Guest Reviews
- Kannika (9/5): - อาหารคุ้มค่าเกินราคา พนักงานให้บริการดีมาก ใส่ใจในการยริการมีน้ำใจกับผู้เข้าพัก ห้องอาบน้ำส่วนตัวบางห้องไม่มีชุดสบู่ แชมพูเพื่อทำความสะอาดร่างกายก่อนลงแช่น้ำ
- SATOSHI (10/5): また宿泊しに来ます。 - 食事も温泉も最高でした。 特にありません。
- Alejandro (10/5): - It was a luxury ryokan experience at a very affordable price point. The baths were really nice, and there was a complementary option to book one private bath stance. The room was way spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was top notch. Great experience overall, and very nice as a relaxing spot after touring around Japan. It is a short walk away (about 20 mins) from the train station so keep that in mind if you're traveling with luggage.
- Wassana (9/5): -
- Eiko (10/5): - なによりお料理が素晴らしかったです(^^)
夕食も朝食もほんとにおいしかったです。
スタッフもみなさん良い方でした。
アットホームな雰囲気で、対応していただくこちらもホッコリしてしまいました。
また、チェックアウト後にお土産やさんに寄ってたためホテルを出るのが遅くなったにも関わらず、何人もの従業員さんにお見送りいただき逆に申し訳ない気持ちになりました。
でも、うれしかったです。
お部屋もきれいでしたし、食事も人数の関係で部屋食ではないものの個室でゆっくりできました。
またそちらへ行く機会があれば是非宿泊したいと思ってます。
- Yeok Kuan (10/5): - Room very nicely renovated, new and clean. Small eatery outside the hotel (around the coner) very delicious bbq beef and the price really cheap. Onsen is very nice. Nothing
- Victoire (10/5): -
- Tidawad (8/5): - พนักงานช่วยเหลือดี บ่อน้ำพุดาดฟ้า น้ำร้อนเกินไป
- HENG (8/5): 17days Tohoku Trip - Clean and spacious room with good customer service. The half-board meals were delicious with great variety and no repetition during our 3-day stay. Only downside was the open space private onsen on the 7th Floor, there are no wash-up facilities before or after use. open space private onsen on the 7th Floor, there are no wash-up facilities before or after use.
- Laksami (8/5): ออนเซน ดี อาหารดี ห้องกว้าง มีพนักงานคนไทย ดูแลดีเยี่ยม - ห้องกว้างสะดวกสบาย ไกลจาก แหล่งshopping และ convenience store

- ジョン (10/5): - Me and my partner stayed for 1 night at Arimakan and we both really enjoyed our stay. Both the private rental and public hot springs we very nice and relaxing.
The room itself was quite cozy and clean, the view outside the window was pleasant, looking at the quiet town with the mountains in the background was a beautiful sight.
The food was delicious and your typical Japanese dinner and breakfast set, that they will bring to your room at the set time you select.
I recommend Arimakan to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway to unwind and relax.

