      “Excellent”

      A little hard to acces in Winter, especially if you drive there, however, there are shittle bus provided from the hotel to the station twice a day. Staffs are really nice, with a great service mind. Worth to stay here :)

      山形名物「米の娘ぶたしゃぶしゃぶ」をいただきました。肉の量の多さにびっくりしました。大変やわらかく、沢山食べてももたれませんでした。貸切風呂を利用しましたが露天のみなので、寒かったです。照明も、暗かったです。

      “よかった”

      宿泊前に口コミを見ていたらあまりいい評価とは言えないものも見受けられたが、「まずまずよかった」というのが実感だった。この宿の良さは、なんといっても滞在しながらの湯めぐりにあると思う。ぜひ体験してみてほしい。 評判通り、スタッフの対応はみな心地のいいものだった。
