Yamagata hotels & accommodations

Most of the Metropolitan hotels are just beside the JR stations and Metropolitan Yamagata hotel is itself in the station building. I have stayed in this hotel a few times and I like the excellent location. The room is clean and spacious. There are many eateries nearby and also a shopping centre in the building. I strongly recommend this hotel for first time visitors ...

If you are going to Zao Onsen for ski or snowboard, you have to know that all the hotels here are not ski-in and ski-out. So book a hotel with a good location is very important. Takamiya Hotel Lucent is just in front of the central ropeway center, very easy to go up to the mountain. Many of my friends they all recommend Takamiya Hotel Lucent, because of its friendly ...

The place is located about a 10 min walk to the nearest ski lift, has two hot springs that were excellent after a day of skiing. The dinner was exceptional, with fresh meats, sashimi, soups, veggies. There are a couple of massage chairs in the lounge, that were utilized by me a lot. The rooms were large and the tatami futons were actually very comfortable and I slep...

All Staff is very excellent in good manner, hospitality and helpful. Hotel sells cake and breakfast, but it didn't include on our stay. We stay on Feb 16, 2017 winter season for go to Zao Onsen. However, we arrived late fr Hakodate - Yamagata in which last bus operated up to 20pm. Thus, we prefer to re-arrange schedule and staff recommend Public onsen by taxi. The taxi...

[Plus] 1. Very good service 2. Very good location - (1 minute walk to Zao Rope Way) 3. Nice view from breakfast room 4. Reply my email within an hour 5. Pick-up service ----------------- [Minus] 1. Room rate was a bit too high in comparison with our expectations 2. Dinner was just average - Not "Wow" ----------------- [Other] Zao onsen is a quite small town...

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and was impressed with the value I got from my stay. I paid about USD50 per night for this business class hotel and will definitely returns owing to its superiority on: 1) location - the hotel is located just a mere 500m from the Yamagata train station and regional inter-city bus station (to Sendai, Zao Onsen, Kaminoyama). The hotel ...

We stayed 2 nights at APA Hotel Yamagata-Ekimae-Odori from 7th Nov to 9th Nov. The hotel situated from a walkable distance from JR Yamagata train station. The checkin-checkout procedure was fast and smooth. We were informed that we can get free small breakfast (bread + drinks) each morning which was nice (we didn't end up coming down to take it though since we don't us...

We were a family of three. Spent one night at Hammond & were very impressed by the ryokan staff! They tried their very best to accomodate us, drove us back & forth between Hammond & cable car station, gave constructive ideas about the hiking trail. The ryokan itself is dated but generally it is clean & organised. The hot spring is small but traditional & "authentic". F...

The room is big and clean. The onsen in the hotel is nice and comfortable. You can not use soap in the public onsen outside the hotel. The hotel owners are willing to provide any assistance you need. For example, I can not find any shop that sells apple and strawberry then I ask help for that to the hotel owner, he gave me one bag with 5 sweet apple in 10 minutes!!! It...

We were made amazingly welcome and received terrific assistance to best enjoy our stay. Traditional dinner, breakfast, futon on tatami floor, koi in the pond, lovely big onsen, etc etc. We were seeking a traditional experience and that’s what we got.

This is probably the biggest room I've ever seen in a hotel in Japan (considering I paid the rate of a budget hotel). Hotel is a bit of a walk from Yamagata station but it is near a mall and some food places so I'd say it's a convenient spot once you have arrived. Everything would have been great if not for the pillow that felt like a sack of rice.

I've stayed in this city for a few days changing between several hotel. This is the best for the money. Pro: Very nice breakfast, with lots of variety Very friendly staff Car Park is free Room is big enough Breakfast until 10am Check time is 11am Cons: Car park is a bit far but managable

The hotel (rather than a ryokan) is situated within walking distance from the train station and all sights. Staff is extremly friendly and caring to make on feel at home. Very nice public bath on the top floor, incl. open air bath. Extensive japanese breakfast buffet. Only downturn was that the bathroom could have been cleaned a bit more thoroughly.

