My biggest mistake of this trip to Yamagata is to book this hotel. It's a good hotel but it's in the middle of nowhere. You will want to stay around the city of Yamagata province which is also called Yamagata city just so you can get to famous tourist spots. However this is 4 hours away from all of these. I had to book another hotel so I can stay 1 day in the city when I wanted to visit these places and the traveling time just completely made me exhausted. It took like 1 day to go to a place and 1 day to go back. It was so terrible, I was crying. This place is closed to Shonai airport not Yamagata airport so I also had to book another flight from Shonai. I wasted so much money for transportation. It was such a terrible experience.
However the hotel is incredibly beautiful with smart design in everything. I loved the onsen very much. If it was just a vacation/restcation for relaxing purpose or isolate yourself from the human word, it's the best choice for you. Since its in the middle of the endless rice field, there is nothing to eat except for paying very high price to eat at the hotel's restaurant. And the food was just okay.
The beauty of this hotel was like a trap. Its like I was blind from its beauty and couldn't see all other disavantages.
We stayed here for two nights. The front desk staff on our first day spoke some Chinese, which was a nice bonus. Our room was super spacious and had a view of the ski slopes! Dinner was amazing! They had sukiyaki with Yamagata beef slices and a buffet! When we returned to our room, they had already turned down our beds. The breakfast buffet was also fantastic! This place offers great value for money, and the hot springs are wonderful too!
This hotel has a few downsides. First, if you're staying on the third floor, you'll have to carry your own luggage as the hotel staff are few and you have to do everything yourself. Second, breakfast and dinner are just mediocre, so don't expect too much, especially since this is only a mid-range onsen hotel. Given that the room rates were particularly expensive for New Year's, you really can't have high expectations. Still, being able to come here for Christmas to enjoy the snowy mountain scenery and ancient hot springs is already a wonderful escape from city life. We stayed here for five days, and the most unsatisfactory part was being forced to eat breakfast at a fixed time. That's simply unacceptable when you're on vacation. The Japanese truly are incredibly stubborn!
Charming onsen hotel located 5 min drive from Kaminoyama station. A shuttle pick up can be arranged with the hotel ahead of time available from 1430-1800.
It’s a relatively dated property but well maintained. A small public onsen with a rotenburo, and a small private onsen within the room comfortable for two. The spring water through the property is the same.
Meals provided are extensive, balanced and nutritious featuring local specialities like yam, Yamagata and Yonezawa beef.
Drinks are offered at the lounge in the afternoon from 1700, morning coffee and tea available from 0800.
Overall a comfortable and luxurious stay.
in general very good, a minor comment. the website of hotel only provide the choice of dinner and breadfast, the website of trip.com only provice breakfast. i stay 3 nights and only want to have 1 dinner in hotel, then i need to book one night from hotel website, 2 nights from trip.com. then contact hotel directly and join the 2 bookingd
The hotel has free parking, which is a big thumbs up, you can park in the parking lot behind the hotel, then take a ticket to reception and plug it in, you can park until the next morning, and the famous and delicious Mizawa beef next morning to the hotel
Great location directly connected to Yamagata station. My room was at the South wing which seemed new. The room is on the small side for 2 adults but has everything we needed, was pleasantly surprised with the handy steam iron! There are 2 x coin laundry at South Tower level 2; vending machines; microwave oven. Ice machine on several floors. The front desk staff were helpful, they allowed us check-in before 3pm and helped make a reservation at Yamagyu restaurant, really appreciated their help. The location is really convenient with the taxi stand and bus terminal right in front. Lots of food options around it.
Laoqian Premium Hotel だけあり Equipment も Pick-up も Full く Problem ありません.
However, one thing I was worried about was that I went to the dining room at the designated time at dinner, but I had to wait a long time. There was no more like a string to hold the sleeve of a yukata. It may have happened, but it was very disappointing because it was a luxury inn that I rarely go to.
The hot springs are beautiful, there are outdoors and family-style private hot springs, egg flower soup springs
The room view is beautiful, it is snowing, the room has a heating stove, when booking, I saw a private hot spring in the quadruple room, but the hotel said no, the room does not have a hot spring and shower place, but the hotel arranged a family-style hot spring, which should have been charged but later did not charge us. The words are not clear, maybe it is the private hot spring written in the reservation room.
The hotel provides a shuttle bus service, which is provided immediately. I originally thought that it only provides a shuttle between the Zao Onsen Bus Terminal and the hotel, but in fact, the hotel also provides a shuttle bus service when going to the cable car. I really appreciate this service! The hotel's location is great for skiing! The photo is taken outside the hotel gate; we booked a double room, but actually stayed in a triple room, so it was relatively spacious; in addition to the theme dishes for dinner, there are other all-you-can-eat dishes, so you will never go hungry, and the breakfast is also all-you-can-eat, which is impeccable; to sum up, if I go to Zao Onsen again in the future, I will still choose this hotel!

