Guest Reviews

• NAOKI (8/5): 蔵王温泉にいけて美味しいご飯も食べれて高見屋グループの湯巡りもできて最高でした - 割安で中心地にありご飯も美味しくとても良かったです 仕方がない事ですが、浴場施設の古さは否めませんでした。
• 諒太 (8/5): -
• Megumi (10/5): 最高の温泉 - ペット同伴で食事もOKでしたので、さみしい思いをさせずに済みました。
• 大村 (8/5): - お風呂は熱く良いです✨ 換気扇の老朽取替が必要です✨
• Marc (10/5): -
• Lerchai (9/5): -
• ado_chen (10/5): - 非常日式的風格 老闆娘很親切 其他房客幾乎都是日本人 滑雪後泡溫泉非常舒服 價格實惠 洗衣機只有一台，不太夠用
• studio (6/5): 雰囲気があって良い - 温泉街の中で風情があった。 階段しかなかったのでにも運びが大変
• Leo (9/5): -
• Carlandrea (7/5): Rustic ryokan. - The owner is really nice and helpful. The location is super, right in "historic road" and not too far away from the lifts. The traditional style breakfast was also really nice. We also really like the Onsen tour, where you have a bath at partner's facilities. For the daily fare, we expected facilities a bit more up to date.
• Kyoko (9/5): 久しぶりの実家気分で、ひとりのんびりデトックス - 立地がよく、拠点として最高。お湯も最高。周辺をのんびり歩いて楽しめた。食事がたっぷりで美味しい、誠実で親切なスタッフの方ばかりでした。一人旅でも安心でした。 特にありません。共用トイレに抵抗はありましたが、清潔で混雑することもなく、全然平気でした。強いて言えば、建物に歴史があるので、寝ている時に他の部屋のドアの開け閉めの音が少し気になりました。
• TZUHAO (8/5): - 櫃檯英文流利 早晚膳好吃
• YI XUAN (9/5): - 可以在飯店或去lucent高見屋泡湯
• Brett (8/5): -
• Heidi (9/5): A charming and traditional place to stay and enjoy the lovely village of Zao Onsen! - Yoshidaya is a charming, traditional and peaceful family run ryokan full of character and the most happiest and friendliest staff! The Japanese breakfast was nutritious and delicious! Whilst there may be fancier places to stay, Yoshidaya is a great way to enjoy the lovely village of Zao Onsen in a quaint 350 year old ryokan full of history and authenticity. Yoshidaya's onsen had such healing water and was great for early morning and late night dips and it was an extra bonus to enjoy 6 other hotels onsens too that are partnered with Yoshidaya. I was sad as we left it too late to make a reservation and couldn't get in to dinner as they were fully booked so make sure you book in early and don't miss out too!
• Seiya (6/5): -
• Lee (9/5): A great location with friendly and welcoming staff - Great location with welcoming staff and a friendly atmosphere The property is aged and in need of repairs
• Damian (9/5): What a treasure - Yoshidaya was very authentic. Japanese rooms and bedding. Onsen on-site,min other hotels and public ones nearby a true blessing. Fantastic Japanese breakfasts. Really helpful owner and staff who were very good with us non-Japanese speakers. Really really enjoyed this stay Be prepared for the stairs as they are steep and a lot of them. Generally the place could do with some updating and re-freshing but that did add to the charm. Once again Google Maps and the Booking.com sites had us walking up and down the street trying to locate.
• Martina (10/5): - Wir wurden freundlich begrüßt und bekam gleich eine ausführliche Erklärung welche Onsen wir gratis nutzen können, wie das Skigebiet aufgebaut ist und mit welchen Liften man wo hin kommt, sowie die Möglichkeit beim Hotel vergünstigte Skipässe zu kaufen. Das Hotel hat auch einen beheizten Abstellraum für Snowboard, Schuhe, Handschuhe, Jacken und so weiter. Das leckere Frühstück war im japanischen Stil mit unter anderem Fisch, weich gekochtem Ei und warmen Reis. Der Service der Hotelbetreibenden war sehr zuvorkommend. Die Wände waren recht dünn. Auch wenn die Geräte sehr bemüht waren, leise zu sein, konnte man öfter Stimmen oder Bewegungen aus anderen Räumen hören.

