Excellent atmosphere and staff performance”

Feeling like home, sociable staff, Lots of food

The staff invites me to join their dinner, and we have lots of talking about everything. It is great if you like to know more about the local culture and people. Living in this guest house makes me feel I'm a member of the family. Although the location is a little bit far away from the station, I will definitely choose this guesthouse again next time I visit Yamagata.

Incredible value and great hosts!”

We stayed for 1 night a regretted not having more time here! The rooms are spotless and so are the facilities. The common area is cluttered but very inviting and warm. The garden is beautiful. The guys running the place are laid back and friendly, and the dinner with all the other guests was real fun. The conversation at dinner tends to get lively and vibrant, so this may not be suitable for those who seek to call it an early night. This hostel is incredible value for money!

Accueil au top dans cette maison qui est une vraie guesthouse. Plusieurs chambres nickel, 2 salles de bain avec douche et bain, tout est propre, lumineux. La cuisine est à disposition et bien équipée. le soir, on peut partager le repas moyennant contribution ou acheter quelques plats sur place s'il est tard.. L'hote est très accueillant, j'ai apprécié discuté avec lui et les autres personnes hébergées ici. Merci encore pour le prêt de vélo en soirée.
