Perfect hosts, they are so accommodating and kind. They made recommendations about everything I asked, made sure the stay was comfortable and even went above and beyond for me so I can better experience the area (like giving me towels even after I checked out) I highly recommend this place if you’re in Zao Onsen! Will definitely stay again when I’m back.

Probably one of the best hotel experiences I've had. All of the staff was extremely helpful and nice. There was a bit of a language barrier but they were very accommodating nonetheless. My room was a good size with a nice view, I came for fall color viewing and I had a fantastic view outside my window. The hot springs at the hotel were extremely nice. The water was just the right temperature for me and it made my skin feel fantastic afterwards. I personally prefered the sulfur bath more but both were great. I was lucky enough to go when it wasn't that busy and had the entire thing to myself. Last but not least, the best part about my stay was the food. I stayed for 2 nights and was able to indulge in some of the most delicious food. The dinner and breakfast for each day was different but equally as delicious. If you ever stay here, you must get the option with meals provided.

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.

Hotel's free bus shuttle from Yamagata train station made it easy to commute to the hotel. The location is excellent within walking distance of snow/ski areas. We purchased Zao Ropeway passes from the hotel (cash only). Complimentary accesss to 2 Onsens and boots and coat was an added bonus! We also enjoyed our Japanese style family dinners at their on site restaurant. Staff was very helpful in calling various agencies to check ski lesson availability as most of the agencies spoke in Japanese only. They also helped us book a taxi on our way back to Yamagata train station as the shuttle service only operates twice a day. The rooms were large and beautiful with breathtaking views of the mountain trees covered in snow!
