We arrived late (20:15) due to temporary closure of Sendai Airport (tsunami warning), and obviously we were late for the hotel dinner after having to travel all the way up from Narita instead.
We were tired and hungry when we arrived, but the hotel disappointed us even more for not reserving our paid dinners for us, nor was there a reimbursement. Did they just throw the food away after all the preparation work? The (presumably) manager's attitude was one of inflexibility and apathy, so atypical of Japanese etiquette. The restaurants nearby were all closed already and we had to starve for the first night there. Very unpleasant and inconsiderate arrangement.

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.
