A heartwarming overnight stay
We stayed here to celebrate a family member’s birthday. The service was excellent from check-in, and we felt very welcome. Thank you also for kindly upgrading our room. The food was delicious, and the staff thoughtfully brought dishes that were easy for our child to eat. It was heartwarming that everyone, from the reception staff and porters to the dinner servers, wished us a happy birthday. The hot spring baths were clean, and the water quality was excellent. We look forward to staying for more than one night next time.

Truly worthy of its five-star rating!
Truly worthy of five stars! This was the best hotel I’ve stayed at in years. The food, service, and hot springs were all outstanding—I couldn’t fault a thing. What impressed me most was the staff’s thoughtful care and warm smiles, which conveyed their genuine hospitality. This was my first visit to Zao Onsen, and it became an unforgettable memory. What a wonderful hotel!

Wonderful
Bad weather kept us from seeing Okama Crater, and the autumn foliage had already faded earlier than usual, leaving us both dejected. But the kimono-clad staff member who served us dinner brought smiles back to our faces. So cheerful, attentive, and efficient! We’ll be back next year!

Zao Onsen in Autumn
Unfortunately, it was raining on the day we arrived, but the hotel picked us up at the bus terminal. Since it was too early to check in, we left our luggage and were taken to a separate hot spring bath at their sister hotel. Our room was spacious, with views of the ropeway, a bridge, and the colorful autumn scenery. For dinner, we each tried a different style of sukiyaki, one seared and one traditional. The meat was very tender and delicious. The hotel was clean, and the outdoor baths in the large communal bathing areas, which alternate between men and women, had a lovely atmosphere, surrounded by autumn foliage. When it rained, we wore traditional rain hats while soaking. The breakfast buffet was average. After breakfast, the hotel drove us to the ropeway, where we enjoyed the magnificent scenery. We also visited the large outdoor bath, making the most of Zao Onsen. All the hotel staff were friendly. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

An exceptional inn in Yamagata that kept my mother smiling
My wife and I had a wonderful stay here in March 2026, so this time I returned with my mother, who is over 80, wanting her to experience the charm and atmosphere of Zao Kokusai Hotel. Although the skies were unfortunately cloudy that day, we were delighted to be back. Our stay exceeded expectations in every respect, but what stood out once again was the staff. Their genuine smiles and thoughtful care go well beyond scripted service and put them in a class of their own among the many places we have stayed. I believe this kind of hospitality comes from truly caring about guests. The gentle yet cheerful greetings at breakfast and dinner were especially lovely. They conveyed the staff’s friendliness and warmth and made us feel completely at ease. The young woman who showed us to our room was new to the team and had such a fresh, endearing manner. My mother remarked that talking to her felt just like chatting with her own granddaughter, which really stayed with me. Every part of the hotel was also carefully cleaned and maintained, making our stay extremely comfortable. The floors in the bathing and changing areas were even more beautifully polished than on our previous visit, and the subtle scent of wood added a lovely sense of luxury. The breakfast and dinner, the atmosphere of the baths, and the mineral-rich hot spring water with its distinctive sulfur scent were, needless to say, superb. The hotel takes particular care with the “beginning” and “end” of each experience in an understated way. The welcome dumplings and fruit, along with the delicious and creative dessert at dinner, perfectly captured their thoughtful, heartfelt hospitality. I came away convinced that the hotel’s consistently high ratings stem from the staff’s sincerity and warmth. Those qualities shine through in their greetings, service, cleaning, and cooking, creating memorable and satisfying stays for guests. It was a pleasure to see that the wonderful staff we met in March this year had refined their skills even further. I hope they continue sharing the wonders of Yamagata and Zao with many more people.

I was satisfied with this hotel.
The building shows its age, but the interior was spotless, and our room was exceptionally well cleaned! Dinner was excellent in both taste and presentation. Breakfast was average. All the staff were professional and welcoming. It was a wonderful surprise to find such consistently excellent service at a regional hotel! I stayed with my parents, who were also delighted. It made for a lovely, memorable trip. Thank you!

