Guest UserA 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.

This ryokan-style hotel boasts a beautiful location on a snow-covered mountain, right next to a stunning ski resort. The accommodations are very convenient, featuring separate shower and toilet facilities within the room. There's also a private onsen available for a small fee, offering a wonderfully private outdoor bathing experience. The hotel provides excellent shuttle services to various destinations; you can easily request a ride to the Zao Ropeway to see the Snow Monsters, as well as to restaurants, the bus station, and more.

Nice hotel located in Zao Onsen
Perfect location for people who go for skiing
Nice dinner and breakfast provided by a traditional Japanese style hotel
Onsen is quite small but comfortable enough
They have a nice rooftop, can go flaming during summer time, but too cold for us in Feb

It's conveniently located about 200m down the hill from the Zao Central Ropeway. There's a Lawson and a day-use bathing facility nearby. I went there for snowboarding, but there's also a drying room. The room was Japanese-style, and the only amenities were toothbrushes, but towels and bath towels were provided. After checking in, I looked around the room and found a few long hairs that looked like they belonged to a woman, but it was too much trouble, so I borrowed a vacuum cleaner and cleaned them up myself. There was also some small trash in the lobby hallway, so it seemed like they didn't clean it very often. The hot spring water wasn't particularly hot, but it was a strong acidic water that is typical of Zao Onsen, so it was good → the water was hot the next day. The area is what you'd call the center of Zao Onsen, but there aren't many restaurants, and people who are staying without meals will probably go to the convenience store to buy things, but there is no microwave in the building, so you should heat up your food at the convenience store before taking it home.

The hotel has a Showa-era feel. There's no elevator, so you have to carry your luggage up yourself, thankfully it's only on the second floor. There are six private baths that can be booked in advance, and you can use them freely after 9 pm as long as no one is there – it's fantastic! After soaking in the hot springs, they even give you complimentary milk. Dinner was Yamagata beef shabu-shabu, which was delicious. I'd definitely stay here again next time I'm in Zao!

Anonymous UserA convenient hotel for a short stay in Yamagata. The welcoming smiles of the front receptionists are very much appreciated. The hotel is very clean and tidy and is located next to Family Mart. Finding food is not a problem as there are many restaurants nearby. The breakfast served in the morning is delicious and varied. Highly recommended to stay in this hotel.

Nice and clean business hotel very near the Yamagata train station. Location is top notch! Basic hotel with everything you'd need. There is an artificial onsen on the 14th floor, which was good for a soak after a long day. Breakfast buffet was basic but tasty. Warm foods like rice, miso soup, bacon, stir fried veggies, etc were available in addition to some pastries and bread with butter and jams.
Will definitely stay again when in the Yamagata area.

The accommodation is about a 10-minute walk from the station, which is a bit more difficult when it snows. It seems that he provides parking lot, which is more suitable for people who drive.
There is also a large supermarket within a 10-minute walk nearby, which is very convenient.
The baths for men and women are separate, so you don't have to wait for a long time, which is very convenient! Very recommended
There is a free bar and snacks downstairs which is a good deal.

The room was very large and spacious for a family of three. The hotel was a bit dated, but very comfortable. The beds were not the best, not very supportive on the back and shoulders. Overall, it was a comfortable two night stay in a very nice and convenient area with a lot of restaurant choices within 500 meters.

There is a festival around the hotel on the day and the traffic is stopped in various places
I can't get to the hotel and call the hotel.
The front desk was politely navigated by phone and finally arrived.
The front desk waited outside when we arrived and guided us to the parking lot.
