Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Tendo
The nearest gateway to Tendo is Yamagata Airport (GAJ), which is located just 5.6 km away, making it the most convenient option for travelers. This domestic-only airport provides the fastest and cheapest transit via taxi or shared airport liner, connecting you to Tendo in approximately 15 to 35 minutes. Sendai Airport (SDJ), situated 53.2 km away, serves as the major regional international hub and offers a balanced mix of highway bus and rail options, though travel times exceed two hours. Other airports in the list, including Niigata Airport (KIJ), Hanamaki Airport (HNA), and Shonai Airport (SYO), are located significantly further away (ranging from 72 to 135 km) and require more complex, multi-modal travel plans, often involving long-distance buses and regional trains. For the most efficient experience, prioritize flying into Yamagata Airport (GAJ). If arriving at larger hubs like Sendai, ensure you book your bus or train connections in advance, as regional service frequency can vary throughout the day. Always confirm if your transfer requires a reservation, especially for airport shuttles.

This hotel is located in Tendo City. For reference, Tendo City is about a 2.5-hour Shinkansen ride from Tokyo. As it's a small city, it's perfect for a relaxing hot spring getaway. The public bath is quite large for the number of guests, so you can enjoy the onsen at your leisure. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey. Tendo City is also known as the city of shogi (Japanese chess), producing 95% of Japan's shogi pieces. It's also famous for its peaches and cherries.FromUS$240

I wanted to stay at a ryokan, so I made a big decision and booked a place with a private bath!!
Sendai is a bit far, so I rented a car.
The staff were surprisingly friendly and the facilities were fantastic.
There was a communal bath, and best of all, the breakfast and dinner were delicious.
The menu was different every day, which made eating there even more enjoyable.
I was worried because there weren't many Korean reviews, but
it exceeded my expectations!!FromUS$119

I was glad that the bed was larger than a regular single size!
There was a small bath with three washing areas, and I was able to use it at the perfect time, but it's likely that it would be unavailable at a time of that size.
I wish the parking lot was a little larger. We were the last car parked, so it was a tight squeeze. There was only one elevator, which was also difficult to use.
There was taro stew for breakfast on the first day, and I thought there would be some the next day, but there wasn't, which was very disappointing.
But overall I had a very comfortable stay!FromUS$54

天童にある水車そばというお蕎麦屋に行きたかったので、真向かいにあるホテル王将の立地は最高でした。ホテルは施設は古く、特にエレバーターはかなりの年季が入っています。しかし部屋は古いが畳は新しく掃除も行き届いていました。お風呂も大きくて脱衣所には鏡台がたくさんあり、ゆっくりドライヤーできます。ヘアブラシはありません。シャンプー、リンスは馬油と植物系のもの、米ぬかの洗顔料もありました。露天風呂やサウナがないのが残念です。新幹線の駅まで往復送迎してもらえて良かったです。FromUS$57

I was very grateful for the microwave in the room.
I was able to watch YouTube.
There was also a USB port and outlet next to the pillow.
It can't be helped, but the toilet drains a lot. The noise from next door was also loud. Would it be a little better if I turned my head the other way?FromUS$80

The front desk was kind and taught me in detail about sightseeing and restaurants nearby.
The room was clean and comfortable to use. It was helpful that there were many outlets.
I just heard the voice in the next room.
Maybe it was exciting to drink with several people.
I would be happy if the amenities were a little more substantial.FromUS$42

We used it for a night stay.
The bath was wide and slowly soaked.
I think the location is convenient in front of the station.
I took an airplane, so I arrived while sightseeing in an hour and a half on foot, but there was a footbath on the way, so it was a satisfying sightseeing just by going to the hotel.FromUS$26

We had an absolutely an amazing stay in Tedoso. First, the hot spring there is amazing. We had never felt so relaxed in a hot spring before. The hot water and the cold weather is completely in harmony. Second, the service is sooooooo nice. They always welcomed us and out in a lot more effort than they needed to. Third, the environment is astounding. The Japanese style and the room is way beyond our expectations. The hotel is so neat and delicate, which made us feel like we’re in a whole new world. Last, the food is spectacular. We had food ranging from big and juicy pieces of sukiyaki beef to nicely cut and flavored sashimi. Our experience at this hotel is exquisite, and the price is highly reasonable, our family highly recommend you to visit Tendoso and give it a try. I’m sure you and your family would have a remarkable experience.FromUS$597

The location of the hotel is pretty good. There are local product stores, drugstores and supermarkets next to it.
Very convenient for people who like to go shopping
Starbucks is also next door. If you want to buy a souvenir, there are many options.
The service in the hotel is very friendly. The only drawback is that the facilities in the hot spring house are relatively simple compared to other hot spring hotels.
But overall it’s a worthy place to stayFromUS$73
