Hotel Analysis
Based on 3 sites · 902 reviews
A 3-star onsen hotel in Zao Onsen, Yamagata, right by the ski resort and cable car. Skiers and onsen lovers frequent it. Reviews most often mention the indoor and outdoor onsen facilities.
Across booking sites, guests repeatedly praise 'the excellent onsen, especially soaking in the outdoor bath while viewing snowscapes.' Friendly shuttle service, value-for-money meals like buffet dinners or kaiseki, and the convenient flow of skiing then onsen are commonly noted.
Some point out the dated rooms and facilities due to age, with complaints about dust, small bathrooms, or meals. But reviews saying it's well-maintained outnumber them.
Best for ski families, couples, and onsen enthusiasts.
