Beautiful countryside staying in a luxurious hotel

The location was absolutely breathtaking, we visited in autumn but I'm already planning my next visit for winter! The staff were so lovely and accommodating, not everyone spoke perfect english but they make a genuine effort to make us feel welcome none the less. I loved the onsen, we used the private and public facilities and found them so relaxing. We ate in the restaurant every morning and once for dinner, the food was so well done and we loved getting a taste of the local cuisine. Seriously 10/10 its not the cheapest stay but it is worth the price.

being on the side of a ski slope the walk up the hill to the hotel is understandable a challenge so be prepared if you're not traveling by car!

風情ある大浴場

立地とお風呂が素晴らしい〜紅葉や雪の頃またきたいと思う風情ある大浴場でした

朝食が質素お値段の割に品数が少なく美味しさも普通でした。もう少し高級感を出して満足度をあげたら、リピーターが増えると思います

Was a stay all around to end our holiday.

We stayed in a deluxe twin room which was large and very comfortable. Great food experience for dinner and breakfast. The natural onsen was amazing, and was one of the main reasons we went here. Large baths inside and out, with a lovely outlook.

Classic, but outdated

Onsen area is nice. Breakfast is also good with lots of choices. Bus drivers were so friendly, especially the younger one who was super nice.

The beds are Japanese style, so not exactly super comfy. Hotel feels 70's or 80's luxury, and all is quite outdated.

Superb

The onsen is gorgeous and is very well maintained. The food at dinner was excellent and the dining room staff very pleasant. Shuttle to the train station is very helpful.

Communicate directly with the hotel for the shuttle and not through Booking - there was a mixup with the schedule.

Beautiful stay, as always.

breakfast buffet is excellent. the hot springs are beautiful and very peaceful. the view from the room’s window was incredible.

the manager seems not to know what he’s doing and is not helpful towards guests.

A beautiful hotel in the town of Zao Onsen. Facilities were amazing, onsen were excellent and meals were very high quality including kaiseki style dinners and buffet style breakfast. The free shuttle bus for guests to and from Yamagata Station is extremely convenient - contact the hotel via email 3 days before check-in to arrange this! For Western travellers this is a very Japanese hotel with some language barriers present. A few staff speak English but the majority do not. It's not insurmountable but it led to a few minor moments of confusion. For example we were assigned to dinner at different restaurants on nights 1 & 2 of our stay. This wasn't explained beforehand and so the hostess of the restaurant from night 1 walked us down the corridors to the other restaurant on night 2. As a say - not a significant issue but just small things.

The hotel is very beautiful and new. Very helpful staff and provided extra services to customers.

The reception staff made exceptional assistance to send us to nearby hotel which we stay for another night in Zao onsen. Understand that the hotel normally does not provide any free transportation other than to Yamagata Station. Secondly, the pick up waited for as we were late because we waited at the wrong exit. We were about 10 mins late. Very helpful staff and driver.

More clearer instructions for pick up location for free shuttle bus from Yamagata Station.

right next to the ski slopes. fun to walk around during the cool summer nights. The public bathing area was beautiful.

not much character…typical large volume, low budget construction

Loved the outdoor Onsen. Seemed like great different temperatures in the different baths.

Mi I also food options available during Covid period, but understandable. Limited information on what to do with kids in the area.

Great location, beautiful area and lovely hotel!

The hotel is lovely and the Onsen was fabulous! Overall the staff were super helpful and breakfast was great. The location is also great. While we didn’t have snow we could imagine that it is a perfect location to visit during the ski season.

We weren’t allowed to unload our car in front of the entrance and this seemed strange as we had to walk a long way from car park with our bags (we were 2 adults and 3 children so had a few bags). We were also disappointed that we weren’t able to book dinner for the adults without the children - it was all or nothing and it was very expensive for the children and not worth doing with them (no children pricing available). We were keen to dine without children but were told this wasn’t allowed. We haven’t experienced this before at any 5 star hotel, and it did put a dampener on our visit.

Just a little improvement .... you guys will be 5 stars

Almost everything about this hotel ... rooms ... onsen location ... cleanliness ... tidy ... simply ... elegant ... breakfast!!! ... room services ...

The staffs can not speak english well enough for basic conversations and on 18:xx pm, it's just water which i asked for taking medicines but he said... "sorry, we closed" ... it's just in front of you and it had enough for one little glass!!!.
