Located in Yamagata, 17 km from Zao Onsen Ski Resort, Daiwa Roynet Hotel Yamagata Ekimae provides accommodation with a fitness centre, private parking and massage services. This 4-star hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage space. The room was nice, extremely clean and with a great view of the mountains. I like that there was a coin/operated laundromat in the hotel. The location 200 m from Yamagata station is excellent.

Boasting natural hot spring baths, Hohoemino Kuyufu Tsuruya is located a 15-minute walk from JR Tendo Station, 50 km from Sendai. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, and free private parking is available on site. Great rooms. We had both Japanese dinner and breakfast... what a treat!! The staff was wonderful as well. From the women's onsen you can see a cherry tree, and it happened to be in bloom! It was a truly extraordinary experience and worth the money.

Guests at Hayamakan can enjoy traditional multi-course meals and relax in the indoor/outdoor hot-spring baths. All rooms come with a private hot-spring bath and free Wi-Fi is available at the lobby area. A free shuttle is available from JR Kaminoyama Onsen Train Station, which is a 5-minute drive away and must be reserved at time of booking. The property was very luxurious, clean and just very comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and tried to accommodate with what ever I needed. Even with the language barrier they did everything exceptionally without any issues. The food was amazing also. The dinners especially were one of the major highlights for me. I tried so many new dishes and they all tasted amazing. Being locally sourced also made if that more delicious. The room was also amazing as I had my own private onsen.

We admired the thought that went into presenting food in dishes that are compatible with the “mood” of the food. Only 5 minutes walk to the lift. Staff were professional, rooms were comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed our stay.

Winter closure of the open-air baths "Shirakaba-no-yu" (Late December - 28 February)

Due to the accumulation of snow, the open-air bath will be closed during the winter. Until it reopens, you will only be able to use the indoor baths. Please note that the outdoor baths, indoor baths and footbaths of "Hanareyu Hyakuhappo" are open for use as usual. Suitable for anyone who traveling by car (rental) as the hotel located amongst valley (nearby Mt.Zao) the scenery was stunning and weather was perfect. But the most significant part that we chose this hotel to stayed was the dinner course here! (the breakfast was delicious and various as well). It was a wonderful experience for anyone who has passion for eating great and delicious foods. We were happy for every second we stayed here. Room, services and all staffs were amazing especially the who checking us in, she was willing to help us for what we need in every way 👍🏻. EXCEPT the one who checking us out 👎🏻 he gave us a bad attitude and felt like he wouldn’t tried a single bit and didn’t care to explain things we needed to know (about the additional paying for city tax which everyone needed to pay when checking-out. WE, foreigners, who never knew about this and only one thing he needed to do was EXPLAIN, a nice explanation). However, we will still definitely choose to stay here if we visit Zao again.