We paid $185 for one night including breakfast and dinner. Dinner was great and plentyful. There are 4 onsen pools and each will melt u in total relaxation. Topping it off with exceptional Japanese service that make you felt at home like being the king in ones cattle. Hotel has free pick up at the yamagata station at 1600 hrs and drop off at 0930 and 1530 hrs. Howe...

Very good location as it is juz beside a ski centre with a ski school. The hotel staffs are very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the 2 onsens so much. Great experience for me to try their open air onsen on a winter snowing day haha. One of the service provided that shocked me is they will drive you anytime to anywhere in Zao Area. I appreciate that so much. This Zao T...

other reviews seem to suggest that there is only 1 small onsen, which is not true. there are 2 small onsen of natural sulphur base and 1 big one of normal colourless spring water. i have thoroughly enjoyed the onsen. the hotel is also near the famous natural big onsen, within 15min walk. u can buy the ticket at the hotel at 400yen and save 100yen. the service is good...

as soon as you exit the station at Tendo you can smell the fresh mountain air. This hotel was fantastic and I would definitely stay again, in fact I would go out of my way to go back to Japan to stay here longer and see more of the sights. The hotel staff are wonderful and they go out of their way to impress and help. There is a very good shuttle service to Tendo st...

I booked Tsuruya Ryokan for my parents-in-law(60's couple) who from the overseas to visit my home town. To be honest I was worried about if they could feel comfortable for few nights, however they absolutely loved there and had a wonderful experience. Especially they were really happy to sleep on the western style low bed instead Futon bed on the floor, which made the ...

Hotel is right in front of Yamagata JR Station. The Japanese buffet breakfast is great. Staff is welcoming and friendly, and get things done very quickly. Their indoor restaurant serves decent meals at reasonable prices. Shopping is within minutes walk, and a 24 hours supermarket is just at the backyard of the hotel. Yamagata City is a good base to explore the prefec...

The staff invites me to join their dinner, and we have lots of talking about everything. It is great if you like to know more about the local culture and people. Living in this guest house makes me feel I'm a member of the family. Although the location is a little bit far away from the station, I will definitely choose this guesthouse again next time I visit Yamagata.

We opted to come here for the Onsen and the public Onsen was beautiful; however there are no pictures allowed. I took a solo picture before I saw the sign and the hotel was aware, I wonder if there were cameras? The private Onsens did not match the pictures the hotel proposed. It was great to experience the natural Onsen, nonetheless! Beautiful! Only wish was you can...

First time travelling to heavy snow place, driving completely hopeless and the car was not well equipped. However, the staff was very helpful to solve the problem. Josh was extremely kind to us and he works there in Winter (perfect English so that we could communicate well). The hotsprings were fantastic !

Great location right off the slopes and such nice staff. Only stayed here for 2 nights but it was great. In winter it’s only accessible by cable car which definitely adds to the atmosphere. The only drawback is that the cable car closes at 5 so you have to be into the hotel by this time or you’ll be stranded. If you’re looking to spend your nights in the town then this...

We stay here over Japanese long vocation week, so the price was a bit high (they only provide room with breakfast + dinner plan). The building was nice and not too far commute from ski lift. The breakfast and dinner were just so so (I would prefer payer lower price and dine somewhere else since I had a car, but I think it's pretty convenient if you come here by public ...

The ryokan locates near the upper end of the onsen street if you treat the bus stop of zao onsen station as the starting point. I think we have walked for like 6 to 8 min to get there. The room for us is big, with separate toilet and washing basin onside the room, which we don't expecte before There is some mould smells but it is still fine. Inside the ryokan, the...

This is a very nice ryokan style resort. Clean, tasteful and beautifully situated in Zao Onsen - close to the Zao Ropeway. They have both an outdoor and indoor onsen - both small, but lovely and clean. The rooms are nice, traditonal japanese rooms with tatami mat and futons - the room we got had a great view of the mountains. The owners and staff were all lovely and we...
