality you would expect from an inn in this price range.I don't get much food either. I wonder how much they are trying to keep the material costs down. The taste is also not good. The eel seems to be the selling point, but the way it's grilled isn't that great either. If you're talking about a long-established eel restaurant, you want the skin to be crispy, the meat to be soft, and deliciously grilled without any fishy smell. It takes too long to serve. Normally, the next item is brought out based on the speed of the diners, but it was different here. Also, the restaurant is so cold that you can't enjoy a leisurely meal. If you're in Yamagata in November, I'd like you to take care to warm up the room by turning on the heater before letting customers in.What does it feel like to turn on the air conditioner after taking your seat?Surprisingly for this price, the refrigerator in the room doesn't even have free drinks. There is no provision for drinks after taking a bath.It was just a country inn, and there was nothing sophisticated about it.Since it's Yamagata, I guess they're just doing it because there's no competition.It was a time when I felt like I was wasting money.I won't go there again. It makes me think they are making fun of their customers. It's drafty and cold, so I go to rent a yutanpo, and the room should be warm since it has an air conditioner. It's just my imagination. Someone who seems like a master. I caught a cold for the first time in 15 years and was not feeling well for a while.I go to hotels every month that cost 60,000 yen per weekday night for one person, and 100,000 yen for two people per night, mainly in the Tohoku and Kanto regions, but this was the lowest rank. Both the food and the service. At this level, even half the price feels expensive.

I used a room at Totei (Aotake) on weekdays.The room was okay, but the food was not delicious. (Especially tomato pot)The eel seems to be good, but is it the same as the supermarket?It's served in your room, so you can eat quietly.You can take a relaxing bath in the semi-open-air bath in the room, but the tub is dug into the ground, making it dangerous to enter, so I wanted a handrail.The only good thing was that we were lucky that there were no Chinese people.

It was a very nice inn, and the customer service staff were very polite and kind. When we talked about our wedding anniversary, we received a wonderful present from the inn. I was very happy because I learned so many things. It was an inn that I would like to stay at again.
