Yamagata Homestays

It was a reservation to see the word of mouth, as you said, i'll give you a very good evaluation. by chance, i and the landlady, my mother and the landlady's mother are the same age I was more than happy. i was able to wash it and i was saved without sweaty luggage. the food is also handmade by the lady general, and i'm full.　 I also listened to how to make ”Imoni”. if you have another chance, i'll be indebted to you. i recommend it to my friends.

The only owner of the hotel is an old couple, and they are very nice people. The boss can speak a little English. The hotel is on a hillside, so it's best to call the boss to pick him up by car. It will be difficult to climb the hill by yourself with luggage. Dinner was at a nearby restaurant, and the owner drove us there. To soak in the hot spring, the boss drove you to the nearby Genchi Hot Spring, which is not in the hotel.

Only a 1-minute walk from the Zao Onsen Ski resort, Pension Puutaro offers Japanese-style rooms, a French course for dinner and free Wi-Fi. The property is located just a minute's walk from Shinzaemon No Yu, a hot spring bath complex. Free parking is available, and Zao Ropeway is just 1 minute on foot. From Puutaro Pension it’s a 3-minute walk to the Chuo Ropeway. The property is an 8-minute walk from Zao Bus Terminal, which connects to JR Yamagata Station in 45 minutes. Okama Lake can be visited a 40-minute drive away. Rooms have a tatami (woven-straw) floor, on which traditional futon bedding is spread to sleep in. Amenities include a TV, a fridge and air conditioning/heating. Yukata robes are provided, while toilets and bathrooms are shared. A Western breakfast is served at the dining room between 07:30 and 08:30. Dinner time is from 18:30, and from 19:30 at the latest.

I will consider going there again in the future. It is very suitable for a single person, a young couple, or a family of three with children. If breakfast is included, breakfast starts at 7:30, and lunch and dinner can also be booked. In winter, it is very comfortable to have a radiator just like other places. The only thing is that when using water, you need to turn on the faucet in advance and wait for the water to heat up. It should be a warm family-style hotel managed by a family. The location is excellent, right next to the ski slopes.

I visited with my children on weekdays in June. On that day, we were able to use it very freely because we were the only customers. The impression is that the building is carefully and beautifully used. The restroom was not in the room and was shared, but it was clean and there was no particular stress. (Because there were no other customers) The landlady was kind and talked to the children many times, so it was comfortable even with children. I was able to eat well from the morning, and he told me, ”There are many twin cherries this year 🍒.” I saw twin cherries for the first time, but they were delicious 😋 I arrived at the Shinkansen late at night and was scheduled to leave at 9 o'clock in the morning, so the location was convenient and helpful.

You can take a taxi (5-6 minutes, 630-850 yen) to the entrance of Kaminodai before 18:00. You can leisurely watch the snow slopes and have breakfast every morning. It only takes 5 minutes to walk to the No. 4 cable car and 15 minutes to hike up and down the mountain. -20 minutes. The bosses are kind. Only the shared bathroom is too small for only four people.
