Very historical and charming ryokan but most things are dated. The services are very good and the onsen can be better as the outdoor onsen is rather small.

Even though we called the hotel stating that we would be late for the check-in and dinner as there was heavy snow in the highway. The staff postponed it to 730. However, the snow was so heavy, we lost our way in town and we arrived at 8:10. The staff saying that we were too late and rejected to provide any food for us. we had to walk downhill to the town to find our own dinner. however, on the second night of our stay, we noticed that the other guests were having dinner at 9:10 when we passed by the restaurant. We know that we were late, but I believed that hotel is in the hospitality industry, the staff have to be considerate to the guests. as we were not meant to be late on purpose, just because of the bad weather outside, we couldn’t drive fast. We were in the highway 2 1/2 hours without any food and drink in the hope of arriving on time.

Over sold of the resort appeal.carpark far from hotel. The room is not up to standard. Very difficult to access. Although the meal presented well. A lot are vegetarian nothings solid. Felt paid too much for a normal accommodation. Would not recommend to any season travellers. The onsen is good but the facilities are very basic. There are no towel at facilities. Everything need to tobe brought from the room.
It is a hotel with quite a history, although there are ten steps before entering the hotel door, however if you take the shuttle then there should be staff to help you carry (I did not sit), checkout employees to help carry luggage, there Cars you go to the station, but actually walking past the station is not very far, to see the tree ice is not afraid of far, anyway, I walked slowly did not pay attention to the time, watching the snow soon. The hotel staff were very enthusiastic and the service was good and the food was quite good. However the room will be a bit cold recommend going in winter to prepare some warm packs.

Clean and tidy, the room is not small, there is a big bath on the 16th floor, the location is also good, convenient for travel, back to the hotel at night, there is piano performance and snacks in the breakfast area, not far from the hotel, the Zhengle Temple, the red maple there is so beautiful, the overall stay experience is very pleasant 👍
Take a bus from Yamagata Station (one bus every hour) to Zao. Check the schedule in advance! The bus takes about 50 minutes to arrive. Get off the bus and walk uphill to the hotel for 5 minutes. The staff are very warm and welcoming! There are staff who can speak Chinese, so there is basically no need to worry about checking in! There are two hot springs that are said to be the exclusive source of the hot springs with a history of 300 years~ It is very comfortable to soak in. However, the hotel facilities are relatively old. .
Dinner and breakfast are both delicious. It is recommended to pack it!

It has a history of three hundred years, so the hotel is really old. The hotel has a shuttle service, which is best to use, because it will be quite hard to take the luggage and walk up the stairs to the reception! Overall OK, but not outstanding

An antique hotel! The service is very good, they will help with luggage and there is a shuttle bus to the bus station. The ingredients of Yibo Ershi are diverse and rich, very delicious and completely filling.

It's a very historic hotel that's been maintained in good condition. There are two hot spring baths for men and women, which is very interesting. The food is delicious and the service staff are very friendly, but there may not be enough people. Eating in the restaurant feels very rushed, as if I eat in a hurry. The room on the second floor was very cold. There was no central air conditioning and only a small heater, so we asked the hotel to make a bed downstairs to sleep in. The upstairs was basically unused. The bathroom upstairs was not very clean and the bathtub was dark.

The hot spring pool is relatively small, everything else is very good, the environment is beautiful, the English of the two uncles at the front desk is also good, there is no major problem in communication, the breakfast and dinner are delicious, it is worth a try
