Snowfall Meteor 飛雪流星

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.

With a shared bathroom, units at the guest house also provide guests with free WiFi. A lovely and heartwarming place to stay for a winter getaway. The couple that owns this business made us feel like family. Mao and Qu are so kind and welcoming. They treated us like family. They picked us up from the bus station, drove us to a wonderful dinner location (which they recommended), drove us to the ski resort, and helped with all our luggage. I was so happy to meet them and talk with them. The room is just as warm as the owners. The floors are heated and the beds are very comfortable. I wish I could’ve stayed longer.

Situated in Kaminoyama, 2.2 km from Zao Onsen Ski Resort, Zao Pension Aramiya - Vacation STAY 86181v features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

The rooms have a shared bathroom with a shower, free toiletries and a hairdryer. At the hotel each room is fitted with air conditioning and a TV. The food was amazing! I came here for Christmas to see some snow and stayed 2 nights. Both nights the food was soo good and there was soo much. I also had breakfast included and that was good too. The hosts are lovely and even with the language barrier we used translate apps to talk and I had a great time. The house is old and wooden with kerosene heaters, its not super fancy but the blankets on the bed were warm and fluffy, so with a belly full of great food and snow falling outside I slept really well. They even drove me to the bus terminal the day I left. 10/10 highly recommend, especially for the food.

大聖坊 Daishobo

Mount Haguro, Tsuruoka

Set in Tsuruoka in the Yamagata region, 大聖坊 Daishobo offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. Well situated in the Mount Haguro district, this guest house is located 46 km from Shinjo Station. The property is non-smoking and is situated 24 km from Kamo Aquarium. I felt like family and yet had all the privacy I required. The Master was gracious to include me in the morning prayers. This stay was the best possible addition to my time on Mt Haguro and learning lore about the spirituality of the Yamabushi and the DewaSanzan. The food was incredible, so healthy and much was grown locally. It was the best place I stayed in my two weeks in Japan.
