That was one of our best stays in Japan during this trip! The hotel is just opposite the JR station, bright and clean. Rooms are large and comfortable. Amenities and Drinks are made available to the guests and surprise: ice cream is free too! (My kids were living their dreams eating ice cream all day long!).
And the breakfast: high quality, great choice of tasty dishes and smooth service. That was a treat! Will definitely come back and stay longer!
These newer Daiwa hotel are best. We've stayed in Yamagata, Koriyama, and Morioka they're very similarily designed and decor. They're better then other Daiwa in other cities. Their moderate Twins allows extra sofa bed is perfect fit for our family of 4 to sleep comfortably while staying together. Everything is just perfect with these newer built Daiwa hotels if you can find a good price on them.
The location was absolutely unbeatable—right inside the train station, making it incredibly convenient! Surrounded by a wide variety of food options both within and outside the station, it’s a food lover’s dream.
The staff were friendly, and the room was spotless and comfortable. Without a doubt, I’ll be staying here again whenever I’m in town!
The hotel has scale, although it has some history, but the interior as well as the rooms are well decorated!
This time this room is the most expensive, but the room has a private garden and private bath, the family soaking in the hot spring is very happy.
The room has the latest TV to watch YouTube and Netflix.The space in the room is huge, I believe it can sleep six people, haha.
The hotel's breakfast is typical Japanese and Western, more stock.
The hotel has two large baths, men and women can enjoy the two large baths in separate periods, which feels good.
The hotel has lots of free parking...
Very nice hotel close to ropeway station and Zao onsen town. Walking distance to the shrine, famous onsen bath and shopping streets. The room very clean, staff super friendly and breakfast and dinner spread are very good!
Super clean, lovely staff, all the amenities I could’ve needed during my stay. Also - lovely view of the city and mountains from the room but also on the top floor of the building.
The hot spring area is very convenient to use wherever you go. There is also a foot bath at the door of the accommodation, so you can soak your feet before going out to warm up your body before leaving👍. It's a pity that the Zao Cable Car is closed, so you can only come back to experience it next winter😤
Super close to the train station. The rooms are comfy and bright. The staff were incredibly friendly, warm, and attentive. Breakfast was pretty standard, similar to what you'd get at a Toyoko Inn, with a lot of the items seemingly being prepared from frozen. It's definitely on my list for my next visit to Yamagata!
Best ryokan to stay during my trip, direct email hotel to confirm shuttle service from Kaminoyaonsen JR station.
Stunning mountain view from our room, although the room with onsen bath, we still love the public bath, environment is very clean. Foods are on par and service and environment from the ryokan is really good
Although the price of accommodation including one room and two meals is nearly NT$20,000, after personal experience, I really feel that this hotel is worth it...
1. When checking in, a dedicated person will deliver the luggage to the room. Guests can enjoy the beautiful Japanese garden in the lobby on the first floor while drinking coffee/green tea/matcha/drinks carefully prepared by the hotel. At this time, they can feel the hotel's care!
2. You can pre-select a dining time for dinner and breakfast the next day, and you can dine in a small private room with your roommate, and there is a dedicated person to serve you. The meals are exquisite and delicious, and the ingredients are all served in exquisite Japanese small utensils. After experiencing it, I feel that the money spent is worth it...
Third, there are hot spring pools indoors and outdoors, and the hot springs are really flowing in them. The outdoor pools are very Japanese-style. It is a rare life enjoyment to be able to soak in the hot springs in the hot springs on snowy days!
Fourth, there are only 22 rooms in the entire hotel, and the floors are all tatami. The beautiful scenery and good soup really make tourists relax and sigh, what more could they ask for in a husband!

GGuest UserWhen you get off the bus heading to Tsuruoka from the airport at Science Park, Suiden Terrace is right in front of you.
The room is simply designed but has everything you need and is very comfortable.
There is also a bar and a library space, which is nice. We didn't have time to relax this time, but if you have the time, I recommend spending some time there.
The open-air baths are switched between men and women in the morning and evening, so you can enjoy them both in the morning and at night.
There was a wide selection of Yamagata specialties for breakfast, which was great to enjoy in the morning.
ZZoeAbsolutely lovely place. At first I thought I'd be uncomfortable with how spaceous the room was (I'm a very jumpy solo traveller), but the room was just so comfy with an excellent view. The heater was a bit hot, but there was an electric fan too, so all was great.
