Hotel is a 20 minute walk from the station. It is right in the middle of shopping, and very near temples. The staff at the hotel are very helpful and kind. Would recommend.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (308 reviews)
Nice new hotel with spacious room and nice bathroom. It is a block from the train station and bus terminal so it is easy to explore the regions such as Zao Onsen and Yamadera. The hotel restaurant is one of the best serving famous local beef and hotel guests have a decent discount. Highly recommended for visiting Yamagata.
