Hotel Analysis
Based on 3 sites · 1,177 reviews
A 300-year-old ryokan in Zao Onsen, Yamagata, right by the ski resort. Guests frequently mention the attentive staff service, onsen baths, and delicious kaiseki meals.
Reviews across booking sites repeatedly note 'staff carrying luggage up the long stone stairs.' The onsen offers indoor and outdoor options, with the rotenburo praised for comfort. Dinner and breakfast kaiseki use seasonal ingredients and receive high praise. Rooms are spacious with great mountain views.
Some reviews complain the onsen water is too hot or shower areas are dirty. Rooms feel dated with maintenance issues. The many stairs make access tricky.
Ideal for couples or friends into skiing or onsen. Suits those seeking historic relaxation.
