                    Simply amazing!”

                    My stay at the Takasagoya Ryokan was just what I needed to refresh my body and mind in these stressful times. The food was downright delicious, with lots of local and seasonal cuisine. The location was nice and central, and you could wander around the lovely onsen town at your whim. And the service! Oh my gosh, the folks running this onsen are so welcoming, kind, and helpful. I truly can not recommend this place enough! I’m already looking forward to returning again at the next opportunity 😊

                    Run by an elderly couple who's very welcoming to guest & helpful. If you decided to stay here, do not forget to order dinner since it's very awesome. When I checked out I forgot that the room key is still in my pocket and has to asked the bus driver to return to them. Apologize for the inconvenience.

                    The room is big and clean. The onsen in the hotel is nice and comfortable. You can not use soap in the public onsen outside the hotel. The hotel owners are willing to provide any assistance you need. For example, I can not find any shop that sells apple and strawberry then I ask help for that to the hotel owner, he gave me one bag with 5 sweet apple in 10 minutes!!! It is a wonderful stay in the hotel. I will come to this hotel again if I go snowboarding again in Zao!

                    I had a great first ryokan experience here—the staff was super kind and accommodating and spoke enough English to help me out. I requested a vegetarian breakfast and it was so delicious. Since it was raining (very lightly actually) on the morning of my departure, they insisted on driving me the 2 blocks to the bus station. So nice. I loved the outdoor onsen and taking the ropeway up the mountain to hike around. Highly recommend.

                    super séjour dans ce ryokan. je suis arrivée par bus depuis Yamagata, et le ryokan est à 2min à pied. Ensuite, excellent et très copieux diner, possibilité de profiter du bain du ryokan, et des bains publics via des tickets fournis par le ryokan. ceux ci sont à 2 min à pied idem, et bien sympathiques. Petit déjeuner de même copieux et de très bonne qualité, diversifié. la chambre était confortable et bien équipée. Les hotes sont très accueillants, et on sent qu'ils ont envie que l'on soit bien. Le fils qui gère l'hotel parle très bien anglais, sa maman qui gère les repas non, mais au pire il y a google translator. wifi dans la chambre.
