Hohoemino Kuyufu Tsuruya 4 stars

Tendo Onsen, Tendo

The ryokan offers soothing natural hot spring bath in natural stone tubs and an open-air hot springs bath. A shared lounge features a tatami (woven-straw) floor and view of a Japanese garden. The ryokan also offers free use of bicycles. Love how the traditional Japanese breakfast is presented every morning and not to mention the freshness and taste of the food! The staffs are all very polite, the Onsen is good, and love the massage chair outside the room.

Yamagata The Takinami 3 stars

Akayu Onsen, Nanyo

Boasting garden views, Yamagata The Takinami offers accommodation with balcony, around 32 km from Zao Onsen Ski Resort. There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. Guests also enjoy access to the hot spring bath and beauty services, as well as the public bath and open-air bath. First and foremost: This is not a hotel for extended stay. This is an unforgettable experience for a day. You are expected to mostly stay at this traditional hotel and relax as much as possible. The rooms are spacious, and the beds are comfortable. Each room has its own outside onsen (hot spring bath). Tip: take a room on the first floor, those bathtubs are carved out of a solid block of stone. The water itself is very hot, but feels absolutely divine and did wonders for my skin. The meals are crazy good. The dinner menu was ~10 courses with locally sourced ingredients. The waiter, general manager and owner took turns explaining in intricate detail what each course meant, where it came from, and why they chose to present it to us. I'm pretty sure the owner also mentioned the cook had a Michelin star - which would explain the unconventional, but delicious creations. The breakfast was Japanese-style, and also very good. I'm not sure what else I should add - the intricate eye for detail and attention the staff gave us (I felt so bad seeing the small Japanese woman carry my heavy luggage to my room, but I wasn't allowed to carry it myself, haha); the free bar with the expensive alcohol at night; the modern interpretation of old history... Not to mention the other included amenities: a shuttle bus, an early tour, live soba making, sake tasting [...] It is pricey, but again: you are NOT paying for a simple hotel night, you are paying for an experience. Full recommendation.

Tsukasaya Ryokan 4 stars

Yutagawa Onsen, Tsuruoka

Set in Tsuruoka, 12 km from Kamo Aquarium, Tsukasaya Ryokan features accommodation with a hot spring bath. This 4-star ryokan offers full-day security and luggage storage space. The ryokan offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. 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.
