Thought it was time to see an English review for Mt Haguro. We stayed here for a couple of nights in November. We stayed in the traditional Japanese rooms. Be prepared that English is hardly spoken here in Tsuruoka however everyone we spoke to were extremely helpful whether they understood or not! Bus from train station takes 50 minutes and is not very regular (1 an hour I think) There is an information centre at train station and although English is kind of understood but not spoken again they are very helpful. Bus ride is costly 1050 Yen but unless you are driving or have plenty of money for a taxi this is the only way. Hotel staff again Excellent. Not many understand English but they do help you. Hotel is very expensive for what you are getting however the location is what this all comes down to. Google Mount Haguro and you will understand. Situated up the mountain in the woods with plenty of walks availiable for you on the door step. Breakfast and Evening meals are included in your stay and are part of the experience. Don't expect a western buffet though. Personally the breakfast buffet was very good but evening meals for someone who doesn't eat fish is sparse. However there is some fantastic food places up the mountain at excellent prices. Staff excellent, Hotel rooms good, Location AMAZING. If you don't like stunning sceneary and lovely walks this is not the place for you. Nightlife non existant, but this is not what its about. Be aware though that buses and trains here are not often. First bus from hotel was 9 am. Although we didn't experience snow this is also a ski resort in winter.
