Location, Breakfast and Price

Hotel is right in front of Yamagata JR Station. The Japanese buffet breakfast is great. Staff is welcoming and friendly, and get things done very quickly. Their indoor restaurant serves decent meals at reasonable prices. Shopping is within minutes walk, and a 24 hours supermarket is just at the backyard of the hotel. Yamagata City is a good base to explore the prefecture, with Yamadera 20mins away by train, Ginzan Onsen about 90mins away via train/bus, and Zao Onsen 60mins via bus. Great city!

Excellent location

In less than 5 minutes one can reach the hotel right after getting off from JR trains. Besides visiting the castle and museums in Yamagata, one can go sight-seeing in nearby areas. The best choice is Zao where one can see trees covered with thick snow during winter. (It takes less than an hour from yamagata JR station to Zao.) Kaminoyama is another good choice for sightseeing and it takes less than 20 minutes from Yamagata to there by JR trains.
