Yamagata Bus Tour 2 (Hotel View Kuroda (ホテルビューくろだ))

For this trip, our hotel for both nights was Hotel View Kuroda (ホテルビューくろだ).

There is a big bathtub in the bathroom.

We got a deluxe twin room and the beds were big and comfortable.

There are even 2 chairs for us to chill on in the room.

As there was still some time till dinner, we decided to explore around the area.

The hotel is in a small quiet area in Tendo, Yamagata. I've only been in the area for work but not for leisure in the past. It was nice to finally be able to come for travel.

This hotel is run by a family. When we arrived, we were served juice by the owner's 2 daughters. Outside the dinner hall, there is this cute rabbit decoration thing on display.

For the 1st night, we have shabu-shabu for dinner.

My entire tour group was seated in this room that has 2 long row of tables.

Menu, showing what was served for dinner.

Overall, the food was delicious and I was satisfied with the amount of food served.

After dinner, we decided to look around at the hotel's facilities. 

There is a huge seating area near the lobby for guests.

Tendo is famous for Shogi as about 90% of all Japanese Shogi pieces are made in Tendo.

There is even an area for Shogi in the hotel lobby.

And in the room, we are served these shogi pieces, which are actually snacks to go with tea. 

At night, we snacked on these zunda shake bars which we bought earlier in the day at the souvenir shop and these were sooo good! Unfortunately, we didn't see this anywhere else after that and were unable to get more.

Next time, I will buy more as souvenirs too.
