Kokumin Sukusha Datsuyamasou in Yamagata's Zao Onsen area is a traditional, budget minshuku-style lodging. Guests frequently praise its proximity to ski lifts and ropeways.
Reviews across sites highlight '5-min walk to central ropeway' and 'great ski access.' The onsen is praised for its source water quality and heat. Meals get nods for free rice refills and local Yamagata flavors. Value for money stands out.