Enjoy Zao in Autumn
I stayed with my 97-year-old mother. The senior-friendly meals were just right in both flavor and portion size. Since we were staying multiple nights, the staff kept a full bottle of Yamagata wine for us, and we were able to enjoy it together. The free-flowing hot spring bath (pH 1.6) left our skin feeling refreshed without making us sweaty afterward, and my mother was very satisfied as well. The bathhouse, with its warm wooden atmosphere, was charming and wonderful. The weather was great, and from the ropeway we could see Mt. Gassan in the distance. Because it was a weekday, many of the guests were older (myself included), and at the breakfast buffet they seemed to be enjoying the wide variety of Yamagata flavors. It wasn’t peak winter season, but the hot spring town has lots of ups and downs; I thought it might have been even more enjoyable if there were a town-circulation bus coordinated by places like the tourism association (especially in an era when 30% of the population is elderly)… though that’s not really feedback about the accommodation itself.

It was an excellent Hotel after all.
This was our second stay. Last time, the hotel was spotless with thorough cleaning and the service was excellent, so we already felt it was a rare gem. This time, they upgraded our room, and we were able to enjoy a spacious, newer room. The food was delicious, the staff member who assisted us during meals was very pleasant, and of course the front desk staff were also wonderful—once again confirming what a welcoming hotel this is. We stay in many different places, but in reality there aren’t many hotels where you can feel this comfortable. I’m impressed by everything. It may be that everyone works in an enjoyable environment and that putting hospitality first is part of the hotel’s culture—but I truly felt that maintaining that consistently across all staff is not easy to achieve. We made more great memories here, and I sincerely hope to stay again. Thank you very much.

The building, staff, meals, and Onsen were all excellent.

The meals were delicious.
The Japanese-style dinner was very delicious. The portion size was just right. The staff were kind. I love saunas, so it was a little disappointing that there wasn’t one. If I have the chance to visit Zao again, I would definitely like to stay here again.

Classico
We stayed in midsummer as a couple with our two daughters in their 20s. The view from the Room was wonderful, and the Hotel Facility felt reliable and well maintained. The meals were exceptionally delicious. Zao Onsen itself is an old ski resort, but the classic atmosphere made for a pleasant experience.
- 5.00ホブのぶวันที่โพสต์: 4/8/2026
It was a very nice accommodation.
The Room, meals, and staff were all wonderful, and I was able to relax. The Onsen is strongly acidic, and I felt re-energized.

Thank you for a wonderful time.
My first time at Zao Onsen. I love sulfur springs, and I thoroughly enjoyed both the indoor bath and the open-air bath. It was lightly raining, but they had a hat-like cover (like what Jizo statues wear) available so my head wouldn’t get wet. Thanks to that, I was able to relax in the open-air bath as well.\nThe meals were also excellent—Yamagata beef and all the other dishes were delicious. The rice was Tsuyahime, making for a high-quality dinner with local ingredients.\nThanks to the staff’s warm smiles and attentive service, I had a wonderful time.

Milky Sulfur Hot Spring
A must for Onsen lovers: a milky-white, sulfur-rich natural hot spring with free-flowing source water. I was truly impressed by how wonderful Zao Onsen is. I stayed three nights in Yamagata, and this was the best place. I planned my trip to match cherry season, and the fresh greenery was dazzling—it became an unforgettable journey. I will visit again. Thank you for your hospitality. One note: conversations in the office behind the front desk could be heard outside more than expected. Ho ho ho.

