Hotele z: Gym w Yamagata Prefecture, Japan

The hotel exceeded all the expectations! Would definitely recommend staying here if you are in Yamagata. The personnel is very polite, very helpful, and tries to make sure you have a pleasant stay. The hotel is a new building I would say, very close to the station. There is a 7/11 store on the 1st floor which is very convenient. The room is very spacious, has everything you might need. Also you can take all the necessary items such as face creams, toners, lotions, hair oils, toothbrushes, hair ties, teas, coffees etc. at the front desk. Absolutely wonderful experience!

My biggest mistake of this trip to Yamagata is to book this hotel. It's a good hotel but it's in the middle of nowhere. You will want to stay around the city of Yamagata province which is also called Yamagata city just so you can get to famous tourist spots. However this is 4 hours away from all of these. I had to book another hotel so I can stay 1 day in the city when I wanted to visit these places and the traveling time just completely made me exhausted. It took like 1 day to go to a place and 1 day to go back. It was so terrible, I was crying. This place is closed to Shonai airport not Yamagata airport so I also had to book another flight from Shonai. I wasted so much money for transportation. It was such a terrible experience. However the hotel is incredibly beautiful with smart design in everything. I loved the onsen very much. If it was just a vacation/restcation for relaxing purpose or isolate yourself from the human word, it's the best choice for you. Since its in the middle of the endless rice field, there is nothing to eat except for paying very high price to eat at the hotel's restaurant. And the food was just okay. The beauty of this hotel was like a trap. Its like I was blind from its beauty and couldn't see all other disavantages.

Locates near the center of Yonezawa city so it is convenient to go everywhere with under 20mins by walk. Receptionists are friendly and supportive and they can speak a little English so it is fine for foreigner travel. The bathroom is smaller than expected but it is quite enough.

設施比較懷舊。員工服務很好。我晚了40分鐘check in，還是好熱情地招待我並上菜。服務時看我不會日文，細心用translate翻譯成了英文。溫泉非常舒服，客人很少地方很夠，非常寫意。裡面挺多有意思的小活動，但我最想用的都休止了或沒提供，包括岩盤浴和咖啡機。小後花院有點意思但太小了。不過櫻花開始開了，很開心。

Great hotel with great location to explore the shirotsuzuji park and shrine.
