[Across Japan] Are there any hot spring inns that cater for vegetarians?

Question

I have a friend from the US and we will be traveling to Japan together. She is a vegetarian, so I am looking for a place to stay that caters to vegetarians. I don't think there are many places like that, so anywhere in the country would be fine.

This is Ryokan (Japanese inn) in Yamagata Prefecture that offers vegetarian options. If you have food allergies, you can call in advance and they will be able to accommodate you. Although it is vegetarian, they are particular about using local seasonal ingredients, so I think you will be very satisfied. This inn also offers hot springs of "Henjakumizu no Yu," which is written about in the Manyoshu as "the water of rejuvenation," and two free private baths, which are also attractive. If you can get to Gassanguchi by bus from Yamagata Station, you can get a free shuttle if you contact them in advance, so you should have no trouble getting there.
