The facilities are well kept. Love the old Japan hotel feeling with clean, comfortable and unpretentious decorations. A car stop at entrance plus a close by car park in addition to the bigger car park. Staff at check in is professional and at breakfast are great. At dinner, food was nicely presented and it is also a pleasant experience with some selection of sake. Sofa chair in the room we booked extra for was clean and nice! Thank you.

This place was lovely! Staff don't speak a lot of english, but then i dont speak a lot of japanese, but together we managed to get any questions answered promptly! If you can swing the additional cost *definitely* do the half board experience. The food was phenomenal and the service was lovely! The onsen was lovely and hot, the minerals left my skin so smooth.

This was a great experience - the traditional room and bedding, the meals, and the service were all fantastic. Location is a bit tricky to get to if you don't have a car, but well worth the effort.

I think there could have been a bit more choice for breakfast.
Winter closure of the open-air baths "Shirakaba-no-yu" (Late December - 28 February) Due to the accumulation of snow, the open-air bath will be closed during the winter.

The taxi driver told us there are 4 "Takamiya" in the region, which was an interesting trivia, but can get confusing.
Rooms were spacious and meals were delicious. Staff were helpful and carried our luggage to the room.

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.

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.
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?

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.

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.
Oraphin, Taka, and Yui are the best! The were so friendly and helpful. My fiance and I stayed for a few days and don't speak Japanese so Oraphin and Taka helped us reserve a private onsen and a dinner reservation at a nearby restaurant. Zao Onsen is a small town, but even still the location of the house was very close to everything and just steps away from many nice onsens. Oraphin and Taka will help you with whatever your needs may be, I would gladly come back and stay with them again!

Good location, just 5 mins walk from the Yamako Bus terminal. The ryokan's owner is very friendly to the guest. He can speak a little English too.
They also serve some tasty Japanese breakfast and dinner. They offer free tickets for entry to the 3 public hot springs nearby. I will be staying at Takasagoya again the next time I am here to see the snow monsters.

As 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.
The staffs are super friendly and helpful. The two gentlemen from the reception counter tried their best to help me with information of the ski resorts and the road way from the hotel to the onsen town, not forgetting also the lovely Filipino lady who gave me and my family with such a warm welcome. Really like their services.
Easy access, located in centre of Zao, fun to walk around, nearby convenient store, awesome onsen (indoor and outdoor). Cute little town and somehow Halal food available. Great place to play snow with kids. Snow goods rental shop situated in front of the hotel gave my son to rent sleigh for free. Nice peoples.
Before I booked the place I’ve read the comments. Mostly with good review. I wasn’t disappointed at all. Staff was friendly the place quite clean and close to the ski resort and onsen. Only 5 mins walk from Zao bus terminal. The breakfast limited but thats fine. My room was facing mountains and its beautiful.
very friendly staff.
many of them can explain in simple english.
Private onsen is very fantastic.
great room for family.
the hotel is a bit far from bus terminal but no problem because hotel provide free shuttle van from hotel to many ropeway and also shuttle van from Yamagata st. to hotel (round trip).
The hotel was lovely and staff were excellent. Great location and an easy walk to the ski field and village for dinner. I stayed in a traditional Japanese room and the view of the village was beautiful. The staff were always helpful and very friendly. Highly recommend.
The location is good, there are many ramen restaurants and cafes around, and the food at the hotel's restaurant is also great. Clean and tidy. The staff service is very good, Can be said to be excellent service . Impeccable.
There is also a very cute dog named Yuki.
Great location, 5 minutes walking from the ski resort, 1 minute from public onsen, 2 minutes walking from the bus stop.
A lot of restaurants around.
The stuff are friendly.
The breakfast is really good, Japanese style.
Fabulous !!! The hotel is splendid the dining experience is amazing one of the best food I eat in Japan. The outside onsen with the snow fall when you are in the bath is just amazing and the staff so nice !!
Lovely hotel with a pleasant and helpful staff. The Osen was small, but nice With both indoor and outdoor options for women. Breakfast and dinner were included with our room and both were excellent.
Great location, just 1 min walk to the cable car station and 30s walk to ski-rental shop. The hotel provided the rental discount coupon, only 2500 yen per day!
