Hot Springs Hotels in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan

When you get off the bus heading to Tsuruoka from the airport at Science Park, Suiden Terrace is right in front of you. The room is simply designed but has everything you need and is very comfortable. There is also a bar and a library space, which is nice. We didn't have time to relax this time, but if you have the time, I recommend spending some time there. The open-air baths are switched between men and women in the morning and evening, so you can enjoy them both in the morning and at night. There was a wide selection of Yamagata specialties for breakfast, which was great to enjoy in the morning.

A Japanese-style hotel with a great location. The No. 4 cable car station is less than 100 meters away, which is very convenient for skiing. The hotel is quite old. Although the facilities are a bit old, there is no separate shower in the room (you can only take a shower in the hot spring public bath), only a washbasin and a toilet, but the overall style is very Japanese, and the food and service are very good. In particular, the hotel's hot spring is very good. After soaking, the skin is smooth. The open-air hot spring downstairs can also be bathed while watching the snow, which is really a wonderful enjoyment. The hotel can provide short-distance pick-up and drop-off services, such as from the Zao bus station to the hotel or from the hotel to the ski lift station, etc., just call the hotel front desk. The hotel service staff mainly speaks Japanese, but can also communicate in simple English.

Transportation: We arrived by chartered car, not sure if it would be easy to get there by ourselves, but they have their own parking lot. There is a small uphill slope at the entrance of the hotel in the parking lot, which is a little slippery when it snows, so be careful. Hotel: Tatami in all rooms! You have to take off your shoes as soon as you enter the hotel ~ Japanese-style hotels are very clean 🥹No problem! There are not many rooms but there is no elevator, so you have to carry your luggage up (the hotel staff will help you carry it, but you have to carry it yourself when you check out 🤣). The route is a bit complicated, like a maze 🤣, but it's quite interesting! There is also a public space on the 2nd floor where you can eat and drink! Service: The staff at the counter don’t speak English very well, so communication is a bit difficult. It can even be said that they are very confused... Maybe you should prepare a translation machine! It is also best to confirm the scheduled items (such as shuttle buses) again and again! Facilities: There is no bathroom in the room, but there is a 24-hour large bath! The bathhouse is small but well-equipped

The hotel accepts non-Japanese people, and its attitude needs to be improved. Because the large bathhouse is under maintenance, we are provided with a hot spring bath for us to use. It is a 15-minute walk from the station to the hotel. Unfortunately, dinner is not provided. The Yamagata beef that I wanted most is not provided. There is a large bathhouse nearby that we can use ( There is information), there is a cute old man (Oji-san) who will chat with you, Kaminoyama Castle is very beautiful nearby and you can see cherry blossoms🌸I am so lucky in January

Best ryokan to stay during my trip, direct email hotel to confirm shuttle service from Kaminoyaonsen JR station. Stunning mountain view from our room, although the room with onsen bath, we still love the public bath, environment is very clean. Foods are on par and service and environment from the ryokan is really good

I have stayed in the hotel for 5 consecutive times, and it is also the hotel I have stayed in the same hotel in Japan for the most time. Compared with the super popular Yinshan Hot Spring on the edge of it, I love the elbow folding hot spring. The very simple hot spring street also has a history of hundreds of years. I solemnly recommend this hotel. The boss is super nice. The waiter is super intimate, each dish is selected with the freshest ingredients in the local area, absolutely reaching the Michelin level, every time I go there has a different feeling, can make people feel quiet and feel different styles of Japan, will definitely go again!

The hotel has scale, although it has some history, but the interior as well as the rooms are well decorated! This time this room is the most expensive, but the room has a private garden and private bath, the family soaking in the hot spring is very happy. The room has the latest TV to watch YouTube and Netflix.The space in the room is huge, I believe it can sleep six people, haha. The hotel's breakfast is typical Japanese and Western, more stock. The hotel has two large baths, men and women can enjoy the two large baths in separate periods, which feels good. The hotel has lots of free parking...

It was our first time to stay in a hot spring hotel and it gave us a very good experience. We went to 5 hot springs. The visual scenery of each hot spring was super good. The room was spacious and clean. The only disappointment was that the food needed to be improved.

ถือเป็นที่พักที่นอนสบายมาก เหมือนอยู่บ้าน โรงแรมใหญ่ ทำเลสำหรับคนมีรถถือว่าดี ตั้งอยู่ที่เนินสูงพอสมควร แต่ติดกับลานสกี หมายเลข 3 เลย จากโรงแรมสามารถเดินออกด้านข้างและสไลด์ลงไปที่ลานสกีได้เลย ข้อดีคือสะดวกตรงนี่ ข้อเสียคือ ผมไม่มีรถเวลากลางคืนต้องขึ้นลงเนินไกลพอสมควรจากถนนเส้นหลัก แต่ก็เดินได้ชิวๆเพราะอากาศหนาวดี ข้อดี ข้อเด่น รร มีบ่อน้ำร้อนส่วนตัวและสาธารณะ บ่อสาธารณะเข้าฟรี ดีมาก แช่ทุกวันเลย จองอาหารเช้า และเย็น อร่อยและคุ้มค่ามากๆ โรงแรม มีบริการรถรับส่งฟรีถึง 17:30 น. หากใครเดินทาง ก็แจ้งให้ โรงแรมไปรับส่งได้ ก็ถือว่าดีเลย

Although it is a traditional Japanese-style inn, there are art decorations and piano music playing for a long time, making it feel leisurely and comfortable. The food quality is better than expected, with western elements added, I am very satisfied. The hotel has a shuttle bus service, but no relevant information was provided during the booking process. We walked to the hotel by ourselves, which took more than ten minutes. It was a bit embarrassing in the snow in winter.
