Hotels With Bar in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan

My biggest mistake of this trip to Yamagata is to book this hotel. It's a good hotel but it's in the middle of nowhere. You will want to stay around the city of Yamagata province which is also called Yamagata city just so you can get to famous tourist spots. However this is 4 hours away from all of these. I had to book another hotel so I can stay 1 day in the city when I wanted to visit these places and the traveling time just completely made me exhausted. It took like 1 day to go to a place and 1 day to go back. It was so terrible, I was crying. This place is closed to Shonai airport not Yamagata airport so I also had to book another flight from Shonai. I wasted so much money for transportation. It was such a terrible experience. However the hotel is incredibly beautiful with smart design in everything. I loved the onsen very much. If it was just a vacation/restcation for relaxing purpose or isolate yourself from the human word, it's the best choice for you. Since its in the middle of the endless rice field, there is nothing to eat except for paying very high price to eat at the hotel's restaurant. And the food was just okay. The beauty of this hotel was like a trap. Its like I was blind from its beauty and couldn't see all other disavantages.

Skiing access is super convenient. It's just a minute's walk to the only Lawson. There's a dedicated ski storage area right at the entrance. A shuttle service to and from the station is also available. The food is delicious, and the dinner menu changes daily.

Great location directly connected to Yamagata station. My room was at the South wing which seemed new. The room is on the small side for 2 adults but has everything we needed, was pleasantly surprised with the handy steam iron! There are 2 x coin laundry at South Tower level 2; vending machines; microwave oven. Ice machine on several floors. The front desk staff were helpful, they allowed us check-in before 3pm and helped make a reservation at Yamagyu restaurant, really appreciated their help. The location is really convenient with the taxi stand and bus terminal right in front. Lots of food options around it.

The hotel is in a good location. You can go to any attraction by walk. There is a dedicated parking lot near the hotel. The waiter was very attentive in explaining to us how to drive to and use the parking lot. The hotel lobby is beautifully designed. The breakfast is of good quality, rich and delicious.

It’s quite a big hotel, 3 buildings are connected and there are many rooms. The rooms are a bit outdated but still maintained well. Service was good and flexible. Transportation to the village is quite necessary when the roads are covered by snow, especially with luggage. They have free shuttle bus which is great. Best parts: 1. Dinner semi-buffet has unlimited alcoholic beverages including local sake, draft beer and wines. 2. Ski & board rental shop is right outside of the hotel. Although hotel only accept cash for the lift ticket, you can rent the gear (rental shop accepts credit card) and ski down the hill (20sec) to the cable ticket counter to buy ticket, pay by credit card. The location has lifts 5,6 and cable 4

I made a reservation online, but wanted to change the number of nights I was staying, so I tried to change it online, but it didn't work out and the accommodation fee was automatically deducted from my account. I consulted the hotel, and they quickly handled the process, which was very helpful. Thank you very much. The service was also polite, and I had a comfortable stay. The breakfast had a wide selection and was delicious. If I had to say something, it would have been great if I could have seen the view from the hot spring on the 10th floor.

Unlike the usual traditional hot spring hotels, if you prefer traditional large, parking someone out to greet guests, get luggage, here will not be, and the surrounding environment is very general. However, the mainstay is drinking from the moment of check in at 3:00pm until around 10:00pm. Free flow beers cocktails fruit wine throughout, free flow sake for dinner. Wine lovers must be happy, but the room is cluttered, maybe I stay in the cheapest double double room. Because when booking there are no beautiful rooms to choose from.

It's conveniently close to the station and there's a convenience store diagonally across the street. Since it was a spot air conditioner, the noise from the nearby street vision screens was a bit loud even early in the morning, but toothbrushes, hairbrushes, and hair dryers were provided in the room, so it was totally tolerable considering the price and location.

After reading the introduction of this hot spring hotel, Zaimu Sakaeya ​​Hotel was once a hotel in a logging camp and a timber wholesaler with a history of more than 100 years. The entire hot spring hotel uses a large amount of logs for decoration and construction, which is very unique. The single room I stayed in was very new and very clean. Breakfast is a set meal, and miso soup, tea, drinks, etc. are also provided. At this price, it's a great value. Since there is no shuttle bus, it takes about 15 minutes to walk from Kaminoyama Onsen Station to Zaiki Sakaeya.

Review Petit Resort Hotel Der Barte When we think of Japanese hotels, we think of Ryokan, but another type that may not be thought of as often is 'European-style guesthouses'. I happened to be visiting Zao Onsen, so I looked for a place to stay in this area. I think it was during the Chinese New Year, so it turned out that everything was full, so I ended up staying here. Petit Resort Hotel Der Barte is a European-style guesthouse, not a guest house. It's more like a Ryokan, but in a more European style. The advantage is that it's right next to the Zao Skii Resort ski slopes. The atmosphere is nice, and the staff is nice. We can play ski right away (but if you want to take the cable car up, you have to pay the normal price). It's perfect for those who want to play ski. The disadvantage is that it's on the opposite side of the Zao Ropeway, and there are no Lawson, Family Mart, or 711 stores. So when you enter, it's like you're cut off from the outside. There's nowhere else to go, apart from Zao Skii Resort. Overall, the accommodation is good, suitable for relaxation, but not very suitable for socializing. The food in the hotel is mostly alcohol and beer, but there aren't many snacks.
