The facilities were new and clean, and the staff at the front desk and restaurant were polite, friendly, and helpful.
Although it's a little far from Sakata's tourist area, the convenience of being in front of the station makes it a good location for me.
Love this hotel. It's beautifully designed by 坂茂 and it lives up to his fame. The buildings look like they are floating over the rice fields. Both dinners and breakfast were excellent. Most ingredients are sourced locally and they are delicious. But what I love the most is the open baths. Both are small, but they're carefully designed with a tranquil, soothing view. I'd love to come back again just for the hotel.
It’s quite a big hotel, 3 buildings are connected and there are many rooms. The rooms are a bit outdated but still maintained well. Service was good and flexible. Transportation to the village is quite necessary when the roads are covered by snow, especially with luggage. They have free shuttle bus which is great.
Best parts: 1. Dinner semi-buffet has unlimited alcoholic beverages including local sake, draft beer and wines. 2. Ski & board rental shop is right outside of the hotel. Although hotel only accept cash for the lift ticket, you can rent the gear (rental shop accepts credit card) and ski down the hill (20sec) to the cable ticket counter to buy ticket, pay by credit card. The location has lifts 5,6 and cable 4
The service was superb! I went to the wrong branch, and they arranged a car to take us to the correct one, saving me from walking in the heavy snow. They even helped me with my two large suitcases. The view from the window was stunning, and the hot springs were absolutely first-class. Both breakfast and dinner offered a wide variety of delicious options. The room was also very spacious.
The rooms and bedding were clean and comfortable. I stayed at the nearby marathon tournament, but I was grateful for the breakfast earlier than usual. I thought the bath facilities would need a little update, but the others are generally satisfied. I think Cospa is good.
They offer different wines throughout the day, which is a great choice for anyone who enjoys drinking. The private onsen is also highly recommended and worth experiencing. The entire hotel has a strong artistic vibe. The only downside to the public bath is that there's a building in the view, which feels a bit strange.
The hotel location is excellent and very convenient.
The room is also very spacious and comfortable.
However, one thing we were slightly disappointed with was that our request for two extra bottles of water was declined by the front desk, as they mentioned only two bottles are provided per day. We’re not sure if this is a standard policy across hotels in Japan.
Overall, we were still very satisfied with our stay.
Facilities: Average, not very new, but not bad.
Hygiene: The sanitation is pretty good
Environment: The town is very quiet, the snowy scenery is beautiful, and every household has a persimmon tree
Service: The service needs to be improved. The guy at the front desk can hardly speak English and is not very enthusiastic, which is different from many Japanese hostels
Dining: Dinner is not bad, quite rich, and the tableware is also beautiful
Special praise for the free snacks and coffee in the lobby☕️
The food was full and full. The salt-grilled salmon and helmet-grilled salmon were especially delicious and very satisfying, but the pot was completely cold while I was eating them, so I hope customers will be free to set the pot on fire. It was. It was a pity that the open-air bath could not be used due to strong winds, but according to my husband, I put it for men.
The room was comfortable with an ocean view, but it was hot and hot anyway ... As soon as I checked in and entered the room, it became ”Atsu !!”, but the type that does not touch the air conditioner setting (The air conditioner cannot be adjusted in each room), and as soon as I arrived, I opened the window. However, in Yamagata in February, it was snowy outside, and it was cold when it was open all the time, and it was difficult to adjust the temperature. Still, when I closed the window, it was really hot, and I opened the window a little and slept at night. I'm sorry I couldn't sleep much because I was worried about the wind sound and the sash rusting from the window that opened a little. I want you to improve.
Great hotel with great location to explore the shirotsuzuji park and shrine.

GGazing EyesAfter reading the introduction of this hot spring hotel, Zaimu Sakaeya Hotel was once a hotel in a logging camp and a timber wholesaler with a history of more than 100 years.
The entire hot spring hotel uses a large amount of logs for decoration and construction, which is very unique. The single room I stayed in was very new and very clean.
Breakfast is a set meal, and miso soup, tea, drinks, etc. are also provided. At this price, it's a great value.
Since there is no shuttle bus, it takes about 15 minutes to walk from Kaminoyama Onsen Station to Zaiki Sakaeya.

RRobert QinLinhai Japanese-style hot spring hotel, the beautiful proprietress will come to say hello in the morning and evening. The Bohai Sea outside the window has a beautiful view. The interior is decorated with replicas of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses shipped from Xi'an, China. The hotel has 58 rooms. It is said that most of the guests in Taiwan and South Korea. After the epidemic, there were fewer mainland guests and did not recover. The room is with Western style, tatami hall, Western style twin bed.
AAnonymous UserThe seaview is great and the service is good, we also enjoy the buffet dinner and breakfast, although facilities are not as new as other similar type of hotels in the vicinity.
