There are several restaurants about 10 mins' walk away. The Sunrise gelande is also within 5 mins' walk. The room was spacious and the view of the town was quite pretty. Aside from the main baths, there are 5 private outdoor baths (露天風呂, two in the main wing and three in the east wing), which are on a free reservation basis between ~3 PM and ~9 PM, so if you check in late like we did, you might have to wait till 9 PM to go to one of those. However, it was great to enjoy them as a couple - we tried two of them, and might be back to cover the rest.

Great baths after long day of skiing. Staff were very helpful and attentive to needs. Shuttle service provided was very helpful (you will need them unless you like walking up hills). We were offered a free shuttle back to Yamagata so that was very helpful. Rooms were warm and spacious and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay.

“Great staff, beautiful onsens.”

The staff were so helpful and kind. The onsens were amazing. Shuttle bus from the bus terminal and Yamagata station. Slopes close by.

“Hotel in beautiful Zao Onsen”

We had a great stay at Mogamitakayu Zenshichinoyu Ohira. Lots of onsens and the breakfast a mix of Japanese and western food. The hotel provided us with discount vouchers for ski hire and offered a shuttle service. Zao Onsen is a beautiful resort and the hotel was a short walk from the bottom of onsen no. 4 quad.

“A place we’d love to comeback again”

Close to the property. Love the private onsen, the host even provides the local milk to the customer to enjoy after soaking in the hot spring. Also the shuttle bus service is pretty handy.

“Great private Onsen”

A lot of private Onsen

“Fabulous”

The english-spoken staff is helpful, as well as other staffs were nice. The private onsens are exceptional. There are 7 types of private onsens, and 5 of them are absolutely FREE! We love the stunning scenic view from both hotel area and also from private onsen. There was a bottle of delicious milk provided as after-bath service. The hotel also provide a ride to(and from) bus terminal and ropeways, as well as ropeway's discount voucher. The location is on the steep hill, good exercise if you get there by walking.

“Will definitely visit again”

Extremely lovely and cosy place to stay, friendly staff and excellent service. No drama staying at the hot spring, and it is the genuine hot spring.

“Love onsen here”

Outdoor onsens are very nice. Best private onsen

The breakfast is overall so so. The staffs are nice and try to help.

“good”

onsen

Everything. Hundred million dollars view from gorgeous private onsens. Superb breakfast, and the best of all the staffs who despite the language barrier, try their best to assist you in every way. Will definitely come back next year.

“One of the staff was super helpful and made our stay great despite the inclement weather due to snow storm”
