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.
A stunning view of the city, the moon, the stars, and the distant mountains, from the hotel's window! The location is very central buses, the train station, taxis, restaurants, and shops are all very close at hand. The staff were always willing to help. Plenty of amenities are left out for bathroom necessities. The building is very quiet which enhances the relaxation of the stay. Several speedy lifts give easy access to the rooms and the shops. Very nice!
The hostel staff Hayado San is very helpful, friendly, cheerful and handsome, he is the soul of the hostel. He was helping everything, booking restaurants, taxi, and chatting with us by google translation. The restaurant at the hostel is very good especially the Yamagat beef set. Location is very convenience; it is just opposed to the cable car station. Restaurants are nearby. Hostel provided coupons for Onsen at a nearby nice hotel.
Breakfast was good. Hope could be improved with different varieties everyday. The location just beside Yamagata station. Love how helpful the hotel staff is, he was trying hard to explain in English, and keep helping us during the stay. I love how they greet us everytime we passby the lobby lift. Thank you very much for making us warm!
I enjoyed the public bath, the convenience store on site. The location and the free parking was a real blessing. Nice city, friendly people, the hotel is a bit old but the room was larger than the room you get in more modern hotel. Awesome for people who enjoy Showa still accommodations.I would definitely stay rhere again
Great host, young and helpful. Plus listening to their own path breaking story was so much refreshing. Breakfast was simply awesome! After hearing from me that I like Japanese food a lot but do not cook at home, next morning they served me a delicious and unique Washoku breakfast. So much more value for the money you pay.
Good location from Yamagata Station. 8 minutes walk from East Exit. Good value with substantial Western or Japanese breakfast provided. Next to convenient store 7-11 and a very good BBQ beef restaurant. The room has a massage armchair to soothe tired muscles.
Couldn’t be more convenient, hotel entrance is inside the train station! Great access to Zao Onsen by bus, yamadera by train, and many shops and restaurants around the train station. Decent size room for Japan and high quality facilities. Recommended!
Nice and cheap hotel to stay in. For a very cheap price hotel with buffet breakfast in Yamagata is very rare. So, this is one of the beat hotels to stay in Yamagata station. near by convenience stores and restaurants.
I love that it is super close to the station and there is a direct passage from Yamagata station to this hotel, so you dont need to go down to the main street. I also like the Yamagata city view from our room
U can literally ski into the hotel :)
Friendly staff and good value for it's location
And this slope is the better slope was the ropeway and lifts are way faster than the main ropeway to the Juhyo station
Very nice hotel, good rooms. Staff extremely kind and helpful, with possibility to find someone in the team speaking english. Possibility to find food for western breakfast, not only japanese style.
Hotel Castle is 8 minutes walk from Yamagata Station. There are nearby restaurants and convenience stores in the area. The service bath salt was great! There were a lot of selection to choose from!
The hotel gave us two options for the breakfast: Western-style or Japanese-style. Since we are a group of 5, we had a chance to try both options. The food is delicious and well-prepared.
Perfect location for access to the city centre.
Hotel looked a bit dated but you couldn’t find fault: comfortable bed, amenities, good bathroom, tv, slippers, yukata,….
Great location close to Yamagata Station and other restaurants and bars. The breakfast was good and the hotel was next to a Family Mart. Great value for money!
comfy 3 star hotel with friendly staff, warm heated accommodation during winter, plus near the slope, dining places within 1 min walk, enjoyed our stay
