The hotel has Helston hot spring "a large public bath" rich in minerals, and Zekkeiroten-no-yu (a bath with a magnificent view) with 100% free-flowing hot spring. Please experience the difference and effects of alkali and strong acidic hot spring water from this high quality source. From Iwaburo (rock bath) Zekkeiroten-no-yu you can enjoy a different mysterious view of Mt. Asahi during each season, and a panoramic view of Kaminoyama city in the distance.

The guest room is a base for your activities in Yamagata Zao. All rooms are Western style with beds so that the elderly and guests with physical problems can enjoy their stay. Please refresh your mind and body thoroughly in a well cleaned and comfortable room. The seasonal view from the window and wild birds singing at dawn are some of the best things about staying at Zao.

The hotel chef creates food to express his omotenashi (hospitality) with each plate while making the most of seasonal ingredients. Based on delicate French cuisine, dishes combining Japanese, Western and Chinese cuisine will decorate your table elegantly. Menus catering to special requirements such as allergies, sugar- or salt- reduced food are available upon request.
