An old style hotel with a beautiful Onsen and nice foot spa. Friendly staff who tried their best to explain things in English. Nice free transfer service to and from Yamagata station but need to book 3 days prior. Breakfast and Dinner options are fantastic and very tasty. Also walkable to the Cable car station.

The hotel rooms are spacious and the environment is comfortable. The large public bath has a nice environment and is divided into indoor and open-air baths. Breakfast and dinner are also delicious, the food quality is high, I will come again next time!

The hotel is very large, with very good facilities. You can rent ski equipment, buy ski tickets, have a good dinner, and the service staff is warm and thoughtful. It is a very good stay experience

The Japanese style is in the South Building. It is relatively old and has a bit of an old-fashioned feel. The room is relatively small. The toilet is not automatically flushed! Except for the tatami, which is more fun. It is not the most recommended room type.

There was a problem when reserving the shuttle bus. The hotel required that the shuttle bus be reserved three days in advance, but the hotel must be notified through the form on the official website. Two of the two items in the form were to fill in the phone number and hiragana. Hiragana can also be found on the Internet. I tried filling in my home phone number, but it didn't pass the check on the form, so the notification couldn't be sent. The online voice call using Trip.com only has Japanese phone recording, so it must have been after office hours.
I once asked Trip.com customer service to help contact the hotel and asked for a real reservation or email address, but the reservation was rejected and the email was not responded to.
The whole process gave the impression that the hotel did not want guests to successfully reserve a shuttle bus. I hope the hotel can improve this. The name always has the word "international" in it, so I hope the service can also connect to international customers.
