Accommodation near Kaminoyama OnsenThis is a quiet and small inn.It's a comfortable inn where you can see many people staying alone.Both the room and the bathroom are clean.There is no sauna, but you can take a bath in the hot springs, which have a mild spring quality.The dishes were introduced in a story style and all were very delicious.Another great point was that you could enjoy a set of wines from around Kamiyama at a reasonable price.It was a blissful time to relax and read a book in the lounge with a fireplace.

Is this a good inn to post on SNS?Considering the location, the inn had a reasonable price, but there were many things that made it feel disappointing.The quality of the rooms was not excellent, and the hot springs were not particularly pleasant.To be honest, I felt that the hospitality was just a little better than a business hotel.The only thing I thought was that the food was reasonably good, but I was very sad that they didn't pay any attention to me when I had stomach cramps during dinner and had to leave several times due to pain.According to my companion, I was worried because I could see that the progress of the course was delayed. (bitter smile)Since he was clearly suffering, I wanted him to listen to my intentions by saying a few words, interrupting him, and taking him to his room.I asked for miso soup and rice to be brought to my room, but I felt like I was forced to eat the main meal and couldn't enjoy it all. I would have been happy if you had just said a word to me.There is a fireplace and garden space in the common area, and the meals are photogenic, so this is probably a good inn for those who like to post photos on social media.I'm not satisfied with that, so I won't choose another one.

There was no one to greet me when I arrived at the hotel, and even though I had bad legs, I didn't even try to carry my suitcase (even at the entrance or after checking in). I didn't know if it was okay to roll the case on the floor, so I carried it on my shoulder, and when it arrived in front of the sofa, I finally said, ``It's okay to roll it.'' My first impression was terrible.Dinner: In this class, they will push your chair when you sit down. There wasn't. The wine set was explained in one go, so there was no time to ask questions. Even after asking again how to use the tool for crushing nuts, I couldn't understand the explanation. A young man took Mikane's place.I think the quality of the food was pretty high, but I couldn't get enough of it due to the poor service mentioned above.I was impressed that the room was upgraded to a larger one. However, I wanted a simple chair on the terrace.I visited the courtyard in the morning, and it had a calming atmosphere.Amenities were poor.What was it about the Okuno wall in the detached bath that was partially painted over?I always take a look at the collection of books in public spaces with great interest, but they are just cluttered and lined up without a theme. I would like to see a way to organize things by genre.Overall, the outer box is beautiful, but compared to the price, I don't think the staff involved in the service has been trained at all.I had heard that it was a new inn from a long-established chain, but I was very disappointed.

This is my second time. I came here by myself before, and it's a quiet and relaxing inn. Bonfires are always burning, and the scent is very soothing. Many of the other inns have bonfires, but the hours are limited and they're small, lol.I was able to do very absentmindedly and slept soundly...This time, I was very happy because it was cheap due to the campaign and I was able to experience smoking. Thank you for providing various services without making a bad face even though I was alone!

The renovated interior has the sound of the forest and the image of the inn's name. A fire is lit in the fireplace in front of the front desk, and just looking at it is soothing. This is an inn where adults can spend a quiet and relaxing time, including a reading space.Recommended for solo female travelers.The meals have a seasonal concept.The day I visited was autumn.It started with a story about squirrels and autumn ingredients, and the presentation was wonderful and kept me excited until the end, and I was satisfied with the meal.After the meal, we were able to relax and try our hand at smoking while watching the bonfire in the courtyard.This is an inn that I would like to visit again.

I visited for one night on a normal Saturday and Sunday.I arrived by taxi from the station, had my luggage carried, and was given a welcome drink and cheesecake in the lobby with a fireplace while being given an explanation of the accommodation.It was very smooth and gave me a good impression.Each piece of furniture is made with special care and the atmosphere is wonderful.The rooms may have originally been used as a sanatorium, but although the structure is simple, they have been renovated and are well maintained and have more than enough facilities.It's located in the forest, so apart from the view, the concept of the inn is to enjoy the sounds of the Yamagata forest, so you can relax and listen to the chirping of insects and chirping birds without even turning on the TV.The hot springs are relatively mild, typical of Kaminoyama Onsen. The bathroom is clean and satisfying. There was water and a fan right after the bath, giving the impression that they were attentive to the details. I was at Akayu Onsen the day before, so I thought the sulfur feeling would be stronger in Akayu.Dinner was venison game and Yonezawa beef. I enjoyed pairing it with red Kaminoyama wine. I had my dessert in the bonfire space in the center of the inn while watching the bonfire while holding the red wine I ordered for dinner in one hand.A staff member suggested, ``Would you like to try blowing a bellows?'' and it was my first bonfire experience in a while.As a general review, I felt that the price was above average (30,000 yen per person with a creative cooking plan and a glass of wine).Looking back on the hospitality of the staff, the quality of the food comparable to a French restaurant, and the experience of staying in the entire inn, I felt it was more than worth the price.Rather than enjoying the room, I felt that the essence of how to enjoy this inn was how to enjoy the wonderful common spaces.We look forward to seeing you again soon.
