Tendo Hotel: A Quest for Authentic Taste

Dinner was truly delicious, just as the Accommodation’s name suggests. All 12 beautifully presented small dishes were excellent, and opening the wooden box was genuinely moving. When making the Reservation this time, I forgot to mention that neither of us likes pickles, but when I brought it up at check-in (not expecting much), they had our request from our previous stay on record and had already arranged different dishes for us—I was really impressed. The Room was also very clean, with a perfect size and layout, and we were completely satisfied.The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of items, and I was surprised to find freshly grilled steak. The imoni stew was delicious as well.I would definitely like to stay again.

We wanted to stay in Ginzan Onsen, but everywhere was fully booked and we couldn’t find an Accommodation there.Then we came across a Review saying that Accommodations in Tendo Onsen are even better than Ginzan, and after searching, we chose this Hotel.What decided it for us was the spacious Room and the lounge. We have teenage brother and sister siblings, and I thought it would be tough for them to spend all their time together as a family, so we were really drawn to having separate sleeping areas, plus an appealing lounge where they could relax outside the Room. After staying here, my daughter spent all her time in the lounge except during meals—enjoying manga, the massage chairs, drinks, and nuts. We packed a lot into our 1-night/2-day trip (Yamadera, a walk around Ginzan Onsen, and Yamagata City), but she said her time at the Hotel was the most fun.As for me, I especially loved how wonderful the Onsen was. I was happy to be able to enjoy it slowly and peacefully on my own while my daughter did her own thing.With seasonal flowers arranged throughout the building and thorough cleaning everywhere, this was a lovely Accommodation with attentive staff.We’d love to stay again during the snowy season.
