"Nice large room; friendly staff; great price for room, dinner, and breakfast. Located in a residential neighborhood; about 15-minute walk from Matsushima station (a bit uphill, but not bad)"

"Excellent resort beautiful views from ocean view room and the lobby area. We did half board and buffet style breakfast and dinner were excellent. The hotel is situated on top of a steep hill so walking into the town is not an option but the hotel provides free shuttle service which is very convenient."

"This ryokan was exceptional in terms of service and cleaniness. The dinners served in the room were SO GOOD! I stayed 3 nights and each night was an entirely new spread of delicious samplings of the best of Yamagata's food: tender morsels of Yamagata beef, fresh sashimi, pearly shiney Yamagata rice etc., kept being served and there wasnt a night I felt hungry in the middle of the night. The room was elegantly furnished. The massage chair was a definite plus! In-room onsen was terrific. I do not think the public onsen outside of the hotel were great. It was small, way too hot and very crowded, and you'll have to pay onsen tax to use it. Stick to the hotel onsen in their basement which is way bigger and will not boil your skin off. They rotate the timings for use of the onsen for men n women, so do take note of that. Breakfast buffet options were pretty basic, so i did not quite enjoy the food. Bedding: futons were somewhat old and very thin, and even stained (blood?) I had to stack 2 futons for extra comfort. All the minus points aside, this hotel has the best staff. In particular, employee Rina was a real darling! She went above and beyond the call of duty when she served me my dinners, making every effort to recommend foods or sights around Yamagata. Upon checkout, the concierge even handed me a handwritten note from her. That totally warmed my heart! I highly recommend this ryokan to all who visit Mogami. Thank u for being one of the best hotels I'd ever stayed in.!"

"I loved the breakfast. It was the best breakfast i have ever had in Japan."

"Japanese breakfast, friendly staff."

"Good ryokan style hotel with in room welcoming onsen type wooden bath available in addition to a public onsen. A good kaiseki dinner is included in a private dining room. A buffet style breakfast is also included though it is not as good as the dinner. Friendly, helpful staff. "

"Great location near station, only a 2-min walk, stayed there to visit Hiraizumi and catch the shinkansen to Hakodate the next morning. Super convenient. Lobby smelled of cigarette. Room is dated. "

"Very comfortable and helpful staff"
