Daiwa Roynet Hotel Yamagata-ekimae
Nice new hotel with spacious room and nice bathroom. It is a block from the train station and bus terminal so it is easy to explore the regions such as Zao Onsen and Yamadera. The hotel restaurant is one of the best serving famous local beef and hotel guests have a decent discount. Highly recommended ...

Spacious studio apartment in the city center Maximum 6 people 1 Qsize bed 4 sofa beds / Yamagata Yamagata
It was very comfortable and in a convenient location. We had everything we needed for cooking except a chopping knife. We ended up buying a knife, which we are taking home with us. We appreciated how clean it was, also that we could use the washing machine. Thank you!