The hotel allows you to have a free 50 minute private bath each night, and the private baths are amazing, able to accommodate up to five persons and with windows to let in the light and stuff. Excellent onsen water -- very acidic and very hot. Takes some time getting used to the heat, but once you do it's a heavenly experience. There are also public baths (free of charge) that you could enjoy throughout the night and into early morning (they're closed for cleaning only during 9-12 in the morning), one indoor and one outdoor, both connected to one another. The outdoor one is a bit small, but it's so refreshing to be able to flee from the stifling indoor onsen to enjoy the crisp winter air while soaking up in the heat.
GGuest UserIt was our first time to stay in a hot spring hotel and it gave us a very good experience. We went to 5 hot springs. The visual scenery of each hot spring was super good. The room was spacious and clean. The only disappointment was that the food needed to be improved.
NNetotrevinoWoah! This is one of the best ryokans we’ve been to. The staff was super attentive and could speak some English, the rooms were amazing (see the photos!). The onsen in the room was fantastic so there was no need for us to go to the public or private onsen downstairs.
The hotel is located 3 minutes away from the bus station and conveniently situated near everything. We’ve stayed at other ryokans but this one was top notch! We strongly recommend to stay at this place and will try to come back again with friends and family. Oh! The food was wow, too! We had breakfasts and dinners included and the sukiyaki dinner offered Yamagata A5 meat which was to die for. Breakfast was also great!
AAnonymous UserWhen I made the reservation, there were only a few rooms left. I sent an email to the hotel to ask if it was possible to accommodate three people in a room, as I wanted to add more people, but the hotel did not respond. Later, when I arrived at the hotel, I had to ask my friend to book a hotel nearby. Because the location is very remote and we arrived late, the room we bought included dinner, but the hotel was unwilling to give it to an extra friend to dine together. They were also very strict. Even if we wanted to pay, they were unwilling to give us an extra seat to dine together. They even wanted to kick our friends out. When we asked our friends to stay in the room, someone would come to the room and knock on the door to kick us out. The experience on the first day was not very good. We are very polite guests and we don't make noise or disturb other guests, but it is hard to understand how the hotel treats guests. Still keep saying だめだめだめ

SshawndaikiExcellent location short walk from Yamagata station.
A better location might be located on the east side of Yamagata station as there are more food and beverage and convenience stores available.
Dated property but cozy and functional. A man made onsen within the property doesn’t hurt. We also had a rental car and overnight parking was ¥600.
Complimentary breakfast however you must account for time and occupancy, we did not have time to enjoy it due to the lines.
Service was top notch. Hotel was helpful with directions and translation.
A senior lady went the extra mile to assist with contacting next hotel and even considered train timings as well as advising us to stay in Yamagata and not go early as there was nothing available in the next onsen town.
RRosina KimIt’s quite a big hotel, 3 buildings are connected and there are many rooms. The rooms are a bit outdated but still maintained well. Service was good and flexible. Transportation to the village is quite necessary when the roads are covered by snow, especially with luggage. They have free shuttle bus which is great.
Best parts: 1. Dinner semi-buffet has unlimited alcoholic beverages including local sake, draft beer and wines. 2. Ski & board rental shop is right outside of the hotel. Although hotel only accept cash for the lift ticket, you can rent the gear (rental shop accepts credit card) and ski down the hill (20sec) to the cable ticket counter to buy ticket, pay by credit card. The location has lifts 5,6 and cable 4
BBaresiThere was a problem when reserving the shuttle bus. The hotel required that the shuttle bus be reserved three days in advance, but the hotel must be notified through the form on the official website. Two of the two items in the form were to fill in the phone number and hiragana. Hiragana can also be found on the Internet. I tried filling in my home phone number, but it didn't pass the check on the form, so the notification couldn't be sent. The online voice call using Trip.com only has Japanese phone recording, so it must have been after office hours.
I once asked Trip.com customer service to help contact the hotel and asked for a real reservation or email address, but the reservation was rejected and the email was not responded to.
The whole process gave the impression that the hotel did not want guests to successfully reserve a shuttle bus. I hope the hotel can improve this. The name always has the word ”international” in it, so I hope the service can also connect to international customers.
