Wonderful

Clean and spacious room. It kinda expensive in ski season, but still the best choice at Zao, Yamagata.
Smoking room is near the lobby, which is a really bad design, you can smell the stinks every time before taking the elevator.
Overall, a great place to stay.
Great staff. Close to the ski lifts. Very enjoyable. Recommend ordering the hotel dinners ahead of time unless you plan on dining in Yamagata (30 min drive).
Great staff. Delicious food.
Shuttle schedule does not coordinate with train schedule. Even the public bus schedule. We came in from Sendai and just missed public bus. Had to wait an hour. For the shuttle bus it was almost a 2 hour wait.
Service was very good. We were picked up at bus station very soon after we informed the hotel of our arrival. Room was clean and spacious. Futon was nice to sleep on. Onsen was good. Meals were delicious, especially the grilled beef.
Very clean and well-kept hotel in Zao, with generous rooms. Perfect for ski-trips or just for a relaxing weekend. Zao is not a big town, so the location is perfect if you want a bit more quiet place in walking distance of the ropeway. Free shuttle to and from the bus terminal goes frequently, available on request. Service was very friendly and accommodating.
Despite the fact that we already had checked out in the morning, we could still use the hot spring bath when we came to the hotel to pick up our luggage in the afternoon, after a day of hiking.
