Enjoy Private Hot Springs at a Retro Ryokan in Yutagawa
Yutagawa Onsen originated from the hot springs where a white heron is said to have healed its wounds about 1,300 years ago. At the hot spring inn "Tamaya" located in the Yutagawa Onsen Village, you can enjoy these ancient hot springs in three private baths with the water flowing directly from the source. Another great attraction of the inn is the cuisine, which uses the bountiful ingredients of the Shonai region, the "food capital." Enjoy the chef's careful cooking, which makes the most of local ingredients such as fresh seasonal seafood caught in the Sea of ​​Japan and Shonai rice Tsuyahime and Haenuki. There are eight guest rooms, all of which are relaxing, pure Japanese-style rooms. The retro atmosphere makes this the perfect inn for those looking to spend a peaceful holiday.

Guest Room

Nostalgic Japanese-Style Rooms for a Restful Stay

All rooms are non-smoking and equipped with toilets and washbasins. There are eight rooms in total. There are six 8 tatami rooms and two 10 tatami rooms, all of which have a nostalgic atmosphere and kotatsu tables are available in the winter. Relax and unwind while enjoying a bath and a meal.

Spa

Private Panoramic Bath "Manten"

The historic Yutagawa Onsen can be enjoyed through three private baths, all with natural hot spring water directly from the source. Among them, "Manten" is a semi-open-air bath offering sweeping views of the lush Shonai Plain. Slide open the window and soak in the serene beauty of the surroundings.

Private Cypress Bath "Yugiri"

The private bath "Yugiri" features a large cypress bathtub. The woody scent that permeates the warm space, with wood walls and ceilings, is perfect for soothing the body and mind.

Private Cypress Bath "Asatsuyu"

"Asatsuyu" is slightly smaller than "Yugiri" and has a cypress bathtub that can fit three to four people. It is a private bath recommended for those who want to enjoy a sense of privacy. Why not forget the hustle and bustle and enjoy a quiet bath time by yourself?

Cuisine

Savour the Tastes of Shonai Through Seasonal Delights

With the Sea of ​​Japan stretching out to the west and surrounded by mountains on three sides, the Shonai region is a "food capital" full of seafood and mountain produce. "Tamaya" takes advantage of this location to offer seasonal dishes made with carefully selected local ingredients, each dish handmade to give a sense of the season.

Loyal Guests Return for the Chef’s Local Specialties

The local cuisine prepared by the head chef is highly acclaimed, and some people stay here just for the experience. Guests can enjoy exquisite cuisine that incorporates fresh seasonal seafood caught in the Sea of ​​Japan including winter Shonai specialty cold cod marinated in kelp and nigiri sushi made with red shrimp from Nezumigaseki, as well as meat and vegetables from Shonai.

Start the Day With a Nourishing and Satisfying Breakfast

The traditional Japanese breakfast, which can only be found at a Japanese inn, includes tofu from soy milk, tamagoyaki (egg rolls) cooked every morning, and seasonal grilled fish and vegetable dishes. The seasonal miso soup has different flavors depending on the season, such as mozuku seaweed from Shonai. The rice, made with specially cultivated "Tsuyahime" rice, is exceptional.

A Refined Japanese Restaurant With Timeless Charm

Dinner and breakfast are served in the dining area on the second floor, which is furnished with shoji screens and has a Japanese atmosphere. In the calm atmosphere of the semi-private rooms separated by blinds, you can spend a blissful moment leisurely savoring the delicious food.

Facility

Retro Ambience With a Touch of Taisho Romance

The lobby has a retro feel with a Taisho-era romantic atmosphere, with beams from an old house used for the ceiling. The entire building is filled with the warmth of wood and has been well-received by travelers who love the Japanese atmosphere.

A Peaceful Library Dedicated to Shuhei Fujisawa’s Legacy

The reading room is stocked with books, including those by the novelist Shuhei Fujisawa, who is originally from Tsuruoka City, and there is even a book lending corner in one corner. Spending quiet time immersed in a book in the calm interior of the library is another delightful way to enjoy your stay.
