Absolutely incredible! The staff was very friendly and the onsens were relaxing. We didn't realize there was a shiatsu massage chair in the room. That was a definite bonus. We went for the junior suite, which was a bit of a splurge, but worth every penny. I would definitely recommend the upgrade.

Every detail was considered for the ultimate relaxing stay. The meals were great, the lobby always had refreshments and the massaging chair in the room was perfect. The main draw to staying here was the hot springs. I was relieved that my tattoo was not an issue in the baths. I would love to come back and stay longer next time!

My wife and I truly enjoy our 3-days-2-nights stay at Zao Shiki No Hotel. This is our every first time visiting Zao, in Yamagata Prefecture. Free shuttle services are included to-and-fro between Yamagata Station and the hotel (with prior booking of the service) This is wonderful, and absolutely convenient. Check-in process is quick and smooth and the front-desk staff is able to communicate with us in English. The room assigned to us is on the 6 floor. It is so clean and spacious. We love the room! Breakfasts and dinners are included in our hotel booking. They are great! We enjoy our meals during our stay in the hotel. The staff in the restaurant are friendly and provide good services. Thank you for storing a bottle of Sake which I have ordered it during my dinner on the 1st night. Haha. I couldn't finish drinking the entire 300ml bottle of Sake by myself alone as my wife is not drinking it. The staff is willing to store and keep the bottle of my Sake so that I can enjoy it for my dinner on the 2nd day. Thank you team! We enjoy our stay! We will return some day in the future !
