Set just 30 km from Zao Onsen Ski Resort, Tendo Hotel provides accommodation in Tendo with access to an open-air bath, free bikes, as well as a 24-hour front desk. Each accommodation at the 3-star ryokan has mountain views, and guests can enjoy access to a hot spring bath and a public bath. The ryokan also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. The breakfast spread was good and we enjoyed our 4 mornings of good breakfast. It is Japanese style mixed with some western, there are juices, tea, coffee and desserts. The staff serving breakfast was very polite and neat. What we like best is the private room Japanese dinner which we enjoyed for the 3 nights. Very exclusive and different night, different menu. On our last night our dinner was changed from 2nd floor to the 10 floor which allow us to see the night scene of this little town. I highly recommend this for family or honey moon couple. We booked 3 rooms and requested for our rooms to be next to one another and the hotel helped us with this request. The Onsen in this Ryoken was clean and comfortable both indoor and outdoor. Walking from Tendo station to here is about 15 mins. The room is super comfortable, clean, shower and WC separated, well furnished in Japanese style. If I have a chance, will return.

Boasting garden views, Yamagata The Takinami offers accommodation with balcony, around 32 km from Zao Onsen Ski Resort. There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. Guests also enjoy access to the hot spring bath and beauty services, as well as the public bath and open-air bath. The real magic of Yamagata The Takinami reveals itself at dinnertime. Unlike any other ryokan experience we've had, this one offers a chef’s table-style dinner, where guests from all rooms gather around a central counter in the dining room. At the centre, a team of chefs and service staff work with calm precision, wielding sharp knives, tending to steaming pots, and plating each dish with grace and artistry.

Situated 16 km from Zao Onsen Ski Resort, Comfort Hotel Yamagata offers 3-star accommodation in Yamagata and has free bikes. The property is non-smoking and is located 100 metres from Yamagata Station. Comfort Hotel Yamagata is the ideal location for staying in Yamagata city and exploring the area around - just a short walk from the station and the bus depot. We used it as a base for visiting Yamdera and Mount Zao. There are plenty of restaurants nearby too. It was a very short stay this time (just one night!) so no chance to explore the city itself (which I've done many times on previous trips anyway), but you are close to bus stops to take you into the city centre if you want to head that way. We used the coin op laundry for the first time and it was very efficient. The rooms are the typical smaller Japanese hotel rooms, but absolutely fine for what we needed. Very good value for money. The bus from Sakata dropped us just over the road, and there are frequent buses to other cities e.g. Sendai from the nearby bus station, plus of course Yamagata station is one of the stops for the Tsubasa shinkansen. Very easy access from Tokyo, Sendai etc. by rail.
