    登山帰りに汗を流しに立ち寄るのに便利な場所にあります。 温泉は硫黄臭などの温泉らしさはなく、いわゆるよくある塩泉という印象。 土日は地元民で混雑していて決して広くないサウナは10人くらい入って密な状態でした。売店も地元の土産物などはあまり置いておらず地元民向きといった施設です。

    Yamagata Tsuruoka-shi Yuatsumi Ko 203

    温海温泉の老舗旅館で、建物は古いが柱や階段に立派な木材を使用している。部屋は和室でトイレは共同です。慣れない人には不向きかもしれません。お風呂は源泉かけ流しで結構熱いので、水で温めて入ります。さっぱりして温まります。料理は食べた事のない食材も出て、日本海も近いので海の幸も美味しいです。品数が豊富でおなかも大満足でした。お値段もお安くでとても良かったです。また訪れてみたい宿です。

Yamagata Areas

around-area-map

Although often overlooked, Yamagata prefecture by no means lacks appeal: the Yamadera temple trail through the mountains, deliciously tender Yonezawa wagyu, and over 100 steaming hot springs, most notably Zao Onsen, await visitors. When winter comes, the snowcapped peaks become dotted with skiers by day and onsen-goers by night, while summer brings the celebration of juicy Yamagata cherries.
