Mercure Miyagi Zao Resort & Spa

Mercure Miyagi Zao Resort & Spa ★★★★

📍 Oniishihara Togattaonsen, 1-1, Zao

"The building looks majestic from the outside. The inside however is quite aged at some points. Broken things, a bit of mould etc. However the food and the staff is brilliant. Also the first place where I saw an IKEA Lack table being used in a hotel guestroom… From what I read they are renovating, but this will take a while…"

Hoshiakari No Yado Mahoroba ★★★

📍 39-294, Higashiurayama, Zao

"Very nice room with private bath! It would be even better if can adjust onsen water temperature (too hot) so can enjoy more fully. Food is good too, stay for 2-nights and menu is different. Would consider to come back next time!"

chillout glamping zao ★★★★

📍 Sarutani-13-1 Togattaonsen, Katta District, Zao

"The starry sky at night is superb, there are so many, you can clearly see every star twinkling. The staff is very polite and attentive, scoring 1200 points Unexpected thing, including breakfast and dinner is your choice I am better than the Café de Coral breakfast picture. They all try their best to look the same There is an independent barbecue grill, clothes rack, heater and fresh air blower The disadvantage is the location, not in the city center But I can’t, it’s like this when you kiss nature Another drawback is that the toilet and bathroom are not inside the tent. It takes more than ten steps to walk to customerService Each tent has its own private bathroom It is very convenient to get to Fujin Hot Spring"

Bardenya Soho ★★★

📍 Shinchihigashiurayama-43-1 Togattaonsen, Katta District, Zao

"I could only find accommodation without meals, and breakfast was charged, so I thought it would be okay to check in on the day, and went to check in. However, I was flatly refused, and was told that there were no restaurants nearby at check-out time. I entered the room with a bad impression of it being an inflexible place. It was about the size of 10 tatami mats, with a view of the forest, the bath in the room was business hotel style, and there were two bottles of water in the fridge. It can't be helped if you think of it as the room fee for Golden Week, but unfortunately I won't be coming back. I liked the quality of the water in the bath!"

Tamaya Ryokan ★★★

📍 21 Togattaonsen Motomachi, Katta District, Zao

"The room was clean, and the public bath was new and tidy. Private bath access is free; no reservation is needed (can be used whenever no one is present). The water temperature was quite high, which soothed my feet from walking so much during the trip. A 150 yen per person per night fee applies upon check-out. On a clear day, you can easily see a sky full of stars."

Chikusenso Onsen ★★★★★

📍 District, Zaō, Togattaonsen, Uwanohara−８８−11, Zao

"I stayed at Chikusenso, which I had been interested in for a while because it was a luxury inn in Togatta Onsen. The physical aspects of the inn, its surroundings, the atmosphere and facilities of the rooms are excellent, and most of the staff provide courteous and reliable service.In the evening, there is a mini-concert in the lounge before dinner, so you can enjoy a luxurious and extraordinary experience. seemed like the perfect place to stay. The accommodation fees are also surprisingly high for an inn deep in the mountains of Zao. Although it is the cheapest room, it has a spacious space of 43 square meters. It's a shame that the bath isn't a hot spring, but it's a pleasant experience. There is also free beer and soft drinks in the fridge. A glass of wine will be provided at the mini-concert. I feel like I've reached my limit. Now weekdays @ 46,000 yen. A large suite with a hot spring will cost over 80,000 yen. Luxury accommodation class in Hakone and Atami. However, unfortunately dinner was ✖. A spiny lobster salad that even an amateur could make, a main course of beef steak that wasn't served piping hot, and a Japanese female staff member who didn't give any explanations. (Although the Nepali staff always explain carefully) Late night snack is a curve ball called "bread". However, even if chocolate chip bread is dessert-like and okay, the other is a very ordinary croissant. With a full stomach, I didn't even feel like eating a croissant. As a result, we came to the conclusion that the accommodation was not worth the price. In addition, the breakfast was delicious as usual, so I felt that this was a ``very disappointing'' accommodation."

Shunsai No Yado Daichu Hotels in Zao

Shunsai No Yado Daichu

"Small inn located in the town. It’s mainly Japanese style but with a few western touches eg beds in tatami room and some fusion food items. The communal bath (indoor only) is not that big but there are also three private baths you can use as much as you want without needing to reserve. I liked the cute samue (pyjama type clothes) that were provided in addition to the usual yukata. We paid ¥44,000 for two people including dinner and breakfast. The drinks were included in the price but there were set times eg bar from 3:00 to 5:30 then drinks during dinner to 8:00 then nightcap till 9:00. We found it a bit strange that the bar was only until 5:30 as we had booked dinner for 7:00 (the latest time available) and as we only arrived at 5:00 we had to hurry to have a drink before dinner. This was a bit different from what we understood from the website which said drinks were available from check in until the end of dinner. We were also surprised that there the only beer available was Carlsberg. It was really strange that there was no Japanese beer not even in bottles. The food was good quality but we preferred the Japanese dishes to the western fusion dishes. Probably we will not go there again as we prefer a more traditional atmosphere with a view and outdoor bath. However we chose it because it is near Sendai and we needed to return our rental car the following morning. The other onsen towns nearby tend to mainly have big hotels so at least this was small and charming even if not totally to our individual taste."

Hoshiakari No Yado Mahoroba ★★★
"My wife and I stayed in the villa for two nights. Overall, the atmosphere was great and we were able to experience something out of the ordinary. The villa's open-air bath, filled with natural hot spring water, is charmingly carved out of a large rock. It was spacious enough to stretch out and enjoy a luxurious stay. The washing area was separated by a door, making it easy to stay warm, and I really appreciated the thoughtfulness, even in the cold season. And above all, since our room had its own open-air bath, being able to use it whenever I wanted felt incredibly luxurious. For dinner, we chose the yakiniku plan, which included a Zao beef platter, which we enjoyed grilling over charcoal to perfection. The breakfast menu was also very varied and satisfying. I ended up overeating. This is definitely the perfect inn for an extraordinary experience. Thank you for the wonderful memories."

Kappa No Yado Ryokan Sanjiro ★★★
"The bathtub was moldy, and the price wasn't low compared to other hotels in the area. There was no Wi-Fi in the room. The staff were friendly but didn't resolve the issues. I stayed two days in total, with one day in between, and they lied to me saying there were no rooms available. They were just trying to save on cleaning fees. I guess there aren't many Chinese people here. It's definitely not as good as some other hotels nearby, which are cheaper and have better views. This hotel is more suitable for taking photos. The furnishings are okay, but everything else is just so-so."

"This is my third time here. Each time, I've stayed in a different room with a private onsen. This time, it was the Mikazuki room by the river, and the bath was a bit small, just for one person. After checking in, we quickly headed straight for the outdoor private onsen. To my surprise, three Japanese women, also clearly familiar with the place, rushed there too. We were a step behind, but about 10 minutes later, we all finished at the same time, perfectly handing off the bath to each other. The weather was great this time, with sunshine. It's a shame there was no snow, though. I'll have to come back again between January and March next time."

Chikusenso Onsen ★★★★★
"The food and rooms are average, and while the service makes an effort, it falls short of expectations. The onsen area feels a bit outdated. It’s an acceptable option if you’re already in the area, but not worth making a special trip for."
