Exactly as I would expect, clean, tidy, staff friendly. Still can't get used to the pillows budget Japanese hotels provide so I pack a little one. Apart from this the room is very comfortable. A cooked breakfast is not offered at this APA but muffins, toast and coffee provided in the foyer in the morning. Convenience stores close by if you wanted a cooked breakfast.

The Yamagata Ski area (Zao Onsen) is fantastic.
The Yamagata Ski area (Zao Onsen) is fantastic. It wasnt crowded, lessons for kids and adults were AUD$55 for 4 hours, lifts were @4$ per lift. Gear hire was AUD$65 for 2 days PP. In Australia lift passes are $250 per day alone. The hotel Sailor Hutte was literally at the base of the ski lifts. Food was cheap ($10-14 per meal) booze was cheap ($3.50 for a beer). The guys at the Hotel Sailor Hutte were great, make an effort to chat with them via your translator app. Its worth it. One more thing, I would recommend buying Shinkansen tickets directly from JR East rail online. Heaps cheaper than buying a seven day pass unless you are planning to spend 7 days on the train. FYI there are 3 Shinkansen companies East, Central and West. They have there own websites a bit clunky in English but it works. Good luck.

Yamagata is a beautiful mountainous prefecture.
Yamagata is a beautiful mountainous prefecture. There are many places to visit and things to do. We rented a car and I believe this is a must if you want to sight see and time is an issue for you. By car from Yamagata train station, Zao Onsen is about 40-50 minutes away, Ginzan Onsen an hour, Yamadera about 20-30 mins. If you are into photography, there are many great landscape photos you can take here.

Not very famous place for travelingas not much to see in the city.
If you could have a car or rent one, could go more places.
Basically in Yamagata prefecture, public transportation doesn't cover much as it is not a prefecture mainly for sightseeing though there are several nice places to go.

Yamagata is ideal as a base to get to Zao Onsen and Ginzan...
Yamagata is ideal as a base to get to Zao Onsen and Ginzan Onsen. There are bus and train connections to these two incredibly beautiful places. We also took the train through beautiful mountainous countryside to the coast to Matsushima, one of the three most beautiful places in Japan. Climbing 1100 steps at Yamadera was exhausting but so worth it when you saw the view over the valley. This area seems to be undiscovered by western tourists yet.
This is my second time staying here, and it's probably my favorite accommodation in all of Japan. The staff is incredible, the atmosphere at the place is fantastic, thanks to the shared dinner offered almost every night. The value you get for breakfast+dinner+a twin bed in a super nice room is kinda ridiculous if I'm honest.
Even the fact that it's 15 minute walk from the station is outweighed in my opinion by the fact that you get to pass by the extremely nice castle park on the way.
I genuinely didn't want to leave 😂
Excellent Location, the building was connected with Yamagata JR station. Once we got off the Shinkansen and walked out of the station gate, it just lead straight to the hotel entrance with 1 minute short walk. So convenient! The room we received was the South tower which was relatively new. It's very neat and tidy. Within a small stroll, you can reach many restaurants and bars around the station. Highly recommend!
Exactly as I would expect, clean, tidy, staff friendly. Still can't get used to the pillows budget Japanese hotels provide so I pack a little one. Apart from this the room is very comfortable. A cooked breakfast is not offered at this APA but muffins, toast and coffee provided in the foyer in the morning. Convenience stores close by if you wanted a cooked breakfast.
Our room was absolutely amazing, we got the suite with onsen on the veranda. The onsen on the top floor had a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains. The dinners were delicious and the souvenir shop had a nice selection of goods. Interior design of the hotel was very interesting, fun to explore. Overall service was impeccable, very friendly and helpful staff.
Good location from Yamagata Station. 8 minutes walk from East Exit. Good value with substantial Western or Japanese breakfast provided. Next to convenient store 7-11 and a very good BBQ beef restaurant. The room has a massage armchair to soothe tired muscles.
7 min walk from Yamagata Station that has busses for Zao Onsen Ski Resort. Has public coin laundry at the hotel in certain floors, can hold luggage and baggage for you while you other trips and walking distance to bars and cafes.
I love that it is super close to the station and there is a direct passage from Yamagata station to this hotel, so you dont need to go down to the main street. I also like the Yamagata city view from our room
Hotel Castle is 8 minutes walk from Yamagata Station. There are nearby restaurants and convenience stores in the area. The service bath salt was great! There were a lot of selection to choose from!
- Breakfast was a buffet style and had many options. Was one of the better breakfasts we've had at a hotel in Japan.
- Location was very convenient with lots of restaurants & nightlife nearby.
It was a great hotel with a lot of amenities! The staff was kind and were helpful. Check in was easy, and the hotel is near a lot of places which made it easier to sightsee in Yamagata.
Great location, friendly staff, clean, and comfortable hotel! Parking next door for extra fee. Washing machine on site. 30 minutes from Zao Onsen Skiing Resort.
