Hotel Dengan bar di 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.

Right in front of the Sakata station  Our room is comfortable with very good panoramic Mountain View. While we staying, a space connected to the lobby there was an event selling local products such as sake, fresh produces, craft etc.  Very good breakfast Highly recommended. If you have time, Ken Domon museum of photography(just outside the city of Sakata) is a  must.

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 The rooms are a bit outdated but still maintained well.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

お部屋、寝具は清潔で快適でした。近隣のマラソン大会出場に合わせて泊まったのですが、通常よりも早めに朝食を用意頂きありがたかったです。お風呂の設備が少しアップデート必要かなと思いましたが、他は概ね満足です。コスパ良いと思います。

The hotel has pick up and return service from The Zao onsen bus terminal. The hotel had onsen indoor and outdoor which is perfect. The location is just 5mins Walk to the Zao chuo rope way. It is a perfect hotel if you are heading to the zao mountain to ski. Outside the hotel 5 mins Walk to Lawson. Opp the hotel, 5mins Walk is also a small kiosk selling super Nice ice cream. The hotel Breakfast and dinner are also pretty decent. Stayed for 2 nights, they prepared 2 different meals.

Fantastic location, the hotel is in the Yamagata Station itself. Zao Station is outside the hotel. We went to Ginzan Onsen via JR to Oishida Station., it just took 40 minutes. There is a shopping centre called S-Pal, very convenient. I will re-book the hotel when returning to Yamagata. Recommended 👍👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰

Hotel abit old but it’s clean . Located just beside the beach and it’s good for either a morning or evening walk . However, there are no nearby shops but they do have a convenience store in the hotel itself . Overall a satisfactory stay

The hotel is beautifully decorated in Japanese style. There is stunning scenery outside the window of our room. The dinner is surprisingly good with excellent service, well decorated dishes of tasty food. Definitely will stay here again in next visit to North East Japan.

Super amazing location and hospitality. Our stay at this landmark spot was made even more comfortable and memorable by the amazing food and staff at Ginzanso!!

Great hotel with great location to explore the shirotsuzuji park and shrine.
