My room, shared restrooms, & bath were extremely clean! The home is full of character & clearly well-taken care of. Right by Yamagata Station & perfect place to shop. Bunch of parks as well, Kajo Park in particular has the Yamagata Castle Ruins. I spent a day going to Ginzan Onsen, further away compared to Zao. Definitely beautiful view but make sure you are aware of the bus & train schedules, because they come by roughly once an hour. The hostess is as nice as the reviews say she is! A little awkward at first, but she'd chat with me & patient when I tried speaking in Japanese. Very cheery personality! There was an avalanche risk warning, but she reassured me I'll be safe going to Ginzan Onsen. She'd come out to greet or see me off each day. Overall, very pleasant! Amenities were great! She provided basic necessities without extra charge (toothbrush/paste, towels) AND a yukata!! The futon was already set out for me when I arrived. Each night, when I returned, the bath was ready so I could go straight to showering & soaking. Lastly the amazing breakfast like the other reviews have stated. So cheap for how much food she gives you! Great variety, the rice smelled amazing, & a little different each meal. You come down at the agreed time, sit at a table with the TV on, & eat the meal in peace. Overall, the best place I stayed at in Japan & will definitely book again when visiting Yamagata! You really get to live the traditional Japanese-lifestyle!

Old lady run family hotel. Second floor has a few rooms. The owner does not speak English and has to communicate in English. Basic but worth the money.

Best experience I could get from this place was the owner being a great cook and exceptional with her conversations and mannerisms in sending and welcoming her customers. Location is wonderful too, as it is quiet yet not far from the main areas to eat and transit in Yamagata. Honestly 1 of a hidden gem. Only drawback would probably be the hot tub as she is handling it on her own and if there are multiple people living there that night, it can get a little dirty, so I'll keep to using the showers would do. Love the place so much!

I spent four great nights at Yamashiroya Ryokan when I was visiting for sight seeing and skiing. The owner was very nice and looked after me very well. She is a great cook as well and the breakfasts were excellent! I would definitely stay again if I was in the area.

Very close to the station and the bus stop to Zao! The breakfast is delicious and the additional price is 1000 yen. The hostess is very kind and it is as comfortable as living at home.

Very close to Yamagata Station, very easy to find. The proprietress is very friendly and the Japanese-style room is very clean and tidy. For the Japanese breakfast set, you can choose to dine at 07:00 or 08:00.

The landlady is kind. Although we don't speak the same language, we can feel her warmth. The breakfast she made herself is delicious, with rich varieties and different every day. I hope to feel the warmth again next time.

I stayed here without meals. The landlady was kind and it was a homely inn. Some people may mind sharing the bath and toilet, but I would like to stay here again if I go to Yamagata.

The location is very good, just a 3-minute walk from the station, very close to the Zao Bus Station. The room is clean and tidy. Although the shared bathroom has hygiene issues, it is actually quite clean.

Typical Japanese room, comfortable. Quite nice! Convenient location because close to the train station and restaurants Cold welcome. Few explanations. The owner gave me the key in 5 seconds by telling me "room eight" and making signs to tell me "1 floor, left, then right", except that the numbers on the room doors were in Japanese, so incomprehensible to me... Finally, she went up to show me by repeating "eight!" 2 or 3 times, as if it were obvious. Otherwise, no problem.

It's very close to the station, so you should consider it if you pay attention to sleep.
