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.

An amazing hotel that I learned about from a friend. Easy to get to as it is directly across from the bus station. Can walk to the ski slopes, which is about five minutes away. Make sure to include breakfast and dinner, as they are amazing served in the room. each room also gets an hour in the private onsen, which is amazing. There is also a public Hot Springs available anytime. English is limited, but the staff are super friendly attentive, and get things done. Ski storage and the set up is perfect to arrive in the morning, Ski, while your room gets ready and then also Ski after you check out. They sell discounted tickets which saves 1100 yen (cash only).

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.

A magical one night stay.
We had a great stay at this Ryokan - An adult plus two teenagers. very comfortable and the private onsen are a plus. The only unfortunate part was that they were not serving dinner the day we stayed, which meant needing to look elsewhere - slim pickings in Zao this time of year.

The staff were amazing! Discounted lift tickets if you stay here! And free private onsen once per day, but also free access to the public Onsen! Free shuttle to and from the lifts but also a very short walk if you miss it of want to walk.

The hotel is located right next to the town bus stop, making it very easy if you are traveling by bus. Breakfast was good and plenty and services were great, everyone is capable and helpful. The building itself is a bit old but clean. Easy access to the ski resort as well.

We love this place, friendly staff, we went back to the hotel to rest before dinner and the staff brought us apples as refreshments, great location (across the street from the bus station), lovely onsen, outdoor, indoor or private. I am not a big fan of public onsen, so the private one is perfect. We will definitely stay here next time.
