The hotel is generally good.
However, there is one thing that annoys me a bit. I chose the meal-included package and saw on other platforms that the meal offered was beef kaiseki. But I still chose to book through the Ctrip platform. The day I arrived, I asked the reception what dinner was and I was told it was pork shabu-shabu. I asked if I could change to beef kaiseki for an additional fee and the front desk told me it was not possible. When I entered the restaurant during the meal, I saw that everyone except our table was eating beef kaiseki.
So, is this discrimination or a platform problem?

There was a little bit of a problem with the pick-up at Zao Onsen Station at the beginning. The operator's English was not very good, but we were finally picked up! Then the hotel is relatively old, but very clean! On the last day when we were about to leave, we asked if we needed to pick up guests at the station, and then they just helped us to pick up at the station, so the round-trip pick-up service was very good!

All hotels were built during the heyday of Japan. The rooms are small but very cost-effective. The facilities are a bit old and the sense of age is very strong. But the location is good. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to Yamagata Station. There are also many places to eat around. It is a good choice to stay in Yamagata. The breakfast room is relatively large, and there is no time to eat when skiing.

The staff were very kind, and although our itinerary required frequent transportation, they were happy to provide pick-up and drop-off services many times. They also booked the tickets for the Zao Mountain cable car on our behalf, and also booked the return tickets online for us. Upon departure, a dedicated staff member accompanied us to the station and communicated with the station service center staff in Japanese. They provided delicious breakfast and dinner, and also had a dedicated translator to help us communicate with them. There were so many elaborate and lovely decorations in the hot spring hotel, which created a quiet and calm atmosphere. The soundproofing was also good, and the bed sheets and comforters were very comfortable. Overall, we are very satisfied! This is a must-visit hotel! Thank you for your hospitality! 🫶🏻

Great Ryokan and food. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this place. From the outside it didn’t look like a hotel for tourists but we’re pleasantly surprised after we stepped inside. It’s a beautiful Ryokan and probably the best in the area. Only complaint is there’s nothing much else around. Most of the restaurants are closed for business and not many shops around as well.

A wonderful place to stay in. The service was fantastic. The room was huge, much too large for just a solo traveler like me but it would have been perfect if I had brought my wife and child along. The onsen quality was great, albeit the fittings at the shower area were a bit old. The food was hands down amazing and featured great local produce. Honestly there was too much for one person to finish! What I especially liked was that they had a separate room on the first floor where if it was too early for you to check in, you could drop your luggage off, change, and then grab your gear and head to the slopes. Same thing if you intend to charge the slopes a bit more on your last day, just leave your stuff in the storage room, hit the slopes, come back and change out, hit the onsen for the last time, then go off. Definitely recommending this place to my friends visiting Zao.

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

When we arrived, we were very happy to find a spacious and relaxing atmosphere.
It was a long time since we last had a private room together as a couple, so we were looking forward to it.
The view from the room was also very good and we were satisfied, but the baths were small and there were only two types, one open-air bath and one inside the building, so we were a little disappointed. However, there were two saunas, they lent us swimsuits, and we were happy that yukatas were free. However, what impressed us the most was that the staff member took a photo of the couple and asked us if we wanted one, and we were so touched that we wanted to go back again.
It was hard to take a photo of the couple, so it felt like we were traveling alone, haha
I want to go again.
Oh! I recommend the spacious space where you can read a book.
Very Good

LLC1807Although it is a traditional Japanese-style inn, there are art decorations and piano music playing for a long time, making it feel leisurely and comfortable. The food quality is better than expected, with western elements added, I am very satisfied.
The hotel has a shuttle bus service, but no relevant information was provided during the booking process. We walked to the hotel by ourselves, which took more than ten minutes. It was a bit embarrassing in the snow in winter.
林林阿彩This time I went to Tibetan Wangshubing to find a lot of hotels. After reading the evaluation of the website, I chose this hotel. I was disappointed after I actually checked in.
The view of the hotel is beautiful, the meals are good, the service staff are friendly, the location is good, and the connection service is also provided.
But it may be that the hotel is old and there is a problem with the water pipe line. After we took a shower, we had to put the water in the bathtub. When we found that the water was discharged on the floor of the bathroom, not directly discharged into the water pipe. The water discharged in an instant was mixed with a lot of dirty things, super disgusting, What is even more terrible is that the drainage of the bathroom floor is blocked, the water is too overflowing, our room is wet, the floor is carpeted, causing us a lot of trouble. At 10 o'clock in the evening, no one was there, and we stayed until the next day to check out, which was very inconvenient.
GGuest UserIn 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
OOcooIt's close to the ski resort. Unfortunately, the road to the ski resort is a steep mountain road, about 200 meters away. It's hard to carry your skis up and down the mountain.
The river near you at night. The sound of flowing water is so loud, it almost feels like nature.
The hotel has a bit of history, the room for 4 people has just enough space, and the toilet is on the small side.
There are table tennis, table tennis and football machines in the lobby for entertainment
There are hot springs that are comfortable enough, and the outdoor hot spring scenery is great. Don’t have high expectations.
Staff are polite
