Mercure Miyagi Zao Resort & Spa ★★★★

📍 Oniishihara Togattaonsen, 1-1, Zao

Chikusenso Onsen
9.6 (95 reviews)

Chikusenso Onsen ★★★★★

📍 District, Zaō, Togattaonsen, Uwanohara−88−11, Zao

"I visited this inn with my elderly mother, wanting to enjoy New Year's at the inn. All the staff were white-haired gentlemen, and everything they did was smart and kind, and I was impressed by their warm hospitality. The New Year's food was also very colorfully presented and delicious, and the composition of the food and the use of the dishes were wonderful. We had a peaceful and enjoyable New Year's. It was an inn that I would like to visit again in a different month."

Hoshiakari No Yado Mahoroba
9.3 (31 reviews)

Hoshiakari No Yado Mahoroba ★★★

📍 39-294, Higashiurayama, Zao

"My wife and I stayed in the villa for two nights. Overall, the atmosphere was great and we were able to experience something out of the ordinary. The villa's open-air bath, filled with natural hot spring water, is charmingly carved out of a large rock. It was spacious enough to stretch out and enjoy a luxurious stay. The washing area was separated by a door, making it easy to stay warm, and I really appreciated the thoughtfulness, even in the cold season. And above all, since our room had its own open-air bath, being able to use it whenever I wanted felt incredibly luxurious. For dinner, we chose the yakiniku plan, which included a Zao beef platter, which we enjoyed grilling over charcoal to perfection. The breakfast menu was also very varied and satisfying. I ended up overeating. This is definitely the perfect inn for an extraordinary experience. Thank you for the wonderful memories."

Bardenya Soho
7.7 (12 reviews)

Bardenya Soho ★★★

📍 Shinchihigashiurayama-43-1 Togattaonsen, Katta District, Zao

"Actually, I didn't stay overnight because I was in a rush, but I heard this place is pretty good, and I'd book it again next time if I have the chance. The reason I booked the wrong place was because the address was too far away, meaning I couldn't get there."

Yutomori Club
9.4 (8 reviews)

Yutomori Club ★★★

📍 Togattaonsen, 字 上ノ原128, Zao

"The hotel has no elevator. It is very inconvenient to get luggage up and down during the ski season. They say the elevator is under repair, but in fact they are just rebuilding it. There was basically no explanation for children when they checked in, and they were charged the same fee as adults. It was very unreasonable. The butler of Ctrip helped to deal with the problem very patiently, but I felt that the hotel was perfunctory in response. It was disappointing. I will not choose to stay in this hotel in the future. But thank the butler of Ctrip for their patient coordination again."

Kappa No Yado Ryokan Sanjiro
8.7 (81 reviews)

Kappa No Yado Ryokan Sanjiro ★★★

📍 3 Tōgattaonsen Motomachi, Zao

"We booked our accommodation for the night at Ryokan Sanjiro in Togatta Onsen. Traveling down the Zao Echo Line from the top of Mt. Zao towards Miyagi, we arrived at Togatta Onsenkyo. Ryokan Sanjiro was built on a small hill on the east side of Togatta Onsen town. It is a medium-sized Japanese-style inn with a number of different paths to follow, each one of which was lovely with its own quaint space. From the large public baths, Katsupa no Yu and Togen no Yu, we had a magnificent view of the Zao mountain range. Dinner at a restaurant called Kamado was a seasonal kaiseki meal made with locally produced in-season ingredients, which we enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere, along with some local Miyagi sake."

Mercure Miyagi Zao Resort & Spa ★★★★
"The rooms were a bit old, but the hot springs were decent, and the price was good. The breakfast and dinner buffets were also quite nice. There's a late-night bar, but we don't drink so we couldn't really enjoy it. It would have been even better if it stayed open until 11 PM."

"The open-air bath attached to our room was so relaxing that I think I spent almost all my time in it, except when I was sleeping. The yakiniku dinner was delicious, and the breakfast had a wide variety of dishes; I thoroughly enjoyed it."

"This is an inn with very warm hospitality. Relaxing in the hot springs will help relieve your fatigue. It's not flashy, but it's a warm inn. I'll definitely go again."

Yutomori Club ★★★
"Although the reception staff at Zao no Mori Club didn't understand much English, they were sincere and polite and it wasn't difficult to communicate with them. The hotel is located in the mountains with a very quiet and beautiful environment. However, after taking a bus from Sendai Station to Togatta Onsen Station, there were no taxis in the town because it was a small town and it was Saturday. Later, a Japanese man with a ram led the way. He led a group of 8 of us and pushed the luggage boxes across the mountain and walked for about 45 minutes to get to the hotel. If the hotel could rearrange a toll car to pick us up from Sendai Station, we would definitely be happy to visit again."

"The most serene, peaceful and relaxing experience, after the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. We recently had 2 nights here and will be back in Winter to experience the beauty in a different season. Like Bali, the staff and the hospitality they offer, the care they take with everything is incredible."

Sansatei ★★★
"Many group guests stayed in this old hotel. The facilities are obviously old, but it is clean and tidy. The view from the room window is nice, but the hot spring is just average. I kept hearing other guests complaining about the water temperature not being enough. When checking in, one of the older ladies at the counter was very rude. She was very impatient while explaining the hotel facilities. After I responded, her attitude suddenly changed. So at the beginning, she really bullied the customer."
