Zao Onsen Zao Shiki No Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing. The room was spacious and my wife and I were able to rest and recover after a long multi week trip through Japan and Korea. The only downside was that the laundry facilities were temporarily out of service during our stay. Other than that I highly recommend for a peaceful night to recover the body."

Takamiya Hotel Hammond

10/10 Excellent

"We booked a western style room with shared bathroom ( we didn’t noticed it at time of booking). Once we checked in we realized it was shared bathroom . We tried to find it on the floor and couldn’t find it so we asked the staff. The shared showers are the showers from the onset. At first we were really not happy about it but once we tried it, we really enjoyed it and looked f"

Hotel Metropolitan Yamagata

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. The room was exceptional with lots of space. The hotel itself is within the railway station complex with easy transport connections. Despite it's proximity to the station we heard no noise whatsoever. We would certainly recommend this hotel ."

Kaminoyama Azumaya

8/10 Good

"The room was just like any business hotel room. It was clean but definitely dated in some places. Breakfast buffet was great. Free refreshments. Onsen was great. I added breakfast by paying extra when i made this reservation, but at the check in, I was told that it's not included. In the end all was fine."

Hayamakan

10/10 Excellent

"Staying here was a great experience. Relaxing in our private onsen while looking out at the mountain and city was stunning. Our other favorite part was the dinner - our server was so amazing with us and compliments to the chef for preparing the delicious food. As foreigners, it was our first time trying some of these foods, and we enjoyed most of it. Thank you!"
