There are hot spring facilities outside, but the indoor bath inside the pension is small and hot, but it's the best.There is no need to go to a hot spring outside.

We have beautifully renovated Western-style rooms and traditional Japanese-style ski inn rooms. The children had a very comfortable stay in the Western-style room and the adults in the Japanese-style room. Although the building is old, the hot spring bath and water area have been renovated and are clean, and the Genghis Khan meal was excellent. You can enjoy a homely atmosphere, and the cost performance is good, so we highly recommend it.

Anyway, the bath was the best. It was a deep bath in Zao. The wife's personality is also great, and if I had a day trip, I would like to spend about 3 hours with my dog.

The ropeway entrance is in front and LAWSON is next door, so I think it's a good place to stay without meals.Extremely convenient for wherever you go sightseeing.The meat of Genghis Khan for dinner had less odor than Yoshitsune grilled meat in Yonezawa, and was soft and easy to eat! ! Even the side dishes and side dishes were extremely delicious! !Breakfast also consisted of mushrooms, side dishes, side dishes, and tsuyahime made with plenty of wild vegetables.I brought two dogs with me and they were able to spend a peaceful time in the room.I especially like the bath, and if there is space, I will take a leisurely bath by myself many times,I enjoyed soaking in the hot spring water three times, and it was the second most acidic sulfur hot spring in Japan. Even after three hours, my hands and feet were still warm and amazing.

The Zao Onsen Ski Resort in Yamagata is very good, but the monster on the top of the mountain is not visible every day. You can only see it on a sunny day with high visibility, so I spent 3800 Japanese Yan and didn't see it, which is a bit regretful.

Take your shoes to the tray in front of the room. It was a Japanese-style room with no meals, so I brought my own futon, towel, and pajamas, and I didn't have a room key. There is hot water and a microwave on the first floor. It's next to a convenience store, so I took full advantage of it. You can enter one of the baths when it is vacant, and you can lock it from the inside. The water is hot (50℃), so first check the water level, open the white handle of the faucet, add water, and enjoy a real hot spring! It hurts when salt gets into your eyes. But it warms up well and is great! The bathtub is so small that it's hard to see if only two people can fit in it! The hair dryer is hung in a bag near where the pot is. Staff bathing time is from 10pm to 11pm.
