Super Hotel Yamagata’s 3 Free Services
① Natural Hot Spring: Hanakasa no Yu
- Water type: Sodium chloride–bicarbonate hot spring (light brown)
- Hours: 15:00 to 9:30 the next morning (unlimited entries)
- Benefits: Said to help with poor circulation, fatigue recovery, and skin health
Reset your body after a day of fishing or sightseeing in a genuine natural hot spring. The light brown water feels silky against your skin, and you can really feel the difference the next morning — your skin stays noticeably smooth. Another great perk: you can soak as many times as you like from check-in to check-out.
② Free Breakfast Buffet
- Hours: 6:30 to 9:00 (daily)
- Menu: Organic salad, Yamagata-grown rice, imoni soup (a local taro-and-beef stew), tamakonnyaku (skewered konjac), bread, and more
Getting to eat rice grown right here in Yamagata alongside the local specialty imoni soup is one of the real joys of the trip. The quality is honestly hard to believe for a business hotel breakfast.
③ Welcome Bar (Free Drinks)
- Hours: 15:00 to 21:00 (alcohol served from 18:00)
- Offerings: Beer, wine, and a variety of soft drinks
- Price: Free
Free beer right after check-in — it doesn’t get much better for a traveler. You can unwind from a day of fishing or sightseeing with a drink before dinner.
