Set in Yamagata and with Zao Onsen Ski Resort reachable within 600 metres, オーベルジュ樹氷 offers a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The hostel has ski-to-door access. The warm and cosy atmosphere as you enter. The social area is just right before and after a days skiing. You feel welcome and at home particularly as you can use the kitchen area. Rio greets you and he is amazingly helpful, kind and considerate and will go the extra mile to serve you well. Great value for a hostal style accommodation in a ski resort. The bunks are double size with warm blankets. The bath downstairs is a welcome retreat after skiing if you don’t fancy the 7 min walk to the local onsen. Well worth it. Check which one with Rio. Note it shuts at 7 pm but the baths in the hotel remain open. Rio has an array of beverages in his bar and restaurants are easy. Just go nextdoor ! Thank you for your hospitality Rio.

Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and a lift, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The ryokan has family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests. Great all inclusive especially for beer enthusiasts. The room had a lot of space even with the futons laid out. We enjoyed the open air bath in the room and the private onsen. The meals were fantastic especially the dinners.

Nice draught beer! Shower in room with a shared hot bath that could be booked for free. There's a ski/boot room in the basement that opens onto the slope. The decor is a bit dated but in a very charming way.

Set 24 km from Kamo Aquarium and 47 km from Shinjo Station, Shukubo Kanbayashi Katsukane is situated in Mount Haguro district of Tsuruoka. This guest house offers free private parking, luggage storage space and free WiFi. This place was a true sanctuary during my two-month journey. I originally planned to stay just a short while, but it felt so peaceful and welcoming that I ended up extending my stay. There was so much to explore in the area. I discovered the three sacred mountains of Haguro, Gassan, and Yudono, part of the Dewa Sanzan, and I wanted to experience them all. The traditional accommodation was simple, beautiful, and full of charm .Bus stop and great food spot just across the street. I truly didn’t want to leave. What made it even more special were the two amazing women who run the place with such kindness and care. I felt at home from the moment I arrived. I will never forget my time here.

This ryokan offers free private parking and luggage storage space. The accommodation provides a hot tub, free WiFi throughout the property and family rooms. Super Host & Super Chef! Warm, welcoming, and deeply attentive — the hosts are truly exceptional. Their dedication and knowledge shine through every detail, especially in the meals and the overall stay. Whether you request a pure Buddhist vegetarian meal or have specific needs, they go the extra mile with care and heart. Communication is smooth in both English and Japanese, which makes everything easy and reassuring. A small team, yet incredibly skillful. I’m truly amazed by their hospitality. This is not just a stay — it’s a rare, heartfelt experience that cannot be exchanged for anything. I feel truly blessed. Thank you so much. Very highly recommended. May all your kindness and efforts be returned with abundant merits and blessings. 南無阿弥陀仏 Namu Amida Butsu 🙏🏻😊🌿
