Hotel Pemandian Air Panas di Yamagata

A 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.

Extremely nice staffs in the hotel, although some staffs can’t speak fluent English, there’s no problem in communicating as they are very willing to understand the customer by using translator. Breakfast and dinner were fantastic Japanese meals with no repeated dishes. Hotel room was spacious and clean. Hotel will drive you in and out to cater your itinerary! Wish I could’ve stayed longer!

Sesampainya di Stasiun Zao bisa telpon pihak hotel. Ada free pick up and drop off di hotel pada siang hari. Hanya membutuhkan waktu lebih dari 10 menit jalan kaki. Hotelnya cukup besar, ber***a Jepang kamar dan fasilitas ala jepang.Areanya juga bagus.Luas sekali untuk 2 orang.Ada pemandangan bersalju di luar jendela.Pemandian air panas outdoor juga sangat bagus pemandangan. Anda dapat menangkap salju dengan tangan Anda. Stasiun kereta gantung untuk menonton pemandangan salju dan bermain ski sangat dekat. Tidak banyak makanan di tempat ini. Hotel tidak menyediakan makan siang atau makan malam makan. Dibutuhkan sekitar 10 menit untuk berjalan keluar untuk makan. Ada lebih banyak orang di akhir pekan dan harganya lebih tinggi, jadi sebaiknya jangan pergi ke sana di akhir pekan

The room was beautiful, with tatami, yukata, tabi, and a little bag with towels to take with you when you go to their proper outdoor onsen that's right across the street. The onsen has good amenities, has 2 baths one indoor that's around 42 - 45 degrees, and outdoor one that's usually cooler around 38 - 42. The best thing about that onsen is that there usually not many people there, often I was there alone. The breakfast was great too, there were at least around 20 - 30 different dishes/foods to choose from. The hotel also sells discounted ski passes, and has it's own ski/snowboard rental service for lower price than most of the rental services nearby (the snowboard was of great quality, the shoes not so much). When we checked out, the hotel arranged a van to take us to the bus terminal as well. Overall, one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at in Japan. 👌🏻

Overall the experience was average. For the same price at other hotels I've been to, the service, room quality would have been much better. The facilities are generally aged. The room was old a bit dusty and some parts of the tatami floor had sunken in. Service was pleasant. Few important things to note: - poor ventilation at meal times meany the whole hotel and your room would smell like meat. - shuttle service only for to and from the bus station. (Most other hotels provide shuttles to the ski lifts) - the ski lifts are about 10-15mins walk away with full gear on (boards, etc)
