"We stayed at Oohira hotel in October to use it as a base for hiking. It is perfectly located, near the top end of Zao Onsen, right next to the base of the mountain and the big Zao outdoor onsen. We found it with no issues, and the hotel will pick you up from the bus station if you call in advance. The main thing to stand out for us at Oohira was the staff, who were really excellent throughout. They even spoke some English which was surprising and welcome!

"The privacy and space was well liked. The bathroom was upgraded and very pleasant. . Food was basic but good quality."

"Rug was grubby looking, this was the only place where we did not want to walk around barefoot and used slippers in the room. Really didn't like the fabric toilet seat cover. Onsen was small. Checkout at 9 am too early!"

"The staff was great. Onsen was great and available. Food was excellent. "

"スタッフの対応が何より良かったです。夕食ギリギリにチェックインしたにも関わらず、優しい笑顔でレストランに迎えてくだいました。また、カメ虫をガムテープで速やかに採集して下さいました。おかげさまで安心して休めました。ありがとうございました。"

"I really adored this place, and it was very conveniently located for day trips into Ginzan Onsen. The room was clean and affordable and in exchange for environmentally clean services we were given free beer or chuhai and breakfast vouchers. The hotel also has a nice public bath which worked wonders after a day walking in the cold. And honestly the chains sheep mascot was really cute; this place was just very charming for a place so far out in Japan. I will stay here the next chance I get."
