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.
Hotel is on the West Exit (bus to Zao/Sendai is on the East Exit) but is less than 10 minutes walk and feels more quiet. Rooms were good size and there were free drinks and ice cream in the lobby from the afternoon.
There is a 24 hour supermarket behind the hotel, only negative is, there is no proper crossing in front of the hotel.
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...
This lovely hotel is walking distance from the train station. Check in is at level 3 after 2pm. The room is clean and the necessary amenities are provided. The self service coin laundry is at level 8.
All hotels were built during the heyday of Japan. The rooms are small but very cost-effective. The facilities are a bit old and the sense of age is very strong. But the location is good. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to Yamagata Station. There are also many places to eat around. It is a good choice to stay in Yamagata. The breakfast room is relatively large, and there is no time to eat when skiing.
Charming onsen hotel located 5 min drive from Kaminoyama station. A shuttle pick up can be arranged with the hotel ahead of time available from 1430-1800.
It’s a relatively dated property but well maintained. A small public onsen with a rotenburo, and a small private onsen within the room comfortable for two. The spring water through the property is the same.
Meals provided are extensive, balanced and nutritious featuring local specialities like yam, Yamagata and Yonezawa beef.
Drinks are offered at the lounge in the afternoon from 1700, morning coffee and tea available from 0800.
Overall a comfortable and luxurious stay.
First of all, it's right in front of Sakata Station, so it's easily accessible from Shonai Airport. I took a bus from the airport to Sakata Station, and was surprised to find that the bus stop was right in front of Tsuki no Hotel! I booked a corner twin room this time, and the room was very comfortable and had a relaxing atmosphere. I also had breakfast at the hotel, which was delicious with a wide variety of options. I had fun spending time in the same building before checking in. The library was very spacious and there was a tourist information center as well. Overall, I was very satisfied. I would definitely like to stay here again when I go to Sakata.
The hotel is generally good.
However, there is one thing that annoys me a bit. I chose the meal-included package and saw on other platforms that the meal offered was beef kaiseki. But I still chose to book through the Ctrip platform. The day I arrived, I asked the reception what dinner was and I was told it was pork shabu-shabu. I asked if I could change to beef kaiseki for an additional fee and the front desk told me it was not possible. When I entered the restaurant during the meal, I saw that everyone except our table was eating beef kaiseki.
So, is this discrimination or a platform problem?
Room was really as per picture. The view was great with the striped windows. Quite spacious, able to accomodate up to 2 suitcases opened.
Location is also great as it's directly connected to the JR Yamagata station & S-PAL beside. You will be able to walk to the south tower through the internal passage way. Overall would recommend - really worth the price point, was comfortable and had everything we need for our stay.
can access the hotel from the station without going outside which is very good in winter. room window facing bldg hence no sightseeing but there is free sightviewing on top of the bldg.
Very Good

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.
TTeoGeraldA wonderful place to stay in. The service was fantastic. The room was huge, much too large for just a solo traveler like me but it would have been perfect if I had brought my wife and child along. The onsen quality was great, albeit the fittings at the shower area were a bit old. The food was hands down amazing and featured great local produce. Honestly there was too much for one person to finish! What I especially liked was that they had a separate room on the first floor where if it was too early for you to check in, you could drop your luggage off, change, and then grab your gear and head to the slopes. Same thing if you intend to charge the slopes a bit more on your last day, just leave your stuff in the storage room, hit the slopes, come back and change out, hit the onsen for the last time, then go off. Definitely recommending this place to my friends visiting Zao.
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

GGuest UserVery close to Yamagata Station, but on the other side of Yamagata Station which is not very busy. Overall, the transportation is very convenient.
The hotel has a high occupancy rate. When I went there, it happened to be a Japanese holiday, and even the buffet restaurant had a queue.
The room was much better than the one I stayed in Morioka the day before. The bedding was very comfortable. The room was not too small. There is also an artificial hot spring on the top floor, the 14th floor, to take a bath and relieve the cold. This price has free breakfast, artificial hot springs, and this location, which is already a very good value for money. I will stay here again when I come to Yamagata in the future!
In addition, I am grateful that there are sanitary napkins in the women's bathroom on the ground floor of the hotel for check-out guests, which really saves many girls who suddenly have their period. The details are perfect.
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
AAmy05An old style hotel with a beautiful Onsen and nice foot spa. Friendly staff who tried their best to explain things in English. Nice free transfer service to and from Yamagata station but need to book 3 days prior. Breakfast and Dinner options are fantastic and very tasty. Also walkable to the Cable car station.

GGuest UserIt took us about 15 minutes from Yamagata airports to the hotel by a taxi. Located in a cozy area and we could see the mountains covered with snow in the distance (we visited here in January 2024).
All of the facilities are clean and the Japanese garden in the courtyard is very atmospheric.
The hot springs is also very large and clean, and bathing while looking at the snow was an extremely valuable experience.
We took dinner(Yamagata beef sukiyaki) and breakfast here, they were really nice to say at least.
The service was also excellent, absolutely.
