5-Star Hotels in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan

They offer different wines throughout the day, which is a great choice for anyone who enjoys drinking. The private onsen is also highly recommended and worth experiencing. The entire hotel has a strong artistic vibe. The only downside to the public bath is that there's a building in the view, which feels a bit strange.

Driving is convenient, and while the hotel offered a shuttle service, we were greeted by a ********* person who spoke Mandarin. However, this service stopped in the evening, which wasn't a problem. Why did we only realize the communication issues later that evening? Because before going to sleep, we found a long-standing menstrual blood stain on the sheets 🙂↕️. Calling the front desk went unanswered, so we had to go downstairs to find them. The front desk staff looked exhausted and busy, but they eventually managed to get someone to come to our room to clean it up. There's a large public bath and private baths. A 45-minute reservation for a private bath seems to cost several thousand yen, but I wouldn't recommend booking one. The hairdryers and shower facilities are old-fashioned, and there's only one shower stall (though it's stated to be for a family of four). Long-haired women take longer to dry their hair, so it's useless for families with more than three people. We tried to book an extra 45 minutes, but it was fully booked. Everyone should go to the large public bath; you can see the outdoor scenery (there's an outdoor hot spring) even when it rains. The breakfast was super delicious. Would I come again? I'll think about it!
