Kaminoyama Onsen [Yamagata]
Just two and a half hours from Tokyo by bullet train, you will reach a pastoral landscape of Yamagata, which is loved by many discerning travelers. Mr. Reischauer, the former US ambassador to Japan, described it as "another Japan" meaning that Yamagata is a beautiful land which brings one's mind back to how Japan used to be in the old days. Kaminoyama-Onsen is a peaceful hot spring town with a scenic view of Zao mountains that perfectly fits Mr. Reischauer's words.
Meigetsuso is an elegant and luxurious ryokan with only twenty rooms in a vast area of land. Each room is separated like a cottage with privacy. All the rooms have a small dining room to enjoy breakfast at your pace. Meigetsuso also has a "kura", a wine cellar with special sakes and wines. Selecting the perfect one for your dinner will be enjoyable. Innovative ideas from overseas resort hotels harmoniously blending with Japanese traditional elements is the reason for the ryokan's popularity. You can also feel warm hospitality throughout its services. You can fully enjoy your time spent at this resort ryokan at a leisurely pace.
