Staff are incredibly friendly, the private and public onsens are phenomenal, and the room was just what I needed to enjoy 5 days in Zao. I'd recommend booking breakfast and dinner ahead if you plan to stay in for dinner. Options around Zao were at times slim, particularly late in the evening. Highly recommend Gokan no Yu Tsuruya to anyone looking for a relaxing way to spend some time. ##### William H.

A very comfortable room with soft sleep mats, low table and chairs and 2 sitting chairs. We had full board and the meals were exceptional. Very fresh Japanese meals. We loved the outdoor onsen - it was a treat to sit in the hot mineral water while being snowed on. The best part of our stay was the friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way for us - either with hints of where to ski, how to eat meals or general interest in our day. Given we have no Japanese, communication was not difficult. Tsuruya also offers shuttles to the 3 main ski slopes although it is only a 5-10 min walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back next year. ##### Caroline Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ナオキ Jan 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities This traditional Japanese hotel is located right in front of the bus stop from Yamagata station.

Easy to get to as it is directly across from the bus station. Can walk to the ski slopes, which is about five minutes away. Make sure to include breakfast and dinner, as they are amazing served in the room. each room also gets an hour in the private onsen, which is amazing. There is also a public Hot Springs available anytime. English is limited, but the staff are super friendly attentive, and get things done. Ski storage and the set up is perfect to arrive in the morning, Ski, while your room gets ready and then also Ski after you check out. They sell discounted tickets which saves 1100 yen (cash only). ![breakfast set](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/58774629C4941DDE9DD3EE56D08EC52489A5F1701706241506434.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dinner set](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AC4DDC1EC214BA6CEE1DA7808515784FB3ABAAB91706241506468.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from 610](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B2F7695F729305D70F84F3B6879D5B5DC26A43971706241507522.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### emery Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Enjoyable stay Great service. Staff are happy and pleasant. And the translation audio device they use makes communication easier. There is a one-time free-use of a private onsen bath among 5 choices during the entire stay. The public open-air bath within the hotel is also not bad. I got a corner room with a view on the ski slopes and it's spacious Japanese style so I have enjoyed my stay very much. The hotel is right across the bus terminal so getting in from Yamagata train station is very convenient. There is also free shuttle service to the Zao ropeway for skiing/snowboaring or cable car to view the snow monsters. Without ski/snowboard gear, it's actually quite an easy 10-minute walk. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nobuaki Sep 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 建物自体は大分古いのですが、数年前にリフォームされたとのこと。部屋はとても清潔で快適でした。 ##### Nobuaki Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### ??
