Zao onsen is a lovely getaway in the Japanese mountains.
Zao onsen is a lovely getaway in the Japanese mountains. Mostly tailored to skiers and snowboarders though, with the many hills and ski facilities. But it's also a lovely place for a brief visit if you want some relaxation and onsens. We visited mainly for seeing the Zao Snow monsters and relaxing at a nice hotel. Unforuntately the Snow Monsters had already melted when we were there, and only one cablecar worked going up the mountain, so there was a huge line. The town is cozy with a few restaurant options. We did not ski and stayed for two nights which was just the right amount of time, as there's not that much to experience in the town, other than ski, visit onsen and take the cablecar (if it's working properly)

It's good for a few days of hitting the slopes and had a surprising number for eateries compared to some of the other onsen towns. The juhyo (snow monster) is an interesting sight (depending on the weather) especially since you will have to go right to the top of the mountain to see it. It has a night viewing session depending on the season for the juhyo also. And if you're driving, Yamagata town is just a short 30mins drive down the mountain and you'll have more eateries to choose from.EdMalaysia - 10Scored 10

I stayed in Zao Onsen in mid October and had a beautiful time absorbed in the energy of the mountains and blown away by the ‘koyo’ autumn leaves 🧡 In the off season, it proves a serene escape to soak in the onsens, and take in the clean air and stunning views on various hikes. I can only imagine how much fun it would be when covered in snow!

I booked for a group of 3 families.
I booked for a group of 3 families. When I checked in they assumed that the Japanese family is the primary contact. The hotel front refused my ID and address and INSISTED that the Japanese family should be the primary contact and address. This is unacceptable considering that I am the one booking. It caused a lot of confusion and uncomfortable to my group. If you do not want foreigner to book the property then why bother listing it in the booking.com?Reza SurjaJapan - 8.0Scored 8.0

Interesting for its hot springs one can find almost everywhere and its location in a charming mountain are. The little town itself doesn't offer much and is rather boring. Few restaurants that close early at about 3 pm and hardly any shopping facilities. Fortunately, there is at least a small convenience store. The sulphurous smell of the hot springs can be noticed all around the area.GerdGermany - 10Scored 10

Staying at the Christmas Rose Hotel was perfect for hot springs ( onsen ) and also close to convenience store. The owners are very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Free rides to zao hp town and had coupons for the four main hot springs there. Tatami mat flooring and Japanese type hotel. Perfect for relaxing away from major city type hotels. Peaceful time memories. I have videos on youtube also about it. Highly recommended!! Zao Onsen is an amazing place.

- 9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 42 reviewsThe room was very japanese styled and the location is very well centered in Zao Onsen. The hosts were extraordinary. They were kind, very welcoming and cared for all of our needs. They took the time to explain the surroundings (restaurants, onsens, ropeline, etc.), they gave us tickets for the local onsens, offered coffee in the morning and even held our luggage after the checkout for a time. All in all, it was great to meet this kind-hearted family. I would highly recommend staying here.AitorSpain

- 8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 120 reviewsWonderful stay. Beautiful Japanese-style room with a lovely covered balcony area with great views over the town. Exquisite food. Very helpful staff. Room was warm and well-equipped and the hot spring baths are open 24-hours so were never too busy. The hotel is a short walk from the centre of town, ropeway etc but this meant that it has great views over the town and to the mountains beyond. Shuttle to the bus station available.
MargaretUnited Kingdom - From $114.24 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 243 reviewsThe breakfast and dinner is traditional Japanese and is excellent and value for money. The dinner was especially sumptuous and was more than expected. It had a small onsen and for the more adventurous you can also use on of the 3 public onsen that was only steps away from the front door. It's exceptionally close to the ski lift - easily walkable even with gear.EdMalaysia
- 8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 83 reviewsAs other reviewers mentioned, the owner is very helpful. If you want to practice skiing he can rent you equipment. You can also enjoy Onsen, rope ways and ski loft, which is very near to the hotel and he will help you to reach to those places if you request him. I will again go to this hotel next year for a week long stay and skiing.SuronjitJapan

Since our group doesn't eat beef, at the time of check-in, we asked the hotel staff if they could amend the menu for us. They were able to do that and we had our dinner with a set of grilled seafood which was very delicious and beyond our expectations.
