Homestays in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan

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.

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.

Foreign websites can not be booked very popular, Ctrip was booked by me to the last one! The core town of Tibetan King Hot Spring Scenic Area is very small. This homestay is operated by an old couple in pension village (Wood House Village) on the edge of the town. If you don't drive by yourself, you need to discuss the daily pick-up time with the boss. It takes only five minutes to drive to the town, but it can't walk. The boss is very enthusiastic and punctual. He will use a translator to communicate with you, so there is no pressure to communicate. Basically go skiing in the morning and return to the homestay at night. The homestay is unexpectedly more cost-effective than the town. Breakfast is 3000yen per person, dinner is 4000yen per person, very rich, and the price of drinks is fair! This kind of wooden house will have insects, which is the kind of awkward mobile, the size of peanut grains, and it will not affect people's rest without biting. It will be fine to see the tape provided by the hotel sticking out of the window or letting it go outside the window. I think the only downside is that the wooden house is poorly soundproofed. The homestay stipulates that it is a rest time after ten o'clock in the evening, but if you encounter unqualified tenants, you will be noisy.

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.

5mins walk from the bus station(sendai - Kaminoyama). 15mins walk from the rail station. 0mins walk from the free shuttle bus of Zao Liza World ski place. Self service, shared bathroom and shared toilet. Recommended for people who is going to ski at Liza world.

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.

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.

Friends booked us in at Sangoro so we could ski in / out... and it truly is ski in/out... not like places at the bottom of the hill where u can only ski in/out if there’s a decent amount of snow. Sangoro is at mid-mountain, so if the resort is open for the winter season, you can ski in / out of this hotel. The disadvantage of being at mid-mountain is that there is only Sangoro there and you can’t leave / get back there from The main village after 5pm. So all your evenings are spent at the hotel. It wasn’t a problem for us, but I think you’d get cabin fever if u stayed there too long. They have a reasonable dinner menu that is mostly Japanese but has a few western and vegetarian options (spaghetti with soy meat and margarita pizza). They have a soft drink machine and soup machine which are free for people staying there (all u can drink). There’s also a pool table, table tennis table, a few games and a massage chair u can use (the massage chair is quite good after a day on the slopes). The bathrooms are Japanese (shared) but you can only use them between 7-9am and 5-10pm... only showers can be used in the morning but they fill up the big hot baths in the evenings. The women’s bathroom is down on the lowest level, so you have to go down 2 or 3 flights of stairs to get there. Men’s bathroom is on the main floor, with the hotel rooms 1 and 2 floors above. There are no elevators, so you need to be ok with climbing the fairly steep stairs and carrying luggage up/down. They have a drying room on the lowest level for ski gear, but someone kept opening the window in the room so it was always very cold in there (no point putting your stuff in there to dry). One thing everyone in our group complained about was the beds and/or pillows... not comfortable at all! I had poor sleep as I had to keep rotating all night or my arm or leg would go numb. The people working at the hotel are really nice. Some of them speak better English than others... we didn’t have any language issues but we did have a couple of people in our group who speak good Japanese, which was helpful for anything complicated. To get to the hotel you have to catch the Chuo Ropeway up to mid-mountain and get the hotel to pick you up in their special car (on tracks to drive on the snow). If you need lift tickets it’s a little cheaper to purchase them from the hotel but you. I enjoyed my time at Sangoro (except the beds), but it’s not somewhere I’d stay for a really long time due to its remoteness (there are really good and not so good things about being isolated on the mountain).

あたたまりが良い温泉でした♨️ コスパ良く温泉を楽しめると思います。 浴槽が快適に利用できる人数が三人程度と小さいのに洗い場が5人分あるので混み合うとキツイと思います。 お部屋は清潔で充分な広さがありました。 海の眺望はほぼ無し　道を渡ったら小学校とあまり良いロケーションではありませんが湯の浜では間違いなく破格です。

It is far from Hegang Station, but there is a route bus at the bus stop No. 2 in front of the station, which is about every 1 hour. The journey takes more than half an hour. Generally, guests staying are self-driving tourists. This homestay goes out and turns right and walks to the beach for 2 minutes. It is a good place to watch the sunset of the Sea of Japan. The proprietress and the boss are warm and welcoming. Dinner is seafood in the Sea of Japan and there are big crabs. Breakfast is Japanese. The hot spring water quality is acceptable and the bathroom facilities are simple.
