Pension Stella stands in the quiet mountain village of Kamiyama in Yamagata Prefecture. From this inn surrounded by abundant nature, you can enjoy the scenic beauty of the mountains and the changing seasons. Please spend a relaxing time with handmade dishes using local ingredients and exceptional hospitality.
The view from Pension Stella is truly breathtaking. Outside the window, the majestic Zao mountain range spreads out, showing a variety of mountain colors depending on the season. You will be able to feel the changing of the seasons firsthand—spring's fresh greenery, summer's forest bathing, autumn's fall foliage, and winter's snowscapes.
The owner couple's homemade dishes, made with great care, are exquisite. They feature a lineup of delicacies using Yamagata's local blessings such as rice, vegetables, and the hot springs of Gassan Shizu Onsen. Particularly popular are the juices and jams made with mountain grapes and La France pears, which spread the rich flavors of fruits.
When you want to relax, we recommend taking a dip in the reserved open-air bath of Gassan Shizu Onsen. You can fully refresh both your mind and body by leisurely soaking in the water. There are also dogs residing in the pension, and their adorable figures will warm your heart.
Located about a 40-minute drive from the nearest JR Yonezawa Station, and a 10-minute walk from Zao Bus Terminal. While being a convenient base for Zao sightseeing, the charm of this inn lies in its ability to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle. With shuttle service available, you do not need to worry about access.
In this hidden gem embraced by nature, please spend a relaxing time to your heart's content.
