Dear Ann,

Aiko at yamagata here.
Let me know your budget, and we can go from there.

Mark, thanks for the fax. It was wonderful- ;0)

The festival often takes over a particularly cheap, but
pleasant,
ryokan for the week and converts it into "Asia House."
I'd contact the
festival's Yamagata office directly (ask for Aiko) and
see if you could
get into there. I'll warn you, however, that you
probably won't sleep.
It's a lively place every night.

In general, I'm sure they can help you find something
reasonable.
