Find the Cheap Nanyo Hotels

If you are only able to have one luxury experience in life, make it a stay at the Takinami Ryokan, for as many nights as you can. It is easily accessible by train from Tokyo or Sendai, and this provides many opportunities to explore the local area. I can’t give more than five stars for the service, and the staff deserves it. Visiting from outside Japan, we were very glad that all of the staff was happy to interact with us. Even before we arrived, the staff reached out to us to confirm details and to ensure our stay would be spectacular. A shuttle was provided to pick us up at the station, and our shuttle driver was the President’s brother, who told us about the town and history of the area and the ryokan. We instantly felt welcome! We were warmly greeted upon arrival and provided several options for a welcome drink and a snack as we reviewed our check-in details and selected the times for our activities during our stay. We were then given a tour of the facility as we were shown to our rooms. The room was clean and as beautiful as the pictures from the website. We had a private onsen for the room, which was incredibly convenient and enjoyable. There is a public onsen available for guests as well. The beds were very comfortable and the facility has been beautifully renovated while maintaining its historical beauty and charm. Lounge clothes of two different styles (several designs/colors for each) were provided for use throughout our stay. The food was phenomenal, and I ate every bite. I cannot say enough about our dining experiences for dinner and breakfast (both included), so I will just say it was some of the best food I’ve had in my life, and the counter dining experience was beyond amazing. I have been looking for a “chef’s table” type experience and this exceeded my expectations. I did not expect to be provided so many opportunities for experience during our stay, but they provided many. We got to see the soba noodles (very special flour) made for us before we were served them for dinner. We were provided a site seeing tour the following morning (spoken in Japanese) on their beautiful bus, with a stop atop the mountain for some coffee and juice in the clouds. While I don’t speak Japanese (my wife is my translator) the experience was one I will cherish for the rest of my life, and the joy and passion with which the stories were shared makes me wish I did understand Japanese (time was taken to ensure important details were provided in English, and I’d never have expected everything to be repeated for me). President Minami-san took a lot of time throughout our stay to speak with us and the other guests, so we felt very cared for. If you’re looking for an amazing time in Japan, look no further. We will be back on our next trip and for a longer stay, and while we have a lot more time in Japan now, our next visit can’t come soon enough. To everyone at Takinami Ryokan, thank you so much for this magical experience!

I went to Akayu Onsen Yamatoya in Yamagata Prefecture on a girls' trip for the first time in a long time. I was worried about the snow, but I was able to arrive safely. I booked a room between famous trees. It is a Japanese-style room with a calm feeling. There is a room bath (semi-open-air bath in a hot spring), and you can take it 24 hours at any time. There are Roman baths and rock baths in the hall, each of which has an emotional atmosphere, and I was able to take all the hot water just right. The tiredness of the trip was blown away at once. There was snow outside and bathing while watching the snow was the best luxury. The main dinner is Yamagata beef sukiyaki. I am impressed with the delicious meat that melts in my mouth. I was full for breakfast. The handmade cancer was delicious as itamae-san made it unlike the one I always eat. The landlady was a friendly person and came to greet me at dinner. It was a great vacation to soak in the hot springs and eat delicious food and touch the warmth of people. I thought it would be good when the cherry blossoms bloom this time. Color 々 Thank you for your help.

The room is very clean, it is better to have a richer breakfast.

I was taken care of with my parents for the first time. It was a hot spring as a reputation, but the evaluation of the inn will fall depending on the following. It was good to have food, service, staff, hot water and any of them, so please improve only ２ points. ① Blue sheet in the courtyard (which is on the wood so that it doesn't get wet in snow) → Yes, but the blue sheet is cheap and will image the disaster. Change color, please move elsewhere. ② No dinner writing → The meal was very good in the private room, but there is no writing. It is also a recreational center now. How many kinds of food came out, and it was a pity that I didn't know exactly what it was now.
