Ryokanit kohteessa Zao Onsen

Atte Suomi

Henkilökunta oli erittäin ystävällistä ja avuliasta. Ateriat olivat hyviä ja monipuolisia, huoneet tilavia. Useita perinteisiä kylpylöitä hyvin lähellä.

Our stay at Takamiya Ryokan Miyamaso was one of our highlights of our honeymoon! The hotel is insanely charming and very well kept. You can see it's an old building but it doesn't look old or worn down. The staff are friendly and polite, and greet you by the door when you arrive and leave the hotel. They were also very accomodating to us when we asked to keep out futons out, as we wanted to take a nap during the day. Dinner and breakfast was amazing and a lovely experience, it was delicious and presented nicely and staff was attentive and friendly. Our suite was amazing, and we loved having our own private bath outside on a balcony overlooking a snowy hill.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Having stayed at Zao Onsen thirty years ago when I worked in Japan, I wanted to share the Zao Onsen experience with my husband, and chose this hotel on the basis of the photos and reviews on Booking.com. On arrival, it all seemed very familiar. After experiencing the onsen bath, and the location of our room, I'm quite sure I had chosen the same hotel where I stayed back then! Obviously it has been quite recently refurbished, but there are some parts that don't change so much. We opted to have dinner at the hotel, which was excellent. Due to some confusion about exactly where the Z90 bus for Zao Onsen left Yamagata city,we missed the bus we wanted to take, so arrived around 6.45pm. (According to Google Maps, we could catch the Z90 from a stop about 50 yards from our previous hotel, but the reception staff there insisted we had to go to Yamagata station... so we missed the bus by one minute. After an hour and a half wait for the next one, the first stop after Yamagata station was, yes, you guessed it, 50 yards from our previous hotel!) As dinner is set out with fresh ingredients to be cooked at your table, you can't be later than 7pm. There is a shuttle bus from the hotel to Zao bus termius, but we didn't know about it, so walked to the hotel. Unfortunately, the short cut route we had planned was closed due to road works, so it was a much longer, and steeper, walk. The next morning, we got the shuttle bus to the bus terminus to return to Yamagata city. The onsen is really wonderful. Zao has a very special PH balance to the water. The bath at this onsen is superb.

Itoya could be Zao Onsen's unofficial museum, brimming with bric-a-brac and skiing memorablia. Spacious rooms with mountain views and plenty of hot water for tea. Traditional Japanese breakfast at 7.30am with jazz (definitely book the breakfast option, you won't find any better in town). A shrine of sorts to the Beatles (!). Excellent little onsen – I always had the women's one to myself, such a treat. Sweet elderly couple doing a heroic job running the place on their own. WIFI was strong. Drying room for ski gear. Many thoughtful touches, including your own kimono. Be sure to buy your ski pass from them as you get a good discount. < 10 mins walk to several ski lifts. I can't wait to go back.

Breakfast was traditional and nice. The staff were incredibly helpful and drove us to the places we needed to get to. Room was clean and simple but everything you need.

Great location, 5 minutes walking from the ski resort, 1 minute from public onsen, 2 minutes walking from the bus stop. A lot of restaurants around. The stuff are friendly. The breakfast is really good, Japanese style.
