Friendly and helpful staff, great hospitality! Room is spacious (traditional Japanese futon style). Private onsen available for booking for free (per room per day), public onsen is also available at almost 24/7. Highly recommend to book at least 1 set of on-site dinner breakfast, local produces used.

Enjoyable stay
Great service. Staff are happy and pleasant. And the translation audio device they use makes communication easier. There is a one-time free-use of a private onsen bath among 5 choices during the entire stay. The public open-air bath within the hotel is also not bad. I got a corner room with a view on the ski slopes and it's spacious Japanese style so I have enjoyed my stay very much. The hotel is right across the bus terminal so getting in from Yamagata train station is very convenient. There is also free shuttle service to the Zao ropeway for skiing/snowboaring or cable car to view the snow monsters. Without ski/snowboard gear, it's actually quite an easy 10-minute walk.

Incredible stay at Gokan no Yu Tsuruya for a ski and onsen vacation. Staff are incredibly friendly, the private and public onsens are phenomenal, and the room was just what I needed to enjoy 5 days in Zao. I'd recommend booking breakfast and dinner ahead if you plan to stay in for dinner. Options around Zao were at times slim, particularly late in the evening. Highly recommend Gokan no Yu Tsuruya to anyone looking for a relaxing way to spend some time.
