Tsukaya Ryokan is a accommodation with a history of over 300 years. All rooms feature tatami (woven-straw) floors.

Guests can enjoy meals and sake rice wine in a private dining room, or have a soak in the hot spring bath on site, boasting free flowing spring water retrieved directly from the spring source.

Of all the hotels and ryokans I stayed at during my two weeks traveling Japan, the night at Tsukasaya Ryokan was by far my favorite. Mrs. Shoji personally came out and greeted me at my taxi. From that moment onward, I felt as if I was receiving an experience personalized just for me. After showing me to my room, Mrs. Shoji informed me of several local attractions (parks, shrines, temples, etc.) that were lovely to visit prior to returning for dinner. Every moment of the stay felt thoughtfully crafted and authentic. The food was delicious, containing many dishes that I had never before experienced. The onsen, while small and enclosed, was at just the right temperature and left my skin feeling the best it has in years. The design of the structure was charming and authentic (as best that a foreigner like myself can judge). The staff were friendly and accommodating.

We stayed only one night as the conclusion of our trip in Yamagata prefecture. People from Tsuruoka are the kindness and it was confirmed by the staff of this hotel that did everything they could to make us happy. As being vegan, they prepared a special breakfast for me which was delicious. We had to leave early in the morning and they prepared it before the opening of the restaurant which was lovely. The hotel is beautiful, the room was very spacious. The onsen is amazing as well. We had a great time and we will definitely come back! Thanks again.

I had an excellent view of the Japan Sea. My room was big and spacious and felt unique with traditional tatami and wooden floors. The private onsen with sauna and dry room was wonderful! I regret not using it both nights. The staff was helpful and friendly. I enjoyed their self serve coffee/beverage station with tables overlooking their beautiful Japanese garden on the terrace. They also offer cute little treats to eat with your drink which I thought was so lovely.

Looking for a property with onsen?

Featuring traditional Japanese hot springs known as ‘onsen’, these hotels allow you to take a relaxing soak in therapeutic geothermal waters. Traditionally, onsens were located outdoors but a number of hotels also offer indoor facilities for private or shared use. The healing properties of each onsen will vary depending on its location, with ‘kuroyu’ black water known for its positive effects on skin.

    Have been to numerous onsen stay in Japan, this one ranks one of the best if not the best. The set dinner is overwhelming, the service is the best I have encountered in all my stay; After we have checked out of the hotel & as we were early for the public bus, we waited at hotel open area. The staff came to confirm our bus timing & specially made some traditional Japanese tea & served it with candies too. The thoughtful service really made our day. Thank you.

    The private onsen in the room is amazing! The window can be fully opened and we enjoy the mountain view and fresh air so much. Tachibahana location is great too. We can take a pleasant walk along the Atsui river and experience the mountain village life.

    The breakfast buffet was amzing, especially the miso soup! They even have a nice and clean hot spring bath. I like how they value the environment and promote eco cleaning (You get a free drink if you choose eco cleaning).

    We stayed at the room with toilet and bath. The room is new and clean. The shared bathrooms on the first floor are small but also very clean. The onsen water is not too cold or too warm. The breakfast is also very enjoyable. The ryokan owners are kind. This is a nice experience.

    I personally think it’s worthwhile staying beautiful wooden building. There’re spaces that feel the warmth of woods. Especially I enjoyed taking bath in the morning and evening time. At the night, maybe you can enjoy seeing the star covered sky under beautiful hot spring.
