I had a perfect stay at Wakaba. The tatami room was spotless, very confortable and warm (I stayed during March) and the baths were amazing as well. the ryokan has its own restaurants and, although the menu is in japanese ( i believe they are working on a translation ) it was easy to understand with a bit of help from google and from the staff, which, by the way, were really friendly and attentive. Keita-san, who owns the ryokan speaks perfect english and we had a nice chat, he made sure I had an immaculate staying at Wakaba. I can't recommend wakaba ryokan enough. Sakata itself its a small but charming town, make sure you visit the tea house Somaro and Honma Museum. Cheers! 10☆

Lovely Japanese-style room. Delicious breakfast. Nice onsen bath overlooking pretty garden. Very friendly staff.

Delicious Japanese breakfast. As a Westerner I would like to have more than just one cup of coffee at breakfast. Please offer this to make foreign guest feel even more comfortable

Met the owner who was really friendly and spoke English well. He helped us with providing restaurant recommendations and calling in advance to confirm the restaurant was open before we visited. Also had a really nice dinner in the ryokan with a series of different seafood and meat dishes. Overall a great stay!

Beautiful ryokan. Very welcoming at check-in. Comfortable room. Lovely onsen.

A little far from tbe train station. About a 20 minute walk. Buses run infrequently.

Lovely friendly staff, great location, and very pleasant dinner and breakfast. I slept so well on my comfortable futon.
