Family hotels and homes in Zao Onsen

Great location on mountain, food was really good, breakfast was different every day. Had dinner there as well it was nice. Rooms are small but expected.

Amazing breakfast and dinner and just overall feel

Like it very much and Osen very nice, natural~ relax and my friend also like it very much.. highly recommended.. got free shuttle bus..

free onsen. very close to ski rental shop and snowboarding instructor. fairly close to the ski ropes and the gondola to see the snow monster. has an equipment room to store your ski / snowboarding gears. nice authentic dinner and breakfast provided by the hotel.

It is one of the best places I have stayed at in my long life. It felt like home as soon as I stepped in. I left with regret and wished I could stay longer. Onsen power. Sober, airy style throughout, matching the pristine surrounding forests. Spacious rooms to sit, look within and finally rest. The common area is diverse. If I had been travelling with friends, I would have played babyfoot in armchair, or ping pong. The onsen is out of this world. Rejuvenation. You are not bothered by anything or anyone and yet you feel cared for.

We have been staying at Le verr Zao for 3 nights. Before we leave the hotel, we decided to paint a kokeshi for Kawazaki San ( the owner of the hotel). We stayed 3 nights at #LeVertZao. Before we left the hotel, we decided to send the Kawasaki hotel owner to draw a kokeshi #Kokeshi, thank her and the team for their attentive service these days. As mentioned earlier, the entire ski town hotels, restaurants and ski resorts are not yet fully open. However, we were lucky enough to book a stay at #LeVertZao. She made the kids feel like they were back at Grandma's house for the holidays. Lovely! She's well connected in this town too... On the second day of this trip we needed a coach and she managed to help us to find one at a much cheaper cost than what I had previously booked. This hotel is equipped with a ski rental service. I have to say that the equipment rental fee is much cheaper than other places. The owner helped us adjust the Ski Boots, and the right fitting fits perfectly. This ski trip was less frustrating than our previous experiences in Hakuba. The ski equipment is also new. We only book the breakfast set, and his breakfast doesn't feel boring at all, and they served a variety of breakfasts every day. We also met Khadka from Nepal who is also a designer and he speaks good English and Japanese. He was very attentive to our requests and activities arrangements. If you are planning a trip here and want to ease all the hassles. I would definitely recommend you this hotel to plan your trip and activities with them, hopefully it eases your brain😜 Hotel equipment: 1. Washing machine self service (free) 2. Shuttle bus services 3. In door onsen 4. Ski equipment renting services 5. Room setting ryokan / western style

Good food and good view. Value for money and they have a cute dog! Near the ski area. Very friendly staff who can speak good English so no communication issues

Location is convenient for ski enthusiasts, onsen was very comfortable, and room was very comfortable and spacious for family stay. Can see the lift right from the window of the hotel room.

Extremely cute place run by the sweetest Taiwanese couple. They speak multiple languages - Japanese, Chinese and English. They were also super helpful with providing us with all of the necessary information, ensuring that we were well taken care of for breakfast (amazing with proper coffee) and transport. The place was so warm and cozy with heated floors in the rooms which is a great plus for us who don’t do well with the cold.

Good location to visit Lake Okama and to experience lovely outdoor Onsen in the nearby village. However the top reason to stay here is the wonderfully friendly owners and the beautiful food served for both dinner and breakfast. Simply lovely, helpful people. A fantastic experience not to be missed
