Amazing place, clean spacious rooms for the Japanese style rooms, great dinner and breakfast and clean onsens. Would highly reccomend for those staying in the Yamagata area given tbe proximity to the train station
The room was a beautiful Japanese style room with table and chairs and futons on tatami mats amazing bathroom and private and public onsen! Would have stayed long if I could have!
The staff was very welcoming. We loved the craft beer happy hour and our private outdoor bath. We also loved the local people we met eating outside of the hotel and shopping for pottery. We stayed for the proximity to Zao Aki resort. We didnt use it but there was a free shuttle for that.
The staff are friendly and helpful.
I like the welcome drink corner which has free flow of alcohol and non-alcohol drinks from 16:00 to 22:00

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff insist that there's dinner included when check in which I doubt. I go ahead with dinner even though was not feeling too great and did not finish the whole meal course. Upon check out I was then told that I have to pay $3300 yen for dinner by another staff. The check in staff did not convey the cost of the dinner at at all.
