You have to understand the area you are in, and this is pretty rural Japan. So, for such an area this was a great hotel. Clean, helpful staff, very good breakfast included. And, hot bath area if that is your thing. Perfect location right by the station but super quiet. The beds are traditional Japan style so VERY firm. We enjoyed our stay!!

Small, but great

We were surprised at how small the room was when we arrived, but believe that is just the way of things in Japan. Everything else was nice and I was amazed at how well the space was utilized. We didn't miss anything we needed. They had everything we needed there even though it was so small. They provide pajamas and slippers (both solid and disposable) to use while there as well as Q-tips, toothbrushes and several other individually packaged things that I didn't really look at. It was cleaned very nicely each day and we enjoyed the breakfast as it allowed us to try many Japanese style dishes.

Ok hotel near the station.

The location of the hotel is good for Tsuruoka station, although the center of town is a little bit farther away. Perfect for a stop-over before dewa sanzan, since the busses leave nearby. The room was ok, small but clean and comfortable. The breakfast was quite good too.

A not very inviting entry to a hotel. Pleasant people. With hot bath. Restaurant in the evening was quiet. Food was ok.

It will do.

There weren't many options in Tsuruoka. This place had free parking and was near the station, but there were no dining options nearby. Breakfast was decent, worth 400 yen.
