kind service, speaking a little english, but right the necessary, price more then reasonable, very quick check-in and -out.

This hotel is new, clean, conveniently located and very reasonably priced. The room is not large but it has all of the necessary modern amenities. The Japanese breakfast was also very good with a lot of local Yamagata foods. I definitely recommend this hotel if you're planning to visit Yamagata.

We decided to continue our plan by go to Haguro San and Akita and Kitakami for 4 nights after Yamagata. But because this hotel is so good and... More

We booked this hotel online via Japanican.com expecting a typical Japanese business hotel. It seems we booked a suite at the very reasonable price of 16000 yen per night including breakfast for 2.