This was my first st...
This was my first stay here. Thank you for accommodating us in a wonderful Room. The dinner was also very delicious. The bath had a great atmosphere as well. There were a fair number of guests at this Hotel, but the Zao Onsen town felt quiet and deserted. Maybe because it was the off-season? Or because it was a weekday?
- 4.8360kumaวันที่โพสต์: 4/6/2026
The bath is excellent, and the food and Room are also good, but...
There is no beer in the vending machines, and while you can find it at the shop, it is expensive. We strongly recommend buying it in town in Yamagata in advance.

The Onsen is amazing.
I saw this Hotel on TV and stayed here this time. The Onsen water was very good for my dermatitis, and the mineral deposits were excellent. The Hotel is old, but the meals were delicious, the view from the Room was great, and the Hotel staff were kind. The massage in particular was outstanding. I would like to see the winter snow monsters as well. If possible, I would like towels to be available in the bath area too.

Clean, spacious, and well-maintained.
Five of us—three generations of our family—stayed here. The Facility was spotless throughout and very comfortable, and it was an impressive Accommodation. The staff were kind and helpful as well. Breakfast offered a wide variety of dishes and was delicious, making our trip truly enjoyable. One minor drawback is the location at the top of a hill, which makes it a bit difficult to enjoy activities outside the Accommodation. For that reason, we would have liked to see a few more touches to help guests spend an elegant, relaxing time on-site. While there are quality chairs here and there, the reading area—something every good Hotel has—felt somewhat lacking. We thought that having more books about Zao, alpine plants, skiing, kokeshi dolls, and other local topics could offer guests an even richer experience of the area.

The mountain Onsen was wonderful.
This area is popular with skiers in winter, but spring was just as wonderful, with fresh greenery and a secluded mountain open-air Onsen that felt like a hidden hot spring. The relaxing scenery made me want to linger forever, and the nostalgic design of the Onsen building made it a truly memorable experience. The Tsuyahime rice and local dishes were also delicious.

Everything was wonderful.
Because we stayed in a Special Room, the view, spaciousness, and cleanliness were all perfect. As for the meals, the presentation and portion size initially felt fairly standard, but once we started eating, we could truly sense the depth behind each dish—from the appetizers onward—and how much care and thought had gone into every single item. The flavor exceeded our expectations. Regarding the large public bath: since it is a strongly acidic sulfur Onsen, there was indeed a strong sulfur smell throughout. However, the bath water at “Oomiya Ryokan,” a group Ryokan with Shuttle Service included, felt even better. When I asked about it, I was told that the source spring is actually here and that hot water is supplied to Zao Kokusai Hotel via piping. For that reason, I would recommend experiencing bathing at Oomiya Ryokan during your stay—or even after check-out by leaving your luggage here. (However, please note that Oomiya Ryokan is a small three-story property with no elevator, so I do not recommend staying overnight there.) As for Zao Onsen overall, I was impressed by how abundant the flow from the source springs is—more than expected—and felt that both its strong acidity (similar to Manza Onsen in Gunma Prefecture) and its intense sulfur aroma and milky-white appearance are quite alike. Lastly, all of the staff at Zao Kokusai Hotel provided excellent service. I would like to visit again in a different season. P.S.: The open-air bath is free-flowing from the source spring (kakenagashi), but I did wish the water temperature could be set a bit higher.

An Accommodation filled with the blessings of Zao and the heartfelt hospitality of Yamagata
A wonderful location with views of Zao. The creative, thoughtfully prepared meals were outstanding, and the sulfur Onsen—though known as one of Japan’s strongest acidic springs—was surprisingly comfortable, gently soothing as you soak. The natural atmosphere throughout the Onsen, along with the surrounding nature and starry sky seen through the windows, made it truly special. I believe this is one of Japan’s finest hot springs. The water was slightly on the hotter side, and I was able to enjoy the open-air bath for a long time. Above all, what I came to Yamagata seeking was the warmth and kindness of its people that I had experienced before—and this time it exceeded my expectations. The hospitality felt completely natural, never like a routine service task, and their genuine care was truly comforting. It was the most relaxed I have ever felt at an Onsen Accommodation. There may be many other Accommodations that feel luxurious simply because money has been spent on buildings or meals, but I felt Zao Kokusai Hotel is a rare and wonderful place where you can still sense what matters most in Japanese hospitality: the sincere kindness and warmth of the people who work there. Despite being a large and spacious Accommodation, their attentiveness in every detail throughout the Facility was exceptional in so many ways.

