Reviews for Yamagata Hotels

Zao Shiki No Hotel
4.5/532 Reviews
We arrived at Mt Zao in the middle of Our Epic Six Week Trip To Japan, during which we stayed in nine different hotels. This room was amongst my favourites. The staff largely didn't speak English and were not helpful. We had a stand off at the restaurant as we didn't understand that we couldn't dine at there without having made a booking far in advance. After this was explained,  there was no apology or suggestions for alternative dining options. There are limited dining options in Zao. We ate at the Soup Curry place one night and a cute sushi joint another night. On the last night we ended up getting an ebiken bento box from the local L****ns as nothing was open. We did book breakfast each morning and that was fantastic. Lots of Japanese and Western options and it seemed like the food had all been prepared onsite. The hotel is very pretty, with a lovely view of the forest from the lobby. There is a common room with free coffee, tea and ice creams. People were pretty friendly in there. The hotel is the furthest from the 'town' but the closest to the ski lift and to the 'sulfurous' onsen. The ski lift is about 50 metres from the hotel and the ride up and down is spectacular. I thought the onsen was top notch. The sulfurous onsen outside has milky water that is supposed to be good for your complexion. It was fun having an onsen with snow all around. We stayed in the Western style room - it was spacious and well appointed. Our little lounge area had a beautiful view of pine trees and lots of snow. There was also a similar view from the luxurious bath tub (but I didn't use that tub as the onsen was so good.) The beds in our room were very hard. Our room also had a massage chair which I used for hours a time. It was a bit of a trek getting to Mt Zao. The hotel staff weren't very helpful with organising buses but they did drop us off at the bus stop early in the morning and we were picked up on our day of arrival. I know that the staff weren't friendly to us because of the language barrier, which is a shame because everyone should enjoy this venue. I would stay here again for sure. Next time we'll book the dinner set. It did smell amazing ! --
Zao Onsen Omiya Ryokan
4.3/528 Reviews
Breakfast is a typical Japanese breakfast, very good, dinner is delicious, grilled Yamagata beef is favorite. The hotel is close to Zao Bus Station, but the hotel can pick up at JR Yamagata Station, but reservations must be made three days in advance. There is a parking lot at the entrance, but it is not known whether it is used by the hotel.
Takamiya Ryokan Miyamaso
4.5/519 Reviews
The service was very good. Although I knew beforehand that the hotel staff could call us to the Zao bus station to drive us to the hotel. The hotel staff picked me up with my name tag, Still moved. It also picked us up for free to other attractions in Zao. The hotel's catering service was great and the hot spring facilities were good. Although the hotel's equipment looks a bit old, it matches the theme of the snow scene and its own hot spring hotel, but it has a unique flavor. On the day I left, I missed some items in the room. I left Yamagata at that time, so I emailed the hotel, and the hotel quickly delivered my leftover items to my next hotel. thank you very much!
Zao Kokusai Hotel
4.4/526 Reviews
It takes 10 minutes to walk from the Zao bus station to the hotel. You can call the hotel car to pick it up, but the hotel is the closest to the gondola lift. It is very convenient. The hotel meals are great. To add dinner, 6600 yen per person after tax. The dinner is very rich and there are Yamagata cows. The hot spring is also a milky sulfur spring. The skin is smooth after soaking. , This shop has been recommended to friends!
Takamiya Hotel Lucent
4.3/531 Reviews
We stayed for 2 nights with two couples from June 18. The room was a large room of 30 square meters of Japanese bed on the 3 floor, and there were 2 elevators, convenient, old and weak feet. Dinner was delicious for two days with a great kaiseki dish with a good appearance and a variety of ingredients. The hot springs were in the inner bath and the open air, respectively, with a milky white bath with a rich sulfur fragrance. I was able to use it in a cheap plan, but I want to take care of it again next time.
Lodge Christmas Rose Zao
3.9/58 Reviews
The only owner of the hotel is an old couple, and they are very nice people. The boss can speak a little English. The hotel is on a hillside, so it's best to call the boss to pick him up by car. It will be difficult to climb the hill by yourself with luggage. Dinner was at a nearby restaurant, and the owner drove us there. To soak in the hot spring, the boss drove you to the nearby Genchi Hot Spring, which is not in the hotel.
