Yumemino Yado Kansokan

The charm of Kansokan lies in its highly acclaimed cuisine.

Our cuisine features locally sourced ingredients from Yamagata, allowing guests to experience the essence of the region's four seasons. We carefully select seasonal ingredients categorized as "early season," "peak season," and "late season" to provide a rich culinary experience within each seasonal period. In addition to traditional local dishes, our menu is based on Japanese cuisine while incorporating techniques and flavors from Western and Chinese cuisines for a diverse dining experience. We value the fundamentals of Japanese cooking: "five tastes," "five colors," and "five methods." By blending tradition with creativity under the philosophy of “cherishing the past while embracing innovation,” we strive to craft dishes that bring joy to our guests.

The Onsen large public bath and open-air bath offer water that warms you to the core. The spring quality is gentle on the skin and is said to be effective for seniors and recovery after illness. From beyond the steam, you can hear the soothing murmur of Oguni River... Forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and relax at your leisure.

Located along the scenic stream of the Oguni River, Semi Onsen is steeped in legend, said to have been discovered by Yoshitsune and his party while fleeing Minamoto no Yoritomo's forces on their way to Hiraizumi. It is believed that Yoshitsune's wife, Gōzen, went into labor during their journey, and Benkei found a hot spring for her first bath. During the Edo period, Semi Onsen flourished as a retreat for the lords of the Tozawa Domain (present-day Shinjō City) and later gained fame as a therapeutic hot spring destination due to its high-quality waters.
