Hotel Analysis
Based on 3 sites · 733 reviews
A traditional ryokan in Zao Onsen, Yamagata. Guests frequently mention the appeal of private outdoor onsens and public baths.
Reviews across sites repeatedly praise 'private onsens that are private and amazing in nature.' Private baths available without reservation after 9 PM are especially popular. Kaiseki dinners and buffet breakfasts are tasty and abundant. Staff's friendly shuttle service and attentive care are often complimented.
However, some note the facilities feel dated. No showers in rooms, so public baths are mandatory, and issues like hot water problems or noise in some rooms are pointed out. No elevator, so luggage must be carried manually.
Suits couples or families seeking onsens and nature.
