Kami no yama Azumaya

スタッフの皆さんが優しくしてくださり、またチェックインの時のフロントの方が面白くて、山形に行ってやっと山形弁が聞けて嬉しく思いました。

部屋の空調が寒かったです。 普通のエアコンタイプではないので自分で調節する事ができませんでした。

Close to the JR station. Nice and clean.

Too warm. Turned the heater off but didn’t make much difference

お風呂。入りまくり元気になりました。

This is a tired hotel in a declining onsen town. I paid a high price for the tiny room I got. The onsen was great though.Spacious. Happy hour good too with locally crafted beers and varieties of fruit sake. Breakfast buffet was a discovery for a Western stomach. An unusual opportunity to observe how individuals and families behave. A good thing is that the (free of charge!) Green Echo bus stops right outside the hotel to take you to Okama's Crater. I was not lucky with the weather and saw nothing but wind and rain but the quaint station up there was very atmospheric. Glad to be the only Westerner in town. Found, on a receptionist's recommendation, a lovely place to eat: Saku. Good to see heaps of school kids rushing into the hotel on Saturday night. They were coming for a judo competition. Observe how different they are to Western teenager crowds. Great cultural experience to be able to witness it all. Worth the slight disappointment in view of the expectations arising from the hotel's advertisement.

The room + see above.
