Hotels With Bar in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan

My biggest mistake of this trip to Yamagata is to book this hotel. It's a good hotel but it's in the middle of nowhere. You will want to stay around the city of Yamagata province which is also called Yamagata city just so you can get to famous tourist spots. However this is 4 hours away from all of these. I had to book another hotel so I can stay 1 day in the city when I wanted to visit these places and the traveling time just completely made me exhausted. It took like 1 day to go to a place and 1 day to go back. It was so terrible, I was crying. This place is closed to Shonai airport not Yamagata airport so I also had to book another flight from Shonai. I wasted so much money for transportation. It was such a terrible experience. However the hotel is incredibly beautiful with smart design in everything. I loved the onsen very much. If it was just a vacation/restcation for relaxing purpose or isolate yourself from the human word, it's the best choice for you. Since its in the middle of the endless rice field, there is nothing to eat except for paying very high price to eat at the hotel's restaurant. And the food was just okay. The beauty of this hotel was like a trap. Its like I was blind from its beauty and couldn't see all other disavantages.

The price was cheap for a room only, and the location was good as it was right in front of Yamagata Station and close to a convenience store. I don't know if it depended on the time of day, but it took about 5 minutes for the hot water to come out of the shower.

The room was very spacious, and the facilities were decent. The hotel staff were very friendly. There's also a private onsen available for an extra charge. You can buy lift tickets and rent ski equipment directly at the hotel, and the prices are slightly cheaper. The hotel dinners tend to be kaiseki-style, different every day but feeling somewhat similar. Breakfast is a buffet. Overall, it was pretty good, but the lack of a washing machine was inconvenient, especially since clothes can get a bit smelly after skiing.

This Yamagata hotel is excellent, part of the JR Hotels group. It's located right above Yamagata Station. I found it very new and comfortable. The 11 AM check-out time was also a plus. Being right on top of the JR central station is incredibly convenient.

The view was great because the accommodation was on the 8th floor The room was calm and relaxing I felt that the bed was low, so I was considering children and weak feet. However, if the height of the bathtub in the bath is a little lower ､､､ Breakfast is always decided to be coffee in bread and salad, side dishes 々 It was like ～ that Japanese food could not be selected.

The hotel provides a shuttle bus service, which is provided immediately. I originally thought that it only provides a shuttle between the Zao Onsen Bus Terminal and the hotel, but in fact, the hotel also provides a shuttle bus service when going to the cable car. I really appreciate this service! The hotel's location is great for skiing! The photo is taken outside the hotel gate; we booked a double room, but actually stayed in a triple room, so it was relatively spacious; in addition to the theme dishes for dinner, there are other all-you-can-eat dishes, so you will never go hungry, and the breakfast is also all-you-can-eat, which is impeccable; to sum up, if I go to Zao Onsen again in the future, I will still choose this hotel!

This is a very nice hotel. Loved every corner of it. A bit old. But the service and location makes it a nice place to stay. Near shinjo station by bus 20 minutes. It’s a good place to stay if you are going to ginzan onsen. They have shuttle bus to shinjo station from the hotel. They have izakaya inside of the hotel. Staff is great and helpful. We totally recommend it to stay. Awesome views

The dinner was Kaiseki cuisine, with unlimited sake, beer and cocktails. My parents-in-law enjoyed the drinks very much, and my friends also said it was great value. When bathing in the hot spring at night, you can enjoy the snow scenery outdoors while bathing. It is so beautiful, a dreamlike bathing experience.

Great hotel with great location to explore the shirotsuzuji park and shrine.

it’s a very good vital and very friendly to families especially to little kids! very nice dinner and traditional japanese breakfast! really a special experience with my family
