Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 288 reviews
A traditional ryokan-style 2-star accommodation in Yamagata's Zao Onsen. Guests frequently mention the convenience of its location near ski slopes and bus terminals.
Reviews across sites repeatedly praise the friendly staff who speak English well. Soaking in the small onsen after skiing is a highlight. Nearby restaurants and convenience stores are walkable.
However, the old building means cold corridors and shared bathrooms draw complaints. Some note poor soundproofing and heater smells or dryness. Better for solo or couple ski trips than families.
