"Nice new hotel with spacious room and nice bathroom. It is a block from the train station and bus terminal so it is easy to explore the regions such as Zao Onsen and Yamadera. The hotel restaurant is one of the best serving famous local beef and hotel guests have a decent discount. Highly recommended for visiting Yamagata."

Mercure Miyagi Zao Resort & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Did not including breakfast "
Zao Onsen Zao Shiki No Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Every detail was considered for the ultimate relaxing stay. The meals were great, the lobby always had refreshments and the massaging chair in the room was perfect.
The main draw to staying here was the hot springs. I was relieved that my tattoo was not an issue in the baths. I would love to come back and stay longer next time!"
Richmond Hotel Yamagata Ekimae
10/10 Excellent
"Friendly staff, clean and spacious room and tasty breakfast "
Hotel Metropolitan Yamagata
10/10 Excellent
"Room was a good size and beds comfy. Liked how we could adjust the air con to either heating or cooling and not just set on one or the other. We stayed in South Tower and quiet. Walked out of the train and straight to the hotel so good."

Hoshino Resorts KAI Akiu
10/10 Excellent
"Although it was a bit far from Sendai Station, it became a truly wonderful memory.
The meal, the beautiful tableware, and the warm hospitality reminded me of the charm of Japanese culture.
The bath was lovely, and my daughter said she would love to visit other Hoshino Resorts too.✨"
TAOYA Akiu
8/10 Good
"The Tanya was really a great stay. The Onsen water is wonderful; the staff is great, as well as the food. It is as clean as it can be considering its age and number of visitors. I will go back again."
Venezian Hotels Shiroishi Zao
10/10 Excellent
"Very cozy hotel in the small quiet town of Shiroshi. We stayed here only one night for easy access to the Zao Fox Sanctuary the following day, it was well worth all the effort to go and see.
Easy access to Shinkansen bullet train, and a Family Mart right across the street."
