Mintaro Guesthouse offers an experience which cannot easily be found! After my arrival I was asked to attend dinner with the host, staff and other guests to enjoy food and drinks. The dinner was donation-based and featured a variety of delicious food and some guests even pitched in and would prepare a special dish or offer some top quality sake. I had a wonderful time talking and eating with everyone. It was like being part of a family!

An absolutely gem hidden in Yamagata. The owners are friendly and welcoming and make every effort to make you feel at home and help you find your way around while in Yamagata. Dinner is optional but I wouldn't miss it and was glad that I didn't, beautifully home cooked dishes that were absolutely delicious, with a good selection of drink to accompany it. Close proximity to two train stations makes this a breeze to get to as well. They cultivate a wonderful warm atmosphere which made this among the best stays of my 6 week journey around Japan.

I had the most amazing stay at Mintaro Guesthouse! The facilities were very functional, clean, and handy! The host also cooks dinner at night and let me tell you that it is delicious (there is a donation box for that)! Breakfast is free also! My room was big, clean and comfortable. The staff was lovely and friendly, we got to play the guitar together! I would 1000% recommend this place to anyone who likes cozy places and to connect with people.

This is my second time staying here, and it's probably my favorite accommodation in all of Japan. The staff is incredible, the atmosphere at the place is fantastic, thanks to the shared dinner offered almost every night. The value you get for breakfast+dinner+a twin bed in a super nice room is kinda ridiculous if I'm honest.
Even the fact that it's 15 minute walk from the station is outweighed in my opinion by the fact that you get to pass by the extremely nice castle park on the way.
I genuinely didn't want to leave 😂
Nothing!

The hosts were really welcoming and it felt like being at home. There is the possibility of having dinner with them by paying a free offer.
I really liked the map I found in the room: it was drawn by the hosts and you could find interesting spots in the neighbourhood likes shops, restaurants and cat spots.

Everything. So for 4000yen I get a room to myself (though this is a hostel - unheard of!) with 2 (not 1, 2!) already-made-up (unlike most hostels’) beds, all-you-can eat dinner (including Yamagata specialty: Dashi which the owner prepared just because I asked about it), all-you-can-drink, discounted in-house-sold items, and free amenities (towel, ear plug, toothbrush etc which are charged in most hostels). Simply outstanding. Not even mentioning the warm-heartedness of the owner.
My favorite hostels so far gave me value equivalent to my money. For the first time I feel I got more value from a property than I paid for. Luckily there’s a donation box for dinner…😉
Now, where’s the 6-star rating button?

Highly recommend every travelers coming by Yamagata city to stay this hostel. The owner and staffs were gentle, friendly and respectful to all people! The hostel invited free supper (a sort of chatting, information exchange etc). Handmade local food was offered and tasted awesome. Rooms very clean. Every stuffs for staying were prepared. A cute fireplace was placed in living room. Could chill with view of a Japan traditional garden from living room. Location was perfect, just 10 mins from the town center.

The cat is very cut and the staff is very nice.
The kitchen is quite dirty and we watched cat peeing on the stove. All the dishes are on cupboards. I am not sure where all the cat is peeing.

The property is in. Good location close to the centre of the city, near a train line. The rooms were upstairs and comfortable and clean. Showers and toilets were downstairs, clean with great water pressure. The rooms were named after places in New Zealand as is the property which appealed to me. The property encourages guests to get together with the hosts at dinner time and provides some food to accompany your own dinner. This creates a great atmosphere, and for me, led to a very enjoyable evening.
While initially I thought the property was over priced, I was able to do my washing and park for free. With all considered, the property is excellent value for money.
I would have liked more space to hang my washing, but I managed.

Other residents where loud and noisy. They were having midnight snacks with alcohol, after that they were loud and puked all night. The host and staff couldn't do anything about it. We had a really poor nights sleep.