- Shaheed (10/5): Comfortable space, clean facilities, delicious food, rejuvenating experience. - An amazing stay at a family run establishment. A warm and hospitable staff, great pools, and delicious food. Cannot reccomend enough. Off the usual tourist path, well worth a visit. Dreaming of returning soon:) nothing!!
- Thanachai (10/5): It was a very impressive hotel. All the staff are friendly and helpful .Breakfast and dinner was served in the comfortab - Staff
Private Onsen
Dinner Nothing
- Rick (10/5): Exceptional - The room was amazing, the dinner and breakfast served in our room was outstanding with accommodation for my wife dietary requirements. Everything was great!!. Nothing
- Oskar (10/5): Really good experience, highly recommended! - It was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful, always going above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Dinner was a truly cool experience, featuring exquisite Japanese cuisine that was both authentic and delicious. The onsen was also exceptional, providing a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The overall vibe of the hotel was inviting and warm, making it a perfect retreat. Highly recommended!
- Peter (9/5): Superb - Great place to stay, close to the castle. The room was relatively large and spotless. The price of the room included one free use of the private rooftop onsen, which has a view of the mountains. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Will recommend.
- Chin (9/5): Value for money full service ryokan - For the price I paid, the quality of food exceeds expectation so were the hot springs. My only grouse is the pillows were not the traditional buck wheat pillows I expected. Meals were served in the room which has a separate sitting and dining area from the bed room. The Yonezawa beef came with a price but it is well worth paying for. A very nice 2-day stay. The pillows.
- Veronica (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
The bedroom was spacious and comfortable.
We tried the private onsen and it was also an amazing experience.
We ordered to have dinner and breakfast in our room and it was an amazing feast! They even catered vegetarian for us which is a huge bonus in Japan. It was our fault not to ask the price of dinner before ordering it, but it was extortionately overpriced.
- Zdenka (10/5): Great hospitality, exceptionally tasty and amazing meals. Definitely recommended. - The place was amazing. Beautiful and large room, very comfortable. We absolutely loved the food, especially the Yamagata wagyu! It was delicious and the meals were so beautiful and plentiful. We bought many items from the hotel gift shop - they carry very nice souvenirs. Rooftop outdoor private onsen for free - an amazing addition to an already wonderful stay.
- Mallory (10/5): Couldn’t find better both for size and friendliness. - This hotel was absolutely lovely. It was clean and spacious. It was more traditional than some of the previous places and that is exactly what we were looking for. After 2 weeks in Japan, we used this location for a rest day. The Hot Spring baths and Onsen were beautiful and gorgeous. Perfect for what we were looking for. The staff also seemed to go above and beyond for us in every way. Property was great in all ways. There was a restaurant (not owned by them) right around the corner with amazing traditional cook the food yourself. But the rest of the town was lacking in accurate open and close times for restaurants which made it difficult to locate dinner on some nights.
- Berryman (10/5): Exceptional -
- Narong (10/5): Staff very nice and good service - Onsen very good No
- Lucas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Long (10/5): Exceptional - lovely stay!! a little bit old but not a big matter

- Gregory (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gregory (10/5): A friendly onsen home away from home. - Really nice ganbanyoku - heated stone to lie on. Rooms very spacious, and had mattresses. Meals were delicious.
- Timothy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (10/5): This place was amazing , great staff ,great view and the Onsen where magnificent. I will be staying here again next year - The rooms where amazing , very clean and with a great view. There was nothing that I didn’t like about the place.
- きょうこ (10/5): - お風呂が広くて良かったです。
お食事もおいしかったです。
また利用したいです。
- Stefanie (10/5): Amazing stay with the nicest staff - Staying here was more than perfect. The room was so nice and the baths were amazing. I could even book a private Onsen. The staff was so nice, helpful and accommodating, they helped me with everything. Since I am vegetarian they even went all the way to make me vegetarian meals which were so so good! I would definitely stay here again, I enjoyed it very much.
- Ekapat (10/5): Exceptional -
- L (9/5): Arimakan - Very courteous and friendly staff. Free shuttle to and from hotel to station
- Tara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alexander (8/5): Very good -
- Vera (10/5): Friendly staff and great onsen experiences - My family had an absolutely lovely stay for one night at this ryokan. We in particular enjoyed the outdoor private (!) onsen (as it is normally a little bit too hot for me to bathe in onsen the cold air from being outside in winter was great), and the staff was incredibly friendly and accomodating. We got help with bringing our luggage to the station when we checked out, and they offered to help out if we ever ran into any trouble on our travels through northern Japan.
I would definitely recommend booking the dinner and breakfast option at least once, for a chance to try local specialities and enjoy the beautiful presentation of traditional Japanese food.
Kudos to the wonderful staff, I will be recommending Arimakan to any friends thinking of visiting Yamagata!
- Ashley (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jian (10/5): Exceptional - staffs are willing to help us. They are beyond my expection
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great quality of facility and staff with the price.
- Verified traveler (4/5): 宿泊客が到着前に部屋のチェックを徹底して欲しい。。。。。 - 妻の両親との旅行で2部屋を予約しましたが、両親の部屋はエアコンが煩過ぎてテレビの聞こえず、部屋を替えてもらったのですが、その部屋もリモコンの電池が切れたのかリモコンが使えず、テレビも消すにも本体でスイッチを切ってチェックアウト。散々な宿泊でした。
- Jasmine (8/5): - The hotel provides pick up at the station. Just make a call and they will reach the station in 3 minutes. Everything is very good. They even offer to fetch us to nearby supermarket.
The dinner and breakfast portion are a lot and delicious.
- piyachat (10/5): Excellent hotel - Nice and clean hotel. Delicious dinner and breakfast. Have private onzen. Not far from station. Excellent staff. Will come back again.
