Nestled in the rich natural surroundings of Yamagata's mountainous area, Sakataya Ryokan is located in Yuya-cho. Here, you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the Sea of Japan and the atmosphere of an old hot spring resort, making it a truly timeless retreat. Forget the hustle and bustle of the city, and step into an extraordinary world away from the everyday.
The prime seat of the inn is the view from the room overlooking the sea. The wide expanse of nature's breathtaking view unfolds by the window. The colors of the sea painted by the setting sun in the Pacific, the soothing sound of the tide and the cries of the seabirds resonate pleasantly in the ears. At night, gaze at the faint light of a distant lighthouse and the starry sky, and lose track of time in the tranquility.
The local flavors cherished by the inn are all about savoring the taste of Yamagata. Home-cooked dishes using abundant fresh seafood have a gentle flavor with deep richness. The specialty dish, crab soup, which pairs perfectly with local sake, is a must-try.
For relieving the fatigue of everyday life, soaking in the open-air bath of the inn is recommended. The location, with a view of the sea from the naturally heated hot spring, promises an open and relaxing atmosphere. Bathing in the morning and evening, you can surely refresh both your mind and body.
The main access to Sakataya Ryokan is about a 10-minute drive from JR Ubusuke Line Fukiura Station. From the Tohoku Shinkansen to Shinjo Station, a car ride of about an hour and a half is the standard. Within walking distance from the inn, there is the central street of Yuya-cho, where you can enjoy strolling through the small town.
