Nice village style ski resort.
Nice village style ski resort. Not busy except for the weekend, which ended up a long weekend as it was the Emperor's birthday on the monday. Always good to check public holidays when going to a ski resort and arrive on a Sunday afternoon.Guest review byChristianAustralia - 8.0
Lots of snow during our stay in December. Great skiing.
Lots of snow during our stay in December. Great skiing. Ideally stay around ski lifts so its easier to get to the lifts.. Just be aware to choose a sunny day to take the ski lifts to view the Snow Monster! Takes around more than 1 hour to get on the ski lifts. Many tourist and queue is long. You wont be able to see much if the weather is bad. Never short of snow in Zao Onsen. Nice little village with Lawsons, Family Marts to get your usual Japanese stuff. Limited restaurants but can get by with simple meals. If you want to get to Yamagata City its only 30 mins away by taxi. You have a choice if you want more varieties.Guest review byMengMalaysia - 8.0
In the summer, Zao is very quiet during weekdays.
In the summer, Zao is very quiet during weekdays. It rains almost every day, so it's advisable to pack quick-dry clothes and sturdy shoes for walking uphill and downhill. If you prefer fruits and vegetables, make sure to bring some with you, as there's no fresh market in town and the only local convenience store doesn't offer many healthy choices. If you happen to encounter a serow, don't make the mistake we did by running away thinking it was a hyena—quite silly of us!Guest review byNANTANAThailand - 8.0
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)Guest review byCamillaDenmark - 10.0

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.Guest review byEdMalaysia - 10.0

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!Guest review byTamsynAustralia

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.7Good - What previous guests thought, 85 reviewsYoshidaya Ryokan is a beautifully presented traditional ryokan. Its right in the middle of the old part of Zao Onsen surrounded by historic buildings. This is a traditional Ryokan so be prepared to walk up stairs and use shared facilities. The rooms are very warm and comfortable and the Ryokan facilities are well presented and clean. The Hot Spring bath was wonderful! I will be staying at Yoshidaya again!Guest review bytimothy_kenyonAustralia
- From $122.08 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.3Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 132 reviewsLocated in the middle of the mountain with good atmosphere and vibes. Real ski-in / ski-out, the chair lift is literally next to the hotel. Rental gears are good quality and cheaper. It’s easy to arrange rental and return gears if you provide info beforehand. Breakfast is great. Rest area is huge in quiet hours.Guest review byNovia99999Taiwan
