yamagata glam

A glamping resort in Murayama where the baths are part of the stay. Guests use the large indoor bath, with big windows toward the mountains across the river, one hotter tub and a cooler one with jets, plus a sauna. The rotenburo has three tubs at different temperatures, named after the three rough stretches of the Mogami River, and you hear the current while you soak. The men's and women's sides swap on different days. There is also an outdoor spa pool filled with warmed hot-spring water, which stays in use through winter. The baths are in the neighboring Kurhaus Goten (クアハウス碁点), and the place is clearly aimed at overnight guests rather than drop-in bathers.
