Ryokans in Tsuruoka

Terence Australia

What a great find this place was. A very traditional Japanese guest house with ultra friendly and accommodating hosts. This property has been in their family for generations and they go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The meals were excellent and there was an English explanation for each dish served 😊. A big bonus is the short walk to the stairs to climb Mt Haguro. (Not that that makes the stairs any easier!) We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay here!

Of all the hotels and ryokans I stayed at during my two weeks traveling Japan, the night at Tsukasaya Ryokan was by far my favorite. Mrs. Shoji personally came out and greeted me at my taxi. From that moment onward, I felt as if I was receiving an experience personalized just for me. After showing me to my room, Mrs. Shoji informed me of several local attractions (parks, shrines, temples, etc.) that were lovely to visit prior to returning for dinner. Every moment of the stay felt thoughtfully crafted and authentic. The food was delicious, containing many dishes that I had never before experienced. The onsen, while small and enclosed, was at just the right temperature and left my skin feeling the best it has in years. The design of the structure was charming and authentic (as best that a foreigner like myself can judge). The staff were friendly and accommodating.

We had a lovely stay at Hagurokan. Excellent Japanese hospitality- we felt very welcomed and cared for. The ryokan itself is beautiful, and the traditional meals were so good. Every dish was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend!

The traditional ryokan hot springs experience in a beautiful location and at a bargain price.

Very clean, friendly staff, delicious food, accommodating for children. While English is not spoken there they went above and beyond using translator apps to tell us about the meals. We had a bathroom with a private onsen which was relaxing and easy to use and our room had a beautiful view of the sea.

Friendly staff, comfy bed, nice amenities, designated parking spot, coffee provided on lobby floor for limited hours. Easy access to the onsen. Really enjoyed the breakfast - worth the price. Nicely designed hotel and recommended to those looking for a place to stay in Tsuruoka.
