Situated in Kaminoyama in the Yamagata region, Snowfall Meteor 飛雪流星 has a garden. It is located 2.2 km from Zao Onsen Ski Resort and provides luggage storage space. The guest house features family rooms. A lovely and heartwarming place to stay for a winter getaway. The couple that owns this business made us feel like family. Mao and Qu are so kind and welcoming. They treated us like family. They picked us up from the bus station, drove us to a wonderful dinner location (which they recommended), drove us to the ski resort, and helped with all our luggage. I was so happy to meet them and talk with them. The room is just as warm as the owners. The floors are heated and the beds are very comfortable. I wish I could’ve stayed longer.

For guests with children, the guest house provides an indoor play area. A ski pass sales point, ski storage space and a ski shuttle are all featured at Yamagata Zao Pension Aplon Stage, and guests can go skiing in the surroundings. Good location to visit Lake Okama and to experience lovely outdoor Onsen in the nearby village. However the top reason to stay here is the wonderfully friendly owners and the beautiful food served for both dinner and breakfast. Simply lovely, helpful people. A fantastic experience not to be missed

Situated in Murayama, Yamagata region, Yamagata Guesthouse山形ゲストハウス is set 500 metres from Murayama Station. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

The area is popular for hiking, and bike hire is available at Yamagata Guesthouse山形ゲストハウス. I stayed one night at the Yamagata Guest House. The staff was very friendly and kind. Facilities are amazing! They have a huge fully-equipped kitchen with gas stoves, free tea, coffee and condiments. The hostel is located in a refurbished school which it looks like to be also a community center, there are other business in the same building; pizza restaurant, cafe, gym etc… never seen any place like it! The hostel walking distance from the station, Lawson, drug store etc… If you want to travel to Ginzan Onsen this is the perfect location and an affordable price.

All units are fitted with a microwave, fridge, a kettle, a shower, a hair dryer and a desk. Featuring a shared bathroom with a bath and slippers, units at the guest house also boast free WiFi. The units are equipped with heating facilities. The man who lives in this house was perhaps the kindest person I have ever met on my travels. The place is very simple, and you get what you pay for. I thought it was pretty comfortable and the room was quite big. For the price, I think it is really good but it is quite an old house and tough to get to. But I was very grateful to the host, he drove me all the way to the station for no charge as I had lost my wallet and he let me sleep in until whenever I wanted. He was a very lovely man and I hope he gets a lot of business!
