At Tendou Onsen, the only property where you can enjoy two types of natural Onsen and savor the four seasons of Yamagata.
Yuno Ka Matsunoyu is a traditional Japanese Ryokan with an Onsen, located in the heart of the hot spring town yet maintaining a serene and verdant ambiance. For over 90 years since its opening, it has been cherished as a warm and welcoming property. The charming building harmonizes with its surroundings, offering a tranquil and relaxing experience.
I’ve loved this Accommodation since before my child was born, and even after having a child we continue to stay here regularly. It’s a bit far from Tokyo, but since our child enjoys driving too, we come by car and make a few stops along the way. We have a favorite Room, so every time we arrive I feel like I’m coming back home, and it’s always incredibly relaxing. Both my husband and I love the Octagonal Bath—both the water quality and the atmosphere are outstanding. And above all, the food is exceptional. We love Onsen and have stayed at many high-end Ryokan across The whole country, but none of their meals come close to Matsunoyu’s… The head chef is truly amazing. I sincerely hope they will stay for a long time and that nothing ever changes. Everyone on staff is genuinely kind, and our child also said, “Let’s go again!” The cat in the garden is absolutely adorable too, and it makes me so happy when we get to see it. Thank you very much for everything. We look forward to seeing you all again soon.
温泉マニア. 3/19/2026I stayed here last year and returned this year to stay in the same Room. It’s a Ryokan that feels like coming back to my family home. The gentleman who welcomed me kept a straight face, but it has its own charm. All the staff greeted me politely every time, which made me happy. This time I injured my foot and told them I couldn’t sit on the floor, and they kindly provided a chair, which was a big help. Thank you very much. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. It’s wonderful that the meals can be prepared in the Room. Every staff member is truly kind. The bath in the Room was also very relaxing, and my body felt much better afterward. This is an Accommodation that makes me want to come back once a month. I will definitely visit again, and I look forward to seeing you then.