• arthur (5/5): - l'emplacement et le personnel de l'établissement étaient très bons. merci à la personne de l'accueil qui a pris le temps pour nous indiquer l'emplacement des onsen, les restaurants, toujours très aimable et professionnel. l'arrivée est flexible et la possibilité de disposer d'une salle de séchage des équipements de skis est d'un grand confort. idéal pour les amateurs de skis J'ai trouvé les chambres très bruyantes, notamment à cause des autres invités bruyants mais également la très faible séparation des chambres avec le reste de l'étage et l'absence d’insonorisation. Le petit déjeuner n'était pas particulièrement satisfaisant pour le prix
• KuenYuan (8/5): -
• Yi Ching (3/5): 一次體驗令人不滿意 - 溫泉♨️很不錯 房價很貴，卻沒有晚餐，早餐時間也很晚，7:30要趕車離開根本吃不到，CP值很差
• David (9/5): Great location with helpful and friendly staff. - Great location and it is link to 6 other hotels so you can try out their onsen facilities free of charge. The owner was incredibly helpful and friendly. Better pillows but that’s a personal preference.
• Rodney (8/5): -
• Jakkaphan (4/5): - สถานที่ตั้ง ห้องพักปิดไม่สนิท
• yoko (6/5): - スタッフさんがとても親切で、山の状況とか教えてくれた。テレビも、壊れていたのを直ぐに取り換えてくれた。食事のスタッフさんもよく働いていた。昔ながらの良きしごとぶり。 窓の結露がひどく、ベランダがびしょびしょになっていた。知らずにそこに立ち、靴下がぬれてしまった。部屋は寒い。雪国だから仕方ないかもしれないが、、壁や畳など新しくしているが、建物の老朽化は否めない、、。

• WEI HSUAN (9/5): -
• Katalyna (9/5): Beautiful place in a gorgeous town with lots of great features. - Food was amazing and staff was very kind. The room was clean and bigger than I expected. Since it was July, it was a little hot in the room. The bed and pillow were quite hard.
• Hiromi (8/5): -
• YOUETSU (5/5): - 旅館の皆さんの対応がとても親切で素敵でした
• Okuyama (6/5): - 建物は古くなってますが、若い頃の時代を思い起こしながら宿泊させてもらいました。 部屋の暖房がガスの温風暖房だったでしょうか。寝ている間も設定温度を低くして動かしましたが、途中でトラブルでも起きないか心配でした。夜間に点いたり止まったりの音が気になりましたが、何事もなくよかったですね。
• Fumiya (8/5): -
• 俊承 (10/5): -
• sandra (10/5): Nous avons adorer notre sejeour dans cet hôtel traditionnel - Le service est impeccable Le personnel est aux petits soins Tout était authentique et généreux Le côté un peu désuet des chambres
• LIHUA (9/5): 很親切 - 早餐好吃 溫泉很棒 沒注意到
• Soeda (10/5): -
• Kayo (8/5): 女将さんが明るくて親切で楽しい - 朝ごはんがとても美味しかった。和食で素朴だけど丁寧なお味でした。コーヒーも美味しいドリップコーヒーが準備してあって、好きなタイミングでセルフで淹れられました。 お風呂はとても熱かったけど、白濁した温泉が疲れをとってくれるようで素晴らしいひとときでした。 古い建物を大切にして上手く使ってあるとは思いますが、出来ればトイレは部屋にあると嬉しいです。
• Michelle (10/5): Warm, convenient, and reasonable - Super charming small ryokan in great location from the bus terminal (5 min walk) as well as all the onsens. The staff were so kind and amazing. Chigusa at the front desk is easy to communicate as her English is very good and she was so helpful in guiding me through the map of all the onsens. The cleaning staff also so warm. Also the onsen is 24-hrs so that was great for me because I arrived around 8pm. Loved the breakfast and I was shocked when a whole rice cooker was placed on the table just for me. It was a great first time experience to Zao Onsen area and I hope I can find a way to come back again. Not applicable

• Yukari (5/5): 良い温泉 - お湯が良い スタッフが親切で丁寧 カーテンにカメムシがいた
• 山口 (5/5): - 温泉が最高。 犬同伴の部屋の横だったので少し気になった。せめて離れた部屋であって欲しかった。
• 大村 (8/5): - 温泉施設の湯量と温度が最適です✨
• CHIE (10/5): - 温泉のお湯はよかったです

