Great location near the train station to make it a convenient spot for getting to and from other parts of the city, including quickly getting cabs. Nice views & restaurant options within the hotel. The city visitor center, multi-story library & even a bike rental & tour area are all part of the building. Food is good in the main restaurant & while it might seem pricy, it’s actually a good deal for a good quality, unlimited, buffet style selection of local and western food options.

The location was fantastic! Able to walk to the farthest ski lift to warm up and work our way out to the other end of the resort. Walked straight from the bus stop to the hotel, roughly 10 minute walk with all our luggage. The accommodation was clean, ADORABLE, and the staff was some of the friendliest I have experienced in my life. The room was spacious, the onsen was absolutely incredible. Cinderella bar/restaurant was phenomenal as well as the other restaurant in the hotel. Breakfast was amazing as well. HIGHLY recommend staying here.

Very convenient to both bus and train station. Food shops, souvenir shops, visitor's center, mall and restaurants nearby. Basic comfortable room with a view. Clean, refrigerator, comfortable beds. Great breakfast. Tsuruoka Yamagata is a great part of Japan to explore. From here, you can go to Sakata, to Mt. Haguro and the Dewa Sanzan, or take a train to Atsumi Onsen on the coast and on to Niigata or Sado Island. You can also go north to Akita and Aomori. It's a place you can see more of "real Japan" . Tsuruoka has a lot to offer, with interesting antique and thrift shops, amazing museums and temples, groundbreaking architecture, renowned food (UNESCO gastronomy designation). You can arrive by train, plane or bus, if you don't have a car. There are travel agents, if you want assistance.

The staff and facilities are an exceptionally good combination of kindness, effective operations, and responsiveness. The breakfast service was consistently as good as any three star restaraunt, with handmade croissants, international and local delicacies which were both scrumptious and nutritious. Maruyama san was exceptionally helpful, providing directions to local dining which enabled my wife and I to take a convenient path to Ooki's before last order on our first night, and all of the front desk team were both professional and friendly.

    I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Metropolitan Yamagata!

    I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Metropolitan Yamagata! The location is absolutely perfect—conveniently connected to the station, making it easy to explore the city and surrounding areas. The hotel itself is modern, clean, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and relaxing experience. The staff were very welcoming and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. While their hospitality was excellent, I did find that a bit more fluency in English communication would enhance the experience for international guests. That being said, their warmth and willingness to help more than made up for any language barriers. Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend Hotel Metropolitan Yamagata to anyone visiting the area. Looking forward to staying here again in the future!

    Yonezawa city has Uesugi Jinjya, the site of the Uesugi clan castle. It is very nice, and they have museum and things to see. It's worth a visit to check it out. There is two near-by Onsen, the Onogawa and Shirabu to stay. Yonezawa beef is superb, one of the best in the country. It is also expensive.

    Sakata is a very quiet town with a few facilities.

    Sakata is a very quiet town with a few facilities. Most of the attractions are walkable if you stay close to the river, slightly long walk from train station. You can visit all attractions within a day (two night stays recommended if you arrived late). Please make sure that the day you arrive all the places are open (not Tuesday or Wednesday). Another interesting town in Japan for a visit.

    Nice village style ski resort.

    Nice village style ski resort. Not busy except for the weekend, which ended up a long weekend as it was the Emperor's birthday on the monday. Always good to check public holidays when going to a ski resort and arrive on a Sunday afternoon.

    Yamagata is a beautiful city.

    Yamagata is a beautiful city. It was also our base for visiting other places. We went to Yamadera, Ginza Onsen and Zao Onsen by train and bus, from the Yamagata station. Had Ramen, which was reasonable in value

    Lots of snow during our stay in December. Great skiing.

    Lots of snow during our stay in December. Great skiing. Ideally stay around ski lifts so its easier to get to the lifts.. Just be aware to choose a sunny day to take the ski lifts to view the Snow Monster! Takes around more than 1 hour to get on the ski lifts. Many tourist and queue is long. You wont be able to see much if the weather is bad. Never short of snow in Zao Onsen. Nice little village with Lawsons, Family Marts to get your usual Japanese stuff. Limited restaurants but can get by with simple meals. If you want to get to Yamagata City its only 30 mins away by taxi. You have a choice if you want more varieties.

    The Yamagata Ski area (Zao Onsen) is fantastic.

    The Yamagata Ski area (Zao Onsen) is fantastic. It wasnt crowded, lessons for kids and adults were AUD$55 for 4 hours, lifts were @4$ per lift. Gear hire was AUD$65 for 2 days PP. In Australia lift passes are $250 per day alone. The hotel Sailor Hutte was literally at the base of the ski lifts. Food was cheap ($10-14 per meal) booze was cheap ($3.50 for a beer). The guys at the Hotel Sailor Hutte were great, make an effort to chat with them via your translator app. Its worth it. One more thing, I would recommend buying Shinkansen tickets directly from JR East rail online. Heaps cheaper than buying a seven day pass unless you are planning to spend 7 days on the train. FYI there are 3 Shinkansen companies East, Central and West. They have there own websites a bit clunky in English but it works. Good luck.

    In the summer, Zao is very quiet during weekdays.

    In the summer, Zao is very quiet during weekdays. It rains almost every day, so it's advisable to pack quick-dry clothes and sturdy shoes for walking uphill and downhill. If you prefer fruits and vegetables, make sure to bring some with you, as there's no fresh market in town and the only local convenience store doesn't offer many healthy choices. If you happen to encounter a serow, don't make the mistake we did by running away thinking it was a hyena—quite silly of us!
