Sitting at the source of the Zao Onsen area, the natural water source is good. This hotel is newly renovated and has good facilities. I didn't book dinner when I was traveling alone, which was a bit awkward. I had breakfast and it was really rich. I took a hot spring bath three times, and I had the opportunity to bathe on both sides, which was very good. One night here is enough, two days is a bit boring.

📍 Omiya Ryokan 46 Zao Onsen, Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture 《Facilities》 Established over 1000 years ago The oldest ryokan in Zao Onsen I booked this hotel because I was attracted by the milky white sulphur spring, which is said to be a hot spring that makes you beautiful, and the 100% natural flow of the spring water. When I parked my car in the parking lot, the hot spring flowing into the Yokomizo gave off a strong smell of sulphur 😊 The lady at the front desk explained everything to me and showed me to my room. She was very kind and easy to understand. All the corridors in the building are covered with tatami mats!! The comfort of walking barefoot, the nostalgic interior. The guest rooms also have a Taisho-era romantic feel Women can choose to wear yukata. 《Hot Springs》 Free tour of the three Omiya Ryokan baths The other inn is the Zao International Hotel The oldest and most historic hot spring resort in Yamagata Prefecture The open-air rock bath "Yaemon no Yu" with its wooden observation bath and skillfully arranged rocks was something I had always wanted to experience. The foot bath in front of the hot spring entrance is milky white, and there are three benches for four people. Towels for wiping your feet after bathing are also provided. You can go out to the terrace through the wooden sliding door, and feel the refreshing breeze. Finally, we went to the hot springs at Omiya Ryokan... The men's and women's baths are switched at certain times. To enjoy both, we recommend taking a bath once before dinner and then after. One is a square bath with a bubble bath and a hot spring bath, and an open-air bath The other is an egg-shaped bath that is also shown in the advertisements. It is a comfortable temperature with hot spring water flowing directly from the source. In addition to touring the three inns, you can also enjoy three nearby public baths for free. After exploring the whole facility, I thought that the temperature was just right for a comfortable bath and that it made my skin very smooth. One thing to be careful of. Be sure to take off your rings and necklaces before bathing. The spring water is prone to rusting, so... Meals Dinner was a delicious meal made with locally produced ingredients, including Yamagata beef. When making a reservation, you can choose from teppanyaki, sukiyaki, or shabu-shabu for the Yamagata beef. This time of year, it is steamed with wild vegetables and Yamagata's brand pork, Komen no Musumebuta. The rice was "Tsuyahime" and, of course, the sake I chose was "Dewazakura." The hall staff were also very kind and polite, and after taking a bath and sweating a lot, they filled my hungry stomach. 🥰 Breakfast was also very delicious, with dishes such as country-style stewed wild vegetables, teppanyaki, and dishes made with Shonai-produced roast pork and local vegetables. #AccommodationTrip #Yamagata #Zao #ZaoOnsen #HotSpring #HotSpringInn #HotSpringTour #Free-flowing Spring Water

Boasting a 1000-year history, this retro inn lets you experience the romance of the Taisho era. We especially recommend this inn for hot spring lovers, as it has hot springs that flow straight from the source. There are also outdoor baths nearby, so you can enjoy bathing in different baths. The naturally gushing hot spring is a "strongly acidic sulfur spring," which can corrode metal easily, so there are no elevators. Please note that you will need to use the stairs.

It was my first time to enjoy a kaiseki dinner. Although I knew there were many types of food, I never thought I would be able to eat until I was full. 📍Location: At the Restoran "Tarobei" restaurant, on the first floor of Building 2, but I was completely lost the first time I went there and had to ask the staff to lead the way. 🏠Environment: Traditional Japanese tatami decoration, black tables and chairs with screens, high privacy and very comfortable. 🤵🏻Service: The staff will ask how much rice you want, and then serve other dishes and desserts. 🍽️Dinner: Food: "Zaoshan Kaizen" 🐮The main dish is Yamagata beef, which is also one of the three major Japanese wagyu beef "Yonezawa beef". The beef is grilled on a ceramic plate, enjoying the aroma and juicy tenderness. 🥩The four thick slices of beef can be seen with evenly distributed marbling😍. The meat is extremely delicate and melts in the mouth🤤. It is really great and the best beef I have eaten during the entire trip. 🍣In addition, there is the sashimi salad🥗, which is very fresh and the mustard sauce is very refreshing. This is one of my favorites🥰. 🍮The final dessert was quite a surprise 🤩 whole pudding 🍮, but not greasy at all, very fresh and natural 😋, low in sweetness, and I couldn’t forget this dessert afterwards. 🥢As for other appetizers, Yamagata specialties or vegetables, they tasted normal😁, so I won’t introduce them in detail.
