Zao Onsen Hotel Oak Hill
Yamagata Prefecture／YamagataAn Onsen resort situated atop a hill. Relax in the rock and Hinoki open-air baths with Zao Onsen's flowing waters.
The unique open-ceiling lobby lounge offers a sense of Zao's changing seasons. Relax and unwind in the soothing Onsen with natural hot spring water flowing into rock and cypress open-air baths. Enjoy your stay surrounded by the forest, taking your time to relax as much as you wish. From the windows, you can admire panoramic views of Zao's mountains and ski slopes, experiencing the beauty of nature throughout the seasons.
It was very helpful to be able to purchase discounted lift tickets for Zao Onsen Ski Resort. The slopes were close by, making the stay very comfortable. Having a coin laundry and dryers on site was also convenient. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options, and considering the price, I felt it was excellent value. All of the staff were kind and helpful.
Yahoo!トラベルユー... 3/9/2026I booked a room last minute as one was available. All the staff I met were friendly, kind, and attentive. The free beer in the cozy lobby was a delightful touch, and the autumn leaves were beautifully vibrant. Breakfast exceeded my expectations and felt just right. For Onsen, we visited four partner hotel locations for hot spring hopping, but my child said this place was their favorite. Dinner options are convenient as the onsen town is within walking distance; while there aren't many restaurants, it wasn't an issue. A microwave was also available next to the elevator. It’s an accommodation I’d love to stay at again!
