Hot Springs Hotels 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.

This hotel has a few downsides. First, if you're staying on the third floor, you'll have to carry your own luggage as the hotel staff are few and you have to do everything yourself. Second, breakfast and dinner are just mediocre, so don't expect too much, especially since this is only a mid-range onsen hotel. Given that the room rates were particularly expensive for New Year's, you really can't have high expectations. Still, being able to come here for Christmas to enjoy the snowy mountain scenery and ancient hot springs is already a wonderful escape from city life. We stayed here for five days, and the most unsatisfactory part was being forced to eat breakfast at a fixed time. That's simply unacceptable when you're on vacation. The Japanese truly are incredibly stubborn!

This hot spring hotel has a quiet environment and thoughtful service! The spring water is smooth and soothing, the rooms are clean and elegant, and the meals are exquisite and delicious. The friendly smiles of the staff make people feel warm. Highly recommended whether it's a couple's vacation or a family trip, I will definitely visit again!

The room was very spacious, and the facilities were decent. The hotel staff were very friendly. There's also a private onsen available for an extra charge. You can buy lift tickets and rent ski equipment directly at the hotel, and the prices are slightly cheaper. The hotel dinners tend to be kaiseki-style, different every day but feeling somewhat similar. Breakfast is a buffet. Overall, it was pretty good, but the lack of a washing machine was inconvenient, especially since clothes can get a bit smelly after skiing.

Charming onsen hotel located 5 min drive from Kaminoyama station. A shuttle pick up can be arranged with the hotel ahead of time available from 1430-1800. It’s a relatively dated property but well maintained. A small public onsen with a rotenburo, and a small private onsen within the room comfortable for two. The spring water through the property is the same. Meals provided are extensive, balanced and nutritious featuring local specialities like yam, Yamagata and Yonezawa beef. Drinks are offered at the lounge in the afternoon from 1700, morning coffee and tea available from 0800. Overall a comfortable and luxurious stay.

An old style hotel with a beautiful Onsen and nice foot spa. Friendly staff who tried their best to explain things in English. Nice free transfer service to and from Yamagata station but need to book 3 days prior. Breakfast and Dinner options are fantastic and very tasty. Also walkable to the Cable car station.

Laoqian Premium Hotel だけあり Equipment も Pick-up も Full く Problem ありません. However, one thing I was worried about was that I went to the dining room at the designated time at dinner, but I had to wait a long time. There was no more like a string to hold the sleeve of a yukata. It may have happened, but it was very disappointing because it was a luxury inn that I rarely go to.

in general very good, a minor comment. the website of hotel only provide the choice of dinner and breadfast, the website of trip.com only provice breakfast. i stay 3 nights and only want to have 1 dinner in hotel, then i need to book one night from hotel website, 2 nights from trip.com. then contact hotel directly and join the 2 bookingd

I stayed here on a trip from Kyushu. I was able to spend a comfortable time. The staff were also greeted calmly and hospitality was full. The rooms are also neatly arranged, and I am very satisfied with the fact that there was a cold towel in the refrigerator and that I could choose a yukata. The bath is bright and the large communal bath has not fallen one hair, it is very clean, the hot water is comfortable, and I usually don't take a bath in the morning, but I just entered! And the meal is very satisfying with dinner and breakfast! It was just right with a gentle taste and not much, not much. I was able to spend a relaxing time in the lounge. The grapefruit juice was very delicious! I felt that the whole hotel was worried about detail. I want to stay again. It was a good memory. Thank you very much.

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
