Top Zao Bodaira Highlands Hotel Reviews

Richmond Hotel Yamagata Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter and I have stayed at this hotel every summer 5 to 7 days past 12 years. We've stayed at corner queen and two double beds rooms. The rooms are not large, but modern, clean, and functional. The staff are good and helpful. The breakfast buffet features local dishes. It's excellent. The kitchen staff are good. The dining room is opened for free drinks, ice cream, and this year, for night time soba. There are larger rooms, which are great for families. There are always many people on their business trips. Minutes by walk to a large supermarket, seven eleven, Yamagata train station, and other places. It's more expensive than other hotels around the area."

Hotel Metropolitan Yamagata

10/10 Excellent

"Simple. Easy. Convenient. Love the convenience of being right next to Yamagata station. Self check in and check out are convenient and easy to manage. Friendly and helpful staff. Always carry a big smile when answering my questions. Thank you for a pleasant stay."

"Had no ac due to the time of year we jut opened windows to allow air flow. Room was super clean definitely exceeded our expectations. "

Zao Onsen Zao Shiki No Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"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. "

Yamagata Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and it was very clean"

Hayamakan

10/10 Excellent

"Staying here was a great experience. Relaxing in our private onsen while looking out at the mountain and city was stunning. Our other favorite part was the dinner - our server was so amazing with us and compliments to the chef for preparing the delicious food. As foreigners, it was our first time trying some of these foods, and we enjoyed most of it. Thank you!"
