2-Star Hotels in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan

Very simple , efficient and convenient hotel . kind and helpful staff thank you .

My one-night stay at Kameya Hotel was unforgettable. The simple yet delicious breakfast, made with fresh ingredients, was a great start to the day. The stunning sea view at sunset was magical, and the exceptional onsen provided a perfect way to relax. Kameya Hotel is ideal for anyone seeking a refreshing getaway with beautiful views and warm Japanese hospitality!

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!

The location is excellent, just a 2-3 minute walk to the left from the Yamagata JR station exit. It's very close to the No. 1 bus stop for Zao, and Kasumi Park is within 1 kilometer, within walking distance. The rooms are clean and spacious, and although a bit old, they are well maintained! Note that the check-in counter is on the 3rd floor, so please pay attention when you go there to avoid getting lost like I did.

Overall a practical hotel close to the slopes, room was simple but fine. Free shuttle provided which proved very convenient. Breakfast was good with different options both Japanese and western styles. Staff was helpful especially the Japanese personnel and the young lady in the breakfast room however there was one Indian-like man who was not really hospitable, never smiling and never talking (no hello, nothing at all) staring at you which made me uncomfortable.

Very comfortable! very good! There is a jacuzzi, fully equipped, and a full set of kitchen utensils. There is an old restaurant nearby that has been open for 130 years and specializes in Yonezawa beef.

リピートあり最高食事は値段なりだし、建物も老朽化してるけどそんなもん全部吹っ飛ばしてロケーションと、寂れた感じが波の音と最高の噛み合わせとなり、ここでしか味わえない風景と音を感じられる。僕は部屋に入った時、普通に感動した。部屋の痛み具合さえ芸術に感じられる程だ。いやもうこの旅館は、経営されてるご主人や奥様、お2人を含めて完璧な芸術作品と言えるのでは無いだろうか。WiFiもなく、ネットも繋がりつらいが、ここで小説や創作物なんかやったら、余計な情報が入らず、とても捗るのではなかろうか。とにかく何が言いたいかと言うと最高だったということ。

Located in a quiet area with a small traffic volume, Mt. Chokai was also seen from the window. There is no signboard of ”Sakata Station Hotel” (or small and unnoticed), and the signboard of ”Cafe Kido Sen” and ”Vent” is the landmark. The entrance was a little confusing, it was in the back of the premises, and the reception was on the 2nd floor. There is no elevator, so people with large luggage may be a little difficult. The parking lot is around the building, and about 10 cars are parked free of charge, on a first-come, first-served basis. At check-in, you may be asked to move in balance with the check-out time of other guests. The rooms are small in the case of a single room, but personally I just slept, so there was no problem. I felt a little bit of a scent, but it was air-conditioned and simple and clean. Amenity is a style that you bring as needed because there are various types of amenities in front of the front desk. Towels and bathrobes are charged, so if you want to save money, it is best to bring them. The staff is kind and it seems that you can have breakfast at the adjacent coffee shop Kido Sen. It looked delicious. When you check out, you will receive the key of the car you left at the cafe. Therefore, it seems that the departure is too early. (OK if it is about 6 o'clock)

I will stay here again next time I have a chance to go skiing in Zao. The service was very good. We stayed four nights in a row and the dinners were different for four days. It’s no problem to take a bath, dry your snowshoes, or do laundry. There happens to be a Malaysian girl who can speak Chinese (smiling every day) Great stay experience

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.
