Hotels in Tsuruoka
The only natural onsen right in front of our train station! Guests can view the mountains from our top-floor open air bath!
"I spent two nights in Tokyo Daiichi Hotel Tsuruoka and I would stay there again. The location is very good - ten minutes easy walk from Tsuruoka JR train station and it's directly connected to S-Mall, so you don't even have to go outside to access the shops and restaurants in the mall. There is also a bus terminal at the mall for local buses - I caught a bus from there to Mount Haguro.
The bedroom was a good size for a Japanese business hotel with a good size desk and chair. However, I could only find one power socket! It's good that I brought a power strip! Typical of Japanese hotels with Onsen / Sentō the bathroom is small - most people would use the public bath facilities to shower.
The hotel has a Japanese style bath, however it was in the annexe, so it was rather confusing the first time I tried to find it. Two of the baths were inaccessible - the door was locked. The main bath was okay, there is a sauna and cold plunge pool.
The front desk were very polite, efficient and could speak basic English."

"I stayed here while traveling from Kyushu.
I had a comfortable time.
The staff were warm and welcoming, and were full of hospitality.
The room was neatly arranged, and I was very satisfied with the cleanliness, including the fact that there were chilled towels in the refrigerator and that we could choose our yukata.
The large public bath was bright and very clean, not a single hair was found, and the water felt great. I usually don't bathe in the morning, but I couldn't help but take a dip!
I was also very satisfied with the food, both dinner and breakfast! The flavors were mild and the portions were just right, neither too much nor too little.
I was able to relax in the lounge as well. The grapefruit juice was delicious!
I felt that the entire hotel was carefully thought out.
I would like to stay here again. It was a fond memory. Thank you."

"I've stayed in over a dozen onsen ryokans of this type, but this one really missed the mark, especially considering the price of over 3000 yen per night.
1. The hot spring water itself is excellent, but any onsen in Zao is bound to be good.
2. The rooms don't have private bathrooms. Here's the main issue: the entire ryokan only has two small onsen pools. One has 2 shower stalls, and the other has 6. Imagine 8 men squeezed into a pool of about 2 square meters, then queuing to take a shower – what a scene! Plus, all these are indoor pools; the ryokan doesn't offer any outdoor baths.
3. The pictures show the public bath in front of the hotel, which I ended up paying a few hundred yen to use because the hotel's own pools were so disappointing.
Overall, if you're looking to enjoy hot spring bathing, do not book here. If your main purpose is skiing, you might consider it, as it's only a 5-minute walk from the ski slopes."

"Superb! The facilities are excellent, service is great, and the location is very convenient. The hot spring is incredibly relaxing.
I didn't expect a hot spring hotel not located in the mountains to be this good. The food quality is also good, and very filling.
The only downside is that they keep your shoes in the lobby, so you have to ask them to retrieve them every time you go in or out. It's best not to go in and out too frequently."

"After getting off at Zao Onsen bus stop, turn right over the bridge and walk straight for about 6-7 minutes. It's really easy to find, right opposite the ropeway station, and just past the convenience store. Pictures 1 and 2 show the hotel exterior. It's a chain hotel, and both the food and service were excellent, very satisfying! 👍 The hot spring bath was absolutely fantastic. Even though the facilities are a bit dated, soaking in the old springs is so relaxing. It's perfectly suited for those coming to ski or hike."

The hotel staff is very enthusiastic to help There is a translator at the front desk so you are not afraid of not understanding
After 9pm you can freely choose the hot spring. After soaking in the hot spring, there is milk to drink
The room was large however a bit old but did not affect the overall experience
The only inconvenience is that the location is a bit far from the attractions, it is best to have a car
The room does not have a bathroom. You have to take a shower in the public bath
The dinner is rich and the service is attentive

The receptionist here is very kind, although they don't speak each other's language, they are still kind and communicate with us with gestures and paper. The room is exactly the same as the hotel introduced, very cute Japanese style, the heating and bed have been turned on when entering the room, the whole is very intimate! You can soak in the hot springs in the room, very comfortable 😌 The bed is hard, but this is also one of the characteristics! You can also store your luggage after check-out! Everything is beautiful, I recommend everyone to live!

漫活的人生下半場
This was my first time staying at Zao Shiki, and it's conveniently located just a 7-minute walk from the Zao Ropeway station. The lobby felt a bit dark when I walked in, with an old European style. While the snow view from the balcony was beautiful, it wasn't very expansive. The room seemed to have been renovated, with two single beds that were very comfortable, spacious, and clean. Although the hotel has both indoor and outdoor hot springs, I was informed that the outdoor one was temporarily closed for some reason, so I could only use the indoor one. The hotel also offers access to a separate 'hut' about 100 steps away, which has outdoor, indoor, and foot baths. It was a bit of a hassle, but they provide yukatas, red heavy snow coats, and boots at the entrance to walk over, which was quite fun despite the snow outside.

This ryokan-style hotel boasts a beautiful location on a snow-covered mountain, right next to a stunning ski resort. The accommodations are very convenient, featuring separate shower and toilet facilities within the room. There's also a private onsen available for a small fee, offering a wonderfully private outdoor bathing experience. The hotel provides excellent shuttle services to various destinations; you can easily request a ride to the Zao Ropeway to see the Snow Monsters, as well as to restaurants, the bus station, and more.

Absolutely lovely place. At first I thought I'd be uncomfortable with how spaceous the room was (I'm a very jumpy solo traveller), but the room was just so comfy with an excellent view. The heater was a bit hot, but there was an electric fan too, so all was great.
The hotel allows you to have a free 50 minute private bath each night, and the private baths are amazing, able to accommodate up to five persons and with windows to let in the light and stuff. Excellent onsen water -- very acidic and very hot. Takes some time getting used to the heat, but once you do it's a heavenly experience. There are also public baths (free of charge) that you could enjoy throughout the night and into early morning (they're closed for cleaning only during 9-12 in the morning), one indoor and one outdoor, both connected to one another. The outdoor one is a bit small, but it's so refreshing to be able to flee from the stifling indoor onsen to enjoy the crisp winter air while soaking up in the heat.

Overall a practical hotel close to the slopes, room was simple but fine. Free shuttle provided which proved very convenient. Breakfast was good with different options both Japanese and western styles. Staff was helpful especially the Japanese personnel and the young lady in the breakfast room however there was one Indian-like man who was not really hospitable, never smiling and never talking (no hello, nothing at all) staring at you which made me uncomfortable.

Guest UserA wonderful place to stay in. The service was fantastic. The room was huge, much too large for just a solo traveler like me but it would have been perfect if I had brought my wife and child along. The onsen quality was great, albeit the fittings at the shower area were a bit old. The food was hands down amazing and featured great local produce. Honestly there was too much for one person to finish! What I especially liked was that they had a separate room on the first floor where if it was too early for you to check in, you could drop your luggage off, change, and then grab your gear and head to the slopes. Same thing if you intend to charge the slopes a bit more on your last day, just leave your stuff in the storage room, hit the slopes, come back and change out, hit the onsen for the last time, then go off. Definitely recommending this place to my friends visiting Zao.
