Hotel • 183-1 Asadachi, Shirataka, Nishiokitama District, Yamagata 992-0852, Japan
Standing in the town of Shirataka in Nishimurayama District, Yamagata Prefecture, NIPPONIA Hakutaka Gennaitei is a unique accommodation facility renovated from a historic residence associated with the former Yonezawa domain. The dispersed storehouses and the main house reflect the pronounced atmosphere of the Taisho era while providing modern comfort.
At Gennaitei, enjoy beautiful scenery that changes with the seasons. In winter, you may even see flocks of swans flying over the Mogami River. The landscape created by the surrounding mountains and the garden within the residence offers a special experience that soothes the soul.
The chef, who holds a sommelier qualification in both wine and sake, creates dishes that are truly exquisite. French cuisine using fresh ingredients from the local Okitama region, paired with Yamagata sake, offers a blissful moment to savor.
The rooms combine Japanese and Western styles, each with its own unique character. From “Enkou,” which retains the flavor of the Taisho era, to “Kurenai no Hachien” renovated from a storehouse, these carefully designed spaces offer a relaxing time. The bathing facilities, including cypress and paulownia bathtubs, are also appealing.
The warm and attentive service of the staff, reflecting the power of the local community, is one of Gennaitei's attractions. Many are moved by the meticulous care taken to support the guests' comfortable stay.
It is about an hour by bus from Yamagata Station or about 10 minutes from Nagai Station, and a 3-minute walk from the bus stop in front of Asadate Post Office. Combined with nearby tourist spots, you can fully enjoy the charm of Yamagata.
NIPPONIA Hakutaka Gennaitei offers a unique accommodation experience that combines historical architecture, modern comfort, and local charm. Enjoy a special time that refreshes both mind and body as you savor the beauty of each season.
