I definitely recommend Yamagata Guesthouse. The bedroom is clean and comfortable, there’s a locker for big luggage and a good heating system. There’s good shower/bathroom installations and the kitchen is spacious and very well equipped (both located on the ground floor). Also, the staff is friendly and welcoming, they own a mochi shop that I recommend checking it out! It is located in Link Murayama, a renovated Prefectural school and during the day is open to the public. You can search it and see how interesting the place is! The time I was there, they offered free transportation to the beautiful Ginzan Onsen!! Which was greatly appreciated. Thank you for the lovely time I spent there!

What an absolute gem! They’ve done a great job of repurposing an old high school into this guesthouse/community centre/gym/restaurant. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming it felt like home. The beds are comfortable and private, bathrooms clean and kitchen well equipped. There’s some great recommendations for hikes around the area which are well worth checking out. The pizza at the restaurant downstairs is absolutely amazing!

The staff were incredible. From giving restaurant recommendations to driving us to the onsen they went above and beyond. The place felt homely and safe, couldn’t recommend more.

The staff were amazing and really made me feel welcome and went out of their way to help me organise day trips and dinner reservations.

Staff was extremely welcoming and nice, I am really happy I got to spend some time with them. The location is great- it's close to the station and the whole accomodation is cozy. Indeed the bathroom is on a different floor, but I didn't have problems with hot water or anything so that's more important for me. It can get a bit cold on the halls of the building, but inside the common spaces and rooms it was warm enough. Towels and laundry are available to rent and you can use the big kitchen they have. The bagel breakfast they offered was actually with good bread.

Besides the good quality of the facilities and the really nice host, staying at this place was just a great experience in general! It's located in a renovated school and it was really cool to explore this place, see the rooms and corridors, and relax at the nice cafe and lobby at the entrance. The host was really warm and friendly and the guesthouse on the 3rd floor had a cozy feeling to it. People may stay here for Ginzan Onsen, but the city Murayama itself is really nice, I just liked walking around the streets and enjoying the background view of the hills, felt so peaceful.
