This is a really nice hotel. It is just located across the road from a couple of ski lifts, so while not ski in/ski out, it takes just a 30 metre walk across the road from the front door before you can click your skis on. We had a western/Japanese combined room which was plenty big enough. Beds were comfortable and weren't too hard as is sometimes the case with Japanese beds. The bathrooms are the usual inserted TOTO brand moulded shower/basin set up, reasonable size but not too big. One good thing room had a separate Toilet. Room was very clean. Breakfast was buffet style and was fairly good, but for some reason, and this is often the case with Japanese breakfast buffets, the sausages and scrambled eggs are served warm or tepid. Not sure why. The staff were very nice and helpful with a couple of the front desk staff speaking okay English. There are lockers on the ground floor for skis and boards. There is a inside smoking area for the smokers. The on site onsen is not large but is nice. The hotel is on one end of the town which means a 800 metres -1km walk to the main street, but there are a few cafes/restaurants on the street that leads through town. WiFi is included and works ok. The hotel has a pool but it was empty, so I think that may be just a summer thing. Overall a good hotel.

“A 3 star accomodation with Good location to ski slopes.”

Booked this place for 89000yen per night (for 2A & 2C), and shared the property with a bus filled of students. The condition of the property is thoroughly disappointing. Room was dated (wallpaper peeling off, stains on the walls of toilets), and the level that we stayed on had a smell of old damp … lisää

Booked this place for 89000yen per night (for 2A & 2C), and shared the property with a bus filled of students. The condition of the property is thoroughly disappointing. Room was dated (wallpaper peeling off, stains on the walls of toilets), and the level that we stayed on had a smell of old damp carpet. Food was average. The only saving grace was their very friendly and helpful staff.

“Modern style hotel”

The hotel is in the area of Zao ski resort just opposite the ropeway station. Convenient for skiing. The food were average. The staff were very friendly. Quite far from Yamagata city. There are open air bath in the room.
