Daichan Farm Guest House, hotel in Asahi-machi

Located 39 km from Zao Onsen Ski Resort, Daichan Farm Guest House offers 2-star accommodation in Asahi-machi and features free bikes, a garden and a shared lounge.

A very unique experience. A bit like B&B in Europe. It is a very good way to see a real Japanese home. Extremely quiet. Welcoming owners and as a former English teacher it's easy to ask questions and communicate. Would come back for sure with family. Rafting and wine tasting with 5 kilometres away.

Snowfall Meteor 飛雪流星, hotel in Kaminoyama

Featuring a garden, Snowfall Meteor 飛雪流星 is located in Kaminoyama in the Yamagata region, 2.2 km from Zao Onsen Ski Resort. The guest house features family rooms.

This is truly the best place to stay!!! The most amazing hosts, fabulous big breakfast and nothing is ever too much trouble - they are so kind! They picked us up from the bus stop, took us to hire our ski gear, sorted our ski passes and dropped us at the slopes and picked us up! Their hospitality is the best in Japan! The accommodation is sooo cosy and warm! The beds are really comfortable and we loved everything about our stay! You can not find better hosts! It is our second time staying here and we will definitely be back again! Highly recommend staying here!

    Absolutely loved my stay at Guesthouse Mintaro Hut! The home is very cozy and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. My favorite part was gathering for a delicious dinner every night cooked by the owner, Hide-san and their staff and getting to bond together over good food and drinks. The facilities are always clean and the rooms are spacious and cozy. Will definitely come back one day!

    Great location, from the train station just turn right and the hotel entrance is a few steps away. Rooms are quiet even though trains are nearby. Adequate amenities in the room.

    Mintaro Guesthouse offers an experience which cannot easily be found! After my arrival I was asked to attend dinner with the host, staff and other guests to enjoy food and drinks. The dinner was donation-based and featured a variety of delicious food and some guests even pitched in and would prepare a special dish or offer some top quality sake. I had a wonderful time talking and eating with everyone. It was like being part of a family!

    I had the most amazing stay at Mintaro Guesthouse! The facilities were very functional, clean, and handy! The host also cooks dinner at night and let me tell you that it is delicious (there is a donation box for that)! Breakfast is free also! My room was big, clean and comfortable. The staff was lovely and friendly, we got to play the guitar together! I would 1000% recommend this place to anyone who likes cozy places and to connect with people.
