The Yamagata Ski area (Zao Onsen) is fantastic. It wasnt crowded, lessons for kids and adults were AUD$55 for 4 hours, lifts were @4$ per lift. Gear hire was AUD$65 for 2 days PP. In Australia lift passes are $250 per day alone. The hotel Sailor Hutte was literally at the base of the ski lifts. Food was cheap ($10-14 per meal) booze was cheap ($3.50 for a beer). The guys at the Hotel Sailor Hutte were great, make an effort to chat with them via your translator app. Its worth it. One more thing, I would recommend buying Shinkansen tickets directly from JR East rail online. Heaps cheaper than buying a seven day pass unless you are planning to spend 7 days on the train. FYI there are 3 Shinkansen companies East, Central and West. They have there own websites a bit clunky in English but it works. Good luck.

Yamagata is a beautiful mountainous prefecture.
Yamagata is a beautiful mountainous prefecture. There are many places to visit and things to do. We rented a car and I believe this is a must if you want to sight see and time is an issue for you. By car from Yamagata train station, Zao Onsen is about 40-50 minutes away, Ginzan Onsen an hour, Yamadera about 20-30 mins. If you are into photography, there are many great landscape photos you can take here.

Not very famous place for travelingas not much to see in the city.
If you could have a car or rent one, could go more places.
Basically in Yamagata prefecture, public transportation doesn't cover much as it is not a prefecture mainly for sightseeing though there are several nice places to go.

Yamagata is ideal as a base to get to Zao Onsen and Ginzan Onsen. There are bus and train connections to these two incredibly beautiful places. We also took the train through beautiful mountainous countryside to the coast to Matsushima, one of the three most beautiful places in Japan. Climbing 1100 steps at Yamadera was exhausting but so worth it when you saw the view over the valley. This area seems to be undiscovered by western tourists yet.
The hotel is in a central position, near the railway station, in an area with a lot of restaurants and shop. At 1st floor there is a direct access to a convenience-store, so useful in case you need something last minute. Check-in time very fast. The rooms are quite small - but this seems to be the standard in Japan - whereas the bathroom is bigger than the standard, with big shower box and bath-tub. Possibility to choose between asian or western breakfast.
Great, old school Japanese place to stay, right next to the gondola - its about a 20meter walk to the gondola entrance! And you can ski down the hill, right to the door. The room was nice and big with traditional tatami and futons.
Great staff - the owner speaks really good english and is really helpful - he has great suggestions for everything from Onsen to restaurants etc. They even helped me ship my snowboard with Kuroneko back to Narita.
- Helpful staff as one of them helped us with the kuroneko yamato waybill for shipping our luggages to our next hotel in Osaka.
- There were dedicated areas for you to collect your delivered luggages or put your luggages for delivery (with the waybill) in the lobby.
- Clean toilets despite it being shared.
- Room was also quite spacious.
- Location is next to Zao Heim Ski School.
- Ski area is in front of the hotel.
One of the best hotels I've experienced in Japan. It's at the train station (literally), but the rooms were tranquil, with a nice view of the city and mountains. The reception hall is magnificent. The location couldn't be any better. My room was small but not tiny, and I felt that I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. For sure the best place for any Yamagata travellers!
The staff was very helpful. They assisted in filling out the forms we needed to use the takyubin transport service to send luggage to a future accommodation.
We were given a space , just off the main lobby area where we were able to assemble our bicycles.
The breakfast buffet, both Japanese and Western, was varied and delicious.
I enjoyed the public bath, the convenience store on site. The location and the free parking was a real blessing. Nice city, friendly people, the hotel is a bit old but the room was larger than the room you get in more modern hotel. Awesome for people who enjoy Showa still accommodations.I would definitely stay rhere again
Great location right beside the station, there's even a covered walkway straight to the building.
The view is fantastic, I think this is the tallest building in Yamagata and the hotel is located at the top. There's also a Family Mart and a cinema in the building
The Location near the Yamagata station. the front at the 24th of the building but entrance is complicated. Breakfast is bento set and go cold. The convenient store is the 1st floor . The room so clean and nice view of Yamagata City
The hotel located in very strategic area, actually it was inside Yamagata station, so really good for traveler! The check in and check out process very smooth, and the room was very cozy. Love to stay in here!
Location 5 mins away from Yamagata station.
Free breakfast.
Usual business hotel amenities, there were even large-sized nightgowns available.
Smooth check-in and check-out process with baggage drop-off
The location next to the station, the staff very helpfull and near to the restarurant, cafe and kombini... And the breakfast also many variant. I will be stay in here again when i come to yamagata. 🙂🙂
Hotel Castle is 8 minutes walk from Yamagata Station. There are nearby restaurants and convenience stores in the area. The service bath salt was great! There were a lot of selection to choose from!
Great location, friendly staff, clean, and comfortable hotel! Parking next door for extra fee. Washing machine on site. 30 minutes from Zao Onsen Skiing Resort.
