2-Star Hotels in Yamagata

We arrived in a few minutes from Yamagata Station. It is cheap though access is outstanding. It is convenient. The deadline for breakfast is 880 yen until 8 o'clock the night before. Breakfast is from 7:00 to 8:00 in the morning, the same 3 floor as the receptionist. The front desk is kind. After the stay, I received an email through the reservation site. I felt the business effort.

Spacious for me. Although a bit old it good conditions. Only issue is thar the aircon it either on or off and it pretty warm so for late autumn and winter it is alright. Breakfast is either Japanese or western and the lounge is cosy. The carpark is a multi storey carpark west of the hotel so to drive past the building and anticlockwise. Good deal when I book it for 1 night. There a family mart right below.

Hotel will pick up and drop off to the bus station, ski resort, service The room is clean and large. There is a hall, a room, a toilet, and a bathroom on both sides. Breakfast is rich. Dinner is a try All hotel staffs are polite and can communicate in simple English There is a room for skis near the hotel door But the hot spring female soup is so fine I will stay again if I go to Zao

The environment is great, the room is square, the aunt who cleans the room every day is very serious, there is a bath on the 2nd floor, there is a sauna inside, and you can wash clothes and dry outside, but there seems to be dust in the dryer. In terms of environment, it is very close to Yamagata Station, but the hotel is quite remote. In addition to these, the others are very satisfied and the price is very high.

The hotel feels like the restaurant's side. The disadvantage is really not suitable at first. The bathroom and bathroom are not in the house, but they are all special rules and clean. The room is a small tatami air purifier. The heating is very good. Sleeping and making your bed. The quilt is very comfortable. It is originally greedy for cheap and the picture distance cable. The car was close to the first day and I almost wanted to move, but there were too many things. I decided that the others were too expensive. I didn’t expect to live until the next day. It felt very good. I was also Marriott Titanium. I didn’t see the world. After all, I spent more than 300 advantages. The biggest is the distance to the mountain cable. The car *** is close to walk for 20 seconds. It is the cable car number 4. I can’t stop the car and go directly to the small hotel. I have a picture to see for myself. I have gone to so many ski resorts. This is the most ***ski in ski out hotel I have ever stayed in. Hahaha II Valley Yueyue is not so ** Wanlong Genting has no one to compare. Oh breakfast The most expensive 1300 dinner has barbecue for two people 5500 to write so much. One is a bit interesting. The other is that there is really no work at night.

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.

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).

In addition to the room is a little smaller, but the bunk beds are OK, there is nothing wrong with it, the staff inside are very warm, there are dogs, friendly to children

Right in front of Zao Ropeway! The public inn with Zao beef and local cuisine (free flowing hot spring).

The minor problem is that the door lock is very difficult to be unlocked. There is instruction to turn counter clockwise but it looks like sometimes work sometimes don’t work. Otherwise excellent.
