The reception staff made exceptional assistance to send us to nearby hotel which we stay for another night in Zao onsen. Understand that the hotel normally does not provide any free transportation other than to Yamagata Station. Secondly, the pick up waited for as we were late because we waited at the wrong exit. We were about 10 mins late. Very helpful staff and driver.

This place is beautiful in every way. The staff were incredibly helpful and nice. The room was spacious, clean and had the most incredible view of the surrounding snowcapped mountains. Location was great. And the private bathhouse was a plus for someone shy like me.

We had shabushabu for dinner, and it was excellent. Partner and I are both not breakfast people so we just had some coffee and pastries, but I think the breakfast buffet is also good. The location is also perfect for a weekend getaway from a busy working week. The staff were all nice and service was good.

We loved the japanese style room and wearing the yukatas. There are two types of onsen directly in the hotel, very nicely decorated: the natural ones (sulfur) and some other hot bath to actually wash and soak. The dinner and breakfast were very fine and delicious, delicately presented. It's a 10-15 min walk to the city, very easily accessible.

The room was beautiful, I loved the view and the little touches like the gorgeous teapot. The onsens were wonderful, especially the larger outdoor one. I’d go back just for the onsen. The location was also good, opposite a gondola and a chairlift.

    Very beautiful traditional ryokan, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Had a blast snowboarding for the first time and enjoyed the onsen after a whole day out in the cold. Breakfast and dinner are delicious and very large portions.

    Breakfast is good and staff at breakfast room is nice. Size of the room is quite large for Japan standards. The room is well equipped, storage is great. Outdoor onsen is nice, but is it 100m away from the hotel, not a big deal. But just keep that in mind.