Spacious and comfortable
My spouse and I stayed in the South Wing for three nights and went skiing for two days. The building feels spacious throughout, and the Room was large and relaxing. Access to the ski drying room was convenient, and we loved being able to step out to the slopes right away. The Onsen is a sulfur spring, but the smell was not particularly noticeable, and the open-air bath was very pleasant. Dinner featured thoughtfully prepared dishes and tasted fine, but the portions were too large for an elderly couple like us. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options and was very satisfying. The staff greeted us properly, and their friendly service was appreciated. Overall, it was a comfortable and relaxing four-day stay.

Highly recommended.
I had a very relaxing day in Zao. The hotel was comfortable, and the public bath was especially soothing and well maintained. There is also a footbath you can enjoy. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious with a wide variety of options, and it was quick to get to the ropeway the next day. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit.

An amazing accommodation beyond words
I love Onsen and visit Onsen accommodations across the whole country almost every month, but this accommodation feels exceptionally comfortable and special. The Onsen is very calming, with sulfuric water that makes your skin smooth and gives you a rejuvenated feeling. The meals are made with local ingredients, offering both excellent presentation and taste! Personally, I loved the Yonezawa beef grilled on a ceramic plate. The room was upgraded by the kind courtesy of the accommodation, providing a very spacious space with a sofa and massage chair. It was incredibly quiet and relaxing. Time passed slowly here, and I had a great night's sleep in the large bed. I deeply appreciate the thoughtfulness and hospitality of all the staff members, and I look forward to visiting again.

The Onsen was very relaxing.
The staff were all very kind and promptly provided Shuttle Service to nearby areas, which was great. The Room was very clean, and the large public bath with wooden flooring felt wonderful. The Onsen was also excellent.

The hospitality of the hotel staff, the cuisine, and the onsen were all excellent. I am especially grateful for their thoughtful gestures. I would love to stay again if I have the opportunity.

I stayed with a friend. The spacious room, the satisfying onsen, and the delicious meals were all wonderful. Although it is a bit far from the station, the shuttle service was very helpful. I would love to visit again in a different season.

I would like to stay again!
I stayed for one night on October 31. I had stayed at this accommodation once before, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, I was disappointed by the low level of hospitality and some unhelpful staff, but I revisited because the onsen was excellent. This time, the staff's hospitality was outstanding and very impressive. In particular, the female staff member who guided me to my room initially, the male staff member who kindly took a photo for me with my phone as I left the dinner venue, and the senior male staff member at the breakfast venue were all truly wonderful. Their service made me want to visit again in the future. The only disappointment was that despite it being autumn foliage season, there were no autumn leaves visible from my room; instead, all I could see was another hotel building.
- 5.00旅好きラベンダーวันที่โพสต์: 27/10/2025
It was excellent!
Stayed on October 25th. The cuisine was exceptional. Starting with delicate appetizers like autumn eggplant and duck breast pie, sweet potato and chestnut cheese terrine, followed by the hearty Yonezawa beef grilled on a ceramic plate and Tsuyahime rice, everything was absolutely delicious. The view from the room showcased stunning autumn foliage, and the open-air bath provided a relaxing experience to recover from fatigue. The staff's cheerful smiles added to the perfection of this accommodation. I would love to stay here again when revisiting Yamagata.

Onsen is the best!
The room was spacious and comfortable. The Onsen was excellent in both quality and atmosphere. Regarding the meals, they were satisfying enough for this price range. This was a return visit, and I would love to stay at this Hotel again.
