Zao Onsen Matsukane-ya Annex
Yamagata Prefecture/YamagataEnjoy the great nature of Zao, 100% natural hot springs, and rich local cuisine.
The property boasts a natural 100% flowing hot spring bath with a stunning view. Combined with an alkaline hot spring large bath, it offers a rich bathing experience. Guests are welcomed with handmade dishes rich in local flavors. Relax and unwind in the spacious area, soothing travel fatigue. Enjoy a comfortable stay in a tatami Room. Additionally, the baths surrounded by the great nature of Zao are exceptional. Savor local and creative dishes made with seasonal ingredients from Yamagata.
The townscape, bath, meals, and service were all perfect. Although foreign staff were employed, possibly due to a shortage of workers, they were doing their best. Coincidentally, the TV program "Bura Tamori" featured Zao during our stay, which helped us understand its history better and made for truly wonderful memories.
Yahoo!トラベルユー... 11/3/2025Bath: Both body and mind were warmed. Meals: Satisfied with the creative dishes highlighting local ingredients. The variety of dishes left us feeling full and content.
