Zao Shiki no Hotel

I stayed here for skiing. The meals were delicious, and I enjoyed the sulfur hot springs both inside the Hotel and outside. The food was excellent, and I loved being able to try local ingredients. The staff were friendly and very attentive, which made it a wonderful trip. It was a shame that the snow monsters had melted and there wasn’t much snow for skiing, but next year I’ll come earlier.

Two years ago, on my first trip to Yamagata, I stayed at the sister Hotel Omiya.Last year, I stayed at the International Hotel.This time, I made a Reservation here to try the other one.It was still a bit early for the cherry blossoms,but this is also a wonderful Hotel.You can enjoy drinks anytime in the lobby,and the Room was very clean and even had a massage chair.We also received melon as a welcome service.The bathhouse just a short walk away has cloudy mineral water,and it feels amazing.It felt like having a private bath—perfect.The meals were delicious;the meat was tender, and there were so many dishes we couldn’t finish them all.Above all, Yamagata rice is outstanding.I want to come back again and again.All of the staff are truly friendly,always smiling and lovely—it makes me smile too.I definitely want to visit again.Thank you very much.
