Zao onsen is a lovely getaway in the Japanese mountains.
Zao onsen is a lovely getaway in the Japanese mountains. Mostly tailored to skiers and snowboarders though, with the many hills and ski facilities. But it's also a lovely place for a brief visit if you want some relaxation and onsens. We visited mainly for seeing the Zao Snow monsters and relaxing at a nice hotel. Unforuntately the Snow Monsters had already melted when we were there, and only one cablecar worked going up the mountain, so there was a huge line. The town is cozy with a few restaurant options. We did not ski and stayed for two nights which was just the right amount of time, as there's not that much to experience in the town, other than ski, visit onsen and take the cablecar (if it's working properly)

It's good for a few days of hitting the slopes and had a surprising number for eateries compared to some of the other onsen towns. The juhyo (snow monster) is an interesting sight (depending on the weather) especially since you will have to go right to the top of the mountain to see it. It has a night viewing session depending on the season for the juhyo also. And if you're driving, Yamagata town is just a short 30mins drive down the mountain and you'll have more eateries to choose from.EdMalaysia - 10Scored 10

I stayed in Zao Onsen in mid October and had a beautiful time absorbed in the energy of the mountains and blown away by the ‘koyo’ autumn leaves 🧡 In the off season, it proves a serene escape to soak in the onsens, and take in the clean air and stunning views on various hikes. I can only imagine how much fun it would be when covered in snow!

I booked for a group of 3 families.
I booked for a group of 3 families. When I checked in they assumed that the Japanese family is the primary contact. The hotel front refused my ID and address and INSISTED that the Japanese family should be the primary contact and address. This is unacceptable considering that I am the one booking. It caused a lot of confusion and uncomfortable to my group. If you do not want foreigner to book the property then why bother listing it in the booking.com?Reza SurjaJapan - 8.0Scored 8.0

Interesting for its hot springs one can find almost everywhere and its location in a charming mountain are. The little town itself doesn't offer much and is rather boring. Few restaurants that close early at about 3 pm and hardly any shopping facilities. Fortunately, there is at least a small convenience store. The sulphurous smell of the hot springs can be noticed all around the area.GerdGermany - 10Scored 10

Staying at the Christmas Rose Hotel was perfect for hot springs ( onsen ) and also close to convenience store. The owners are very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Free rides to zao hp town and had coupons for the four main hot springs there. Tatami mat flooring and Japanese type hotel. Perfect for relaxing away from major city type hotels. Peaceful time memories. I have videos on youtube also about it. Highly recommended!! Zao Onsen is an amazing place.

- 9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 42 reviewsThe room was very japanese styled and the location is very well centered in Zao Onsen. The hosts were extraordinary. They were kind, very welcoming and cared for all of our needs. They took the time to explain the surroundings (restaurants, onsens, ropeline, etc.), they gave us tickets for the local onsens, offered coffee in the morning and even held our luggage after the checkout for a time. All in all, it was great to meet this kind-hearted family. I would highly recommend staying here.AitorSpain
- From $135.14 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 119 reviewsWe love the meals, services, big rooms and the strategic location to Zao Sky Cable. It is quite a walk to Sanroku Ropeway but the hotel offers pick up and drop off service whenever you want, which is a total plus. Breakfast and Dinner are just marvelous. The facilities are quite old but it is clean and very traditional Japanese. The Onsen is the best in town and it's open 24 hrs.... Overall, we love it and definitely will go back.
PoppyTaiwan - From $179.24 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 291 reviewsEnjoyed our stay at this ryokan. The tourists info center at the bus terminal arranged for our shuttle bus pickup. On arrival, that has an English peaking person who checked us in, explained everything in detail, showed us to our room and answered all our questions. The onsen was very good. The Japanese kaiseki dinner was outstanding as was the breakfast the following morning. The staff were very attentive and helpful.
GeorgeUnited States of America - From $270.28 per night9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 141 reviewsA respectble ryokan that once even entertained the imperial family. If you want to know what traditional Japanese hospitality means, you must certainly go there. The whole place is infused with small of highly acidic mineral water where you are expected to bathe. Be careful - the onsen bath feels pretty hot but you are sure to survive and even enjoy it!MadernaUnited Kingdom
