Hotel Analysis
Based on 3 sites · 908 reviews
A 4-star onsen hotel in Yamagata. Guests frequently mention 'excellent onsen and friendly staff' in reviews.
Reviews across sites repeatedly praise 'spacious, clean rooms with comfortable bedding.' The onsen, including rooftop baths and private room onsens, is a hit, especially the 8th-floor one with snowy views. Dinner featuring sukiyaki and local dishes gets consistent acclaim. Staff attentiveness with luggage service and private dining impresses.
However, it's 3km from the city center, so few nearby eateries and a car is needed. Some note poor soundproofing, towel quality, and shuttle wait times.
Ideal for couples or groups seeking onsen relaxation and meals.
