About

Yamagata The Takinami in Akayu Kaminoyama Onsen showcases a stunning blend of history and modernity, having been renovated into an elegant contemporary space by relocating and restoring a 350-year-old building. All guest rooms feature private open-air hot spring baths, with the special SAKURA type rooms offering the magical experience of viewing cherry blossoms while soaking in therapeutic waters. The culinary experience is equally impressive, with meals prepared using fresh Yamagata ingredients served with a sense of live performance in the open kitchen, where the dedicated owner personally welcomes guests and guides them through an exceptional dining journey that many consider worth a trip to Japan in itself.