• MOMOKA (8/5): -
• Takahiro (8/5): 蔵王登山と温泉旅 - 温泉が源泉かけ流し 昭和レトロな温泉宿 湯巡りサービス有り 朝食付きで安い!
• Dirk (9/5): Traditionelles Onsen-Ryokan in guter Lage. - Tolle Lage mitten im Ort. Öffentliche Bäder in Laufnähe, auch die Seilbahnen sind schnell erreichbar. Gutes Essen, Besitzerin spricht gut Englisch, das Personal im Speiseraum etwas weniger, aber auch gut genug. Es gibt viele Tipps zu möglichen Unternehmungen. Neben dem hauseigenen Bad (24 Stunden geöffnet), bekommt man für mehrere öffentliche Bäder kostenlose Karten, sowie ermäßigte für das große Freiluft-Bad. (Ein wenig außerhalb gelegen, aber lohnt sich, im Winter geschlossen)
• 聡 (9/5): 大変丁寧で温かい対応をしてくださいました。次回も利用したいです。 - スタッフさんの対応 朝食会場の床の清潔感
• 丹羽 (9/5): - 温泉 トイレ シャンプーほか良品質 新しい建物でなはないので、エレベーターはなく、階段で3階まで移動した。
• Lindsay (9/5): Beautiful, clean room and great location. - The breakfast was a delicious traditional Japanese style meal. The portions provided were very filling! The room was beautiful and more spacious than expected. We had an amazing view. The location is perfect right in town and near onsens. Staff were all absolutely amazing! The only problem we encountered during our whole stay was that the wifi didn't quite travel to our room at the very end of the top floor. It was not reliable and could only be connected to sometimes. Also the second night of our stay we were unable to get hit water in the public shower even after waiting.
• Ho (8/5): Very good -
• Jun (8/5): Very good -
• スピさん (2/5): Won't be back - Location. Staff were courteous and friendly. Unfortunately that doesn't make up for decades of use with zero renovations. Old, uncomfortable, drafty, unclean, stinky. A property like this in Australia would go bust within 1 season. Watch out for "5 *" reviews from certain countries, I suppose perhaps the lower standards there make this accommodation acceptable.
• Brad (8/5): We had a great stay at Yoshidaya. Thanks so much to Chigusa for all of her help, she really went out of her way to help -
• Chih (9/5): Superb - Good staff and environment
• Tim (7/5): Good -
• Chawanrut (10/5): Good english communication - Good location, professional service and staff can use english very well None
• John (9/5): Superb - Well maintained and run traditional Japanese Ryokan. Tatami room with attached bathroom. Onsen in the hotel. Breakfast was great (traditional Japanese), and dinner was great. Location very convenient for ski lifts and for dinner and drinks in the evening. 10 minutes walk to Lawson (as if that matters) 15 minutes walk to the #1 Gondola
• Alexandre (4/5): Disappointing -
• John (8/5): Great traditional accommodation in mountain ski resort. - Great location in village near to all facilities and walkable from bus station. Nice Onsen. Lady host was very helpful and even booked our onward bus for us. Nothing really. Traditional beds and outside room toilets can be a little hard but that’s what you expect.
• Michael (1/5): Excruciating painful/uncomforatble given the cost of accommodation. - In center of old town. Uncared for, old and broken down, breakfast horrible, coffee hazelnut (why?), noisy, run down
• 洪 (9/5): Good :) - Lovely cosy ryokan
• Isabella (9/5): Superb -
• Nicolas (8/5): Perfect location and affordable traditional accommodation with fluent speaking host! - Ideal location in Zao Onsen, just a few minutes walk to the slopes with the fastest access to the best slopes from my point of view. A few good restaurants around, varying from Sushi, traditional, gourmet, pizza, lamb barbecue, ... The traditional breakfast was so healthy! Our host' level of English was excellent which is an enormous plus in getting guidance how to get around. Very functional Onsen to enjoy after a long day of skiing. Maybe consider offering dinner in the future?
• Mei (6/5): Pleasant - Staff are friendly and helpful The ryokan is very old and the room is so cold. No washing basin in the room.
• Yuxiang (9/5): Great stay. Recommended! - - I’ve stayed in many Japanese hotels (ryokans) and the service was all good. But this one is exceptional. The staff were very helpful, welcoming and efficient. They also spoke English well. - Great dinner options with very reasonable price. - Good location. With a small onsen. - Building is really old. You can hear other people sometimes.
• Ma (9/5): Superb -
