Room is quite spacious, enough space to walk around and lay out our luggage. Ample electric sockets, and good WiFi. Furniture a bit dated but kept clean. We got a room on its top floor with a great view. Wasn't that many dishes for it buffet breakfast, possibly due to the lack of guests, but still it's good enough. Hotel staff are extremely courteous, be it at the reception, or inside the restaurant. There's a Mitsukoshi mall next to the hotel, with a supermarket and drug store. It's about 10 min's leisurely walk from Yamagata Station, and in between you'll pass by some restaurants and convenience stores. Not really that close to the station, but the room rate is generally cheaper that some others around.

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 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 😂
Breakfast was great, it is a traditional japanese buffet. Also the staff was really helpful and kind, some of them also spoke english. We really enjoyed the finnish sauna and the onsen. The relax lounge with free coffee and water was something special, as well as the comfy homesuites you get. Something really funny was the waiter roboter which served the food, but you can always call a human waiter.
I would reccomend this hotel and will definitely come back.
I spent one night here and would have loved to stay longer. Hide-san created a little paradise in his house. As a solo traveller or couple, if you are looking for a social/local experience with long nights of talking and sharing with the other guests, this is the perfect place. Home-cooked dinner based on donation was the best food I've had in Japan so far.
The staff was very helpful. They assisted in filling out the forms we needed to use the takyubin transport service to send luggage to a future accommodation.
We were given a space , just off the main lobby area where we were able to assemble our bicycles.
The breakfast buffet, both Japanese and Western, was varied and delicious.
Very close to Yamagata station and excellent value for money. In the reception room floor there was a variety of shampoos and shower gels to borrow and other toiletries such as toothbrushes to take. We enjoyed the Japanese style breakfast and the massage chairs were a pleasant surprise.
We was here in December but in the room was comfortable warm!
Good destination - in the center of the city with payment parking place.
Cozy restaurant on the top floor with beautiful view.
In bathroom there was all important things.
I have nice memory about Yamagata city))
Great location, just a couple of minutes walk from Yamagata station. There are plenty of food options around the hotel. If you are renting a car like we did, Toyota Car Rental is diagonally across the road. The staff are very friendly.
It's well equipped with the things that you need. Of course not readily available in the room but at request you may even borrow a bicycle! The staff are also friendly and super helpful, people of Yamagata are angelic.
Easy access from Yamagata station
Helpful staff let us store baggage on early arrival before checkin
Decent size room for Japan
Nice city and mountain view from the room
Helpful information on local restaurants
Good location, responsive staff. Asked for and received a second pillow, but housekeeping took it away, so had to ask again. Big breakfast buffet with mostly Japanese options.
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.
