Set in Zao Onsen in the Yamagata region, with Zao Onsen Ski Resort nearby, Takasagoya Ryokan features accommodation with access to a public bath. This 3-star ryokan offers luggage storage space and a housekeeping service. The ryokan offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. The hotel is equipped with everything you would want in a ski town (i.e., dry room, well-heated housing and cozy rooms). I had the best sleep in a long time after a day of snowboarding and a hot spring (bonus: the bath house is located only a few steps away). But the best of all, the hospitality of the the entire owner family was exceptional and made the stay so special. I felt so welcomed and at home, - reminded me of when I used to visit my grandparents as a child.

With Zao Onsen Ski Resort reachable in 3.1 km, Forest Inn Sangoro offers accommodation, a restaurant, a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. Free WiFi is featured throughout the property.

Skiing and cycling can be enjoyed nearby, while a bicycle rental service and ski-to-door access are also available on site. I stayed in autumn, and the location was divine; surrounded by trees with yellow and orange leaves, I enjoyed my morning coffee by the fire with a view of the lake. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and hospitable - I was well looked after. I will definitely be back for another beautiful stay!
