The property is in a very convenient location with bathhouses a short walk away as well as a little convenience/souvenir shop across the road. The owner is very very kind and accomodating. Make sure you try their Iga Mochi store downstairs (run buy the accomodation owner too)! I regret not purchasing more.

The hotel was lovely and staff were excellent. Great location and an easy walk to the ski field and village for dinner. I stayed in a traditional Japanese room and the view of the village was beautiful. The staff were always helpful and very friendly. Highly recommend.

I mainly booked this hotel because it was the only one that had available rooms for the period we wanted. There's nothing particularly good about it but also nothing particularly bad. The best thing about it is the location close to the ski slope.

This beautiful hotel is in a great location. It only took us a 10-minute walk from the JR Station and a 5-minute walk from the ropeway station. The dinner was superb, with a variety of delicate Japanese dishes and grill beef. The famous beef was so tender and delicious. We were so full and the staff offered us take-away dessert that we could enjoy later in our room. Free shuttle bus service from Yamagata JR Station to the hotel could be reserved in advance. Great service!
