2024/7/26 17:15~ 1 nightWhen I arrived, I was happy to be served cold tea 🍵 and shiruko ♡They will give you an extension when dinner and breakfast are ready.I was glad that my request to bring some rice with me when I had steak dinner came true!Tsure really liked the second strongest acidic bath in Japan (located in a detached area, no washing area).The bathroom in the building was also made by POLA and I liked it.For breakfast, I wanted to have a second helping of rice, but I gave up because there were so many side dishes💦The room is small. They were cooling the cherry jelly ♪

First time at Zao Onsen ♨️It was a good decision to stay at this inn.It felt like home, and the proprietress and employees were kind and attentive to the children, including during check-in and meals.The highly acidic hot spring had good quality and atmosphere, and although it was located in a detached area, it was a reasonable distance so that I could cool off and return to my room after bathing.The food was plentiful and delicious.I felt the warmth of the hotel with handwritten messages written in every detail and a thank you postcard that arrived a few days after my stay.I would like to stay here again when I go to Zao Onsen.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to Yamagata Zao 😅 The banquet inn is still there 😁 I saw an antelope next to the bath 👌 When I returned the next day, the landlady gave me a bunch of bracken ☺️

It was a comfortable inn.I also enjoyed the food and the hot springs. The cloudy ♨ was outside the inn due to the strong acid, but it was at a comfortable distance. This is a ryokan that I would like to visit again.

Although the hotel is not big, the service attitude is very friendly. Because we are foreigners, the waiter explained slowly and was afraid that I would not understand. He confirmed again and again and felt respected. The dinner was also delicious. The hot spring It’s also great. After soaking, my skin feels very delicate. It’s a place I can come back to again.

This is a very nice and friendly hostel.During my stay, I caused some inconvenience to the staff at the inn due to my misunderstanding, but the proprietress was kind enough to accommodate me, which I was grateful for.The outdoor bath is very acidic, so it was a bit of a walk, but it was nice to be able to enjoy the hot spring in the snow.I arrived late and couldn't make it in time for the free service, but when I left the hotel the next day, I was offered something to eat since I couldn't eat it yesterday.Also, when I told them I was going to climb the Zao Ropeway, I was wearing regular sneakers, so they lent me their rain boots, which was helpful. I think I would have been in a lot of trouble if I had gone in sneakers.On the way back, everyone was really kind and even dropped me off at a nearby bus stop.I would like to stay again.

It is a very humane hotel. When I checked in the night before, I casually asked about the dried persimmons in Yamagata. It is already very difficult to find it in February after the beginning of spring. When we checked out this morning, the lady gave us a box of dried persimmons.おもてなし

Checking in during the ski season, the location is a bit far from the lift station, and it is a bit difficult to hold the skis. Although the hotel has a drying room, there are no benches for wearing ski boots. There are only 4 folding benches. The folding benches are too high and the ground is a bit uneven. It’s hard to exert force when wearing ski boots. I hope it can be improved.

I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days. The cleanliness, service, food, hot springs, etc. were all perfect and I had a comfortable stay.Also, when I wasn't feeling well and couldn't eat, they took the trouble to bring my meals to my room, and the employees were easy to talk to and had a cheerful atmosphere, which made me want to come back again.thank you very much.

I used it on a group trip.It's a small, family-run inn, and upon arrival, we were served oshiruko and tea.The lobby and interior decorations were well thought out and made me feel relaxed.The meal was very delicious, with vegetable dishes prepared in beautiful bowls and A5 rank beef.The baths include an artificial hot spring inside the building and a cloudy white hot spring outside.The facility was open 24 hours, which was convenient.The outdoor bath is typical of Zao Onsen, and has a rustic feel.It was a comfortable accommodation where the staff was attentive.

The atmosphere is like a homey Japanese inn. Many of the employees are elderly, but they are all very kind. There is an outdoor bath with a sulfur spring footbath and an indoor bath with boiling spring water. There are not many guest rooms inside the hotel, so I was able to soak in the hot water slowly. The food was well-seasoned and healthy, and the sweet potato soup was delicious.We had a corner room on the 3rd floor, but the Wi-Fi environment was not very good.However, the surrounding area was quiet and there were no cars, and there were no inbound tourists, so I was able to spend a comfortable time.

Cuisine: I get the impression that there aren't many dishes unique to Yamagata, such as sukiyaki and ceramic platter grills. The sukiyaki meat was fatty and left me with heartburn.Room: The room itself is fine, but the air cooler (not an air conditioner, but the type that is mounted in the window) is quite noisy, making it hard to sleep.I went again in mid-August, and there were so many bugs in the room... Why is the window closed?There was something like a mosquito repellent that you can point to the outlet, but there were various insects in the room.After I turned off the lights, I felt something drop on my head, and when I looked, I saw a large insect.The baths were both natural hot springs outside and artificial hot springs indoors, and were pretty good, but I don't think I'll return again due to the above points.

Older than the photo...The hot spring is a little diluted so it won't make you feel hot.I try my best to pay for the meals.Staff is also friendlyHowever, my rating is low because I was treated a bit unpleasantly.
