Yamagata Guesthouse

Stay at our inn, in a renovated former prefectural high school, and experience life in our town

Our guesthouse is in the Murayama Nigiwai Souzou Kasseika facility Link MURAYAMA (former Prefectural Tateoka Senior High School).
Our concept is based on a guesthouse that is convenient, casual to stay at, and has ample shared spaces, similar to those found overseas. The facilities include an office, cafe, and co-working space, which local residents and office workers also use.
At Yamagata Guesthouse, we “share” everything with the townspeople as if we were local residents.

Murayama City in Yamagata Prefecture is a peaceful town with great access to the prefecture’s tourist attractions.
Link MURAYAMA is also used for events such as markets.

“Share” everything! Stay at the Yamagata Guesthouse, where we all get along and share everything.
You can even experience farming!

In the shared space, you can relax freely, play nostalgic games, etc.

Rice Paddy Trails
Enjoy the changing seasons as you walk through the rice paddies: mizu-kagami water mirrors in the spring, luscious green in the summer, golden hues in the fall, and white, snow-covered fields in the winter.

Farming work is so fun and exciting. Try it out with your cheerful friends.