GGuest UserWhat a gem of a place! The special thing about this place is that there are 5 private outdoor onsens as well as a gender-segregated public bath and one mixed gender outdoor bath (for this one, you need to wear a bathing suit). If you are shy of exposing yourself or like taking photos, then those 5 private outdoor onsens are just perfect. I went in the autumn, which is cooling already and I can imagine what a treat it will be in winter with all the snow.
The hotel is located almost to the top of the hill. Either drive or call them ahead and they will pick you up and drop you off in the vicinity.
My room is quaint and Japanese-styled. I didn't pay for the meal package as I knew I'd would be busy trying out all the onsens available. They are all open 24hrs. By the way, private onsen number 1 and 5 are the best and most picturesque!!!
I'm doing all a favor and posting all the pictures of the private onsens.

คคนสวยมาแล้วจ้าReally great hotel in Zao onsen. The location is easy to find and free parking for guest. The room is big and clean. I love the window in our room see the snow falling and small pond as well. We didn’t booking the dinner & breakfast so I don’t know the food taste. However, onsen is really great!! I love outdoor onsen that you can see the view of Zao mountain while bathing and snow falling to your head!! but just scare of bear. So nice to stayed here!
GGuest UserA 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.
啾啾啾啾啾啾The accommodation is about a 10-minute walk from the station, which is a bit more difficult when it snows. It seems that he provides parking lot, which is more suitable for people who drive.
There is also a large supermarket within a 10-minute walk nearby, which is very convenient.
The baths for men and women are separate, so you don't have to wait for a long time, which is very convenient! Very recommended
There is a free bar and snacks downstairs which is a good deal.
GGuest UserExcellent authentic ryokan experience. Twenty minutes drive away from Zao ski area. The room was spacious and clean with comfortable bedding that kept us warm throughout the nights. Breakfast was perfect. Onsen is minimal and not big but the water quality is excellent. Our skin was moisturized throughout our trip without the need for body lotion! The hosts helped us with restaurant reservations, led us the way, and even drove to get sushi dinner for us on New Year’s Eve when we were out of options on food. And when we needed help with our car rental, they were again helping us deal with the problem. Though they do not speak much English, their kindness broke all language barriers. Their hospitality and warm service minds are beyond words. We recommend this property to anyone seeking a home away from home. Thank you again!
ササンメイト1 night 2 day, to go to Sakata fireworks festival
I used 3 rooms for 6 families.
I was saved by changing the check-in time zone for this convenience. I didn't tell you that there was an elderly person, so it was a room that went up the steep stairs, so I learned that if I told you at the time of booking from the next time, I might be given a little preferential treatment.
Although it is a very old building, the exterior has been renovated and the inside has been cleaned cleanly. The corridor was shiny even if I walked barefoot.
I didn't use it because brown water came out of the water supply in the bathroom in the room.
I think it is better to bring earplugs when sleeping because I can hear the voice and snoring of the next guest.
There is no toilet in the room.
There was one bath for men and women, and it was a bath with a slightly larger bathtub and 3 showers for women. About 4 people entered at the same time. It was available until 12 o'clock at night. I could use it around 6 o'clock in the morning.
Breakfast was a dish that made the nutritionally balanced body happy, mainly vegetables, and it was very delicious. I was really happy with such a meal because eating out is the main thing during the trip.
After all, the rice is delicious! It was Tsuya hime that day.
It was a fluttering stay, but the host was very kind and kind.
thank you for your help.
NNS.TLGreat location, but overall underwhelming
The hotel’s location is excellent—right next to the station, which made getting around very convenient. However, aside from that, the experience was average. Cleanliness was okay, but not exceptional compared to other hotels in Japan. The Wi-Fi was unstable and slow, which made working or streaming difficult. Breakfast was disappointing; even at 1,000 JPY, it didn’t feel worth the price. Overall, the location is the main highlight.

GGuest UserNice and clean business hotel very near the Yamagata train station. Location is top notch! Basic hotel with everything you'd need. There is an artificial onsen on the 14th floor, which was good for a soak after a long day. Breakfast buffet was basic but tasty. Warm foods like rice, miso soup, bacon, stir fried veggies, etc were available in addition to some pastries and bread with butter and jams.
Will definitely stay again when in the Yamagata area.
