"We stayed at Oohira hotel in October to use it as a base for hiking. It is perfectly located, near the top end of Zao Onsen, right next to the base of the mountain and the big Zao outdoor onsen. We found it with no issues, and the hotel will pick you up from the bus station if you call in advance.
The main thing to stand out for us at Oohira was the staff, who were really excellent throughout. They even spoke some English which was surprising and welcome!

Excellent service and a great overall experience. The room was everything you could wish for, spacious, clean and comfortable. The morning breakfast selection was delicious and they even have a spot for making onsen eggs!

We stayed here for a night to continue our Journey from Akita to Tendo, Yamagata. As soon as we enter the parking lot, a staff came to provide assistance for parking and the bags. Excellent reception who used a translation device to make sure we understood everything. There were two hot spring faculties, the open air was interesting with the bath/shower area also outside. Water temperature was extremely hot. Room was very spacious and lovely dinner and breakfast. The owner appears to be a...

Stayed 4 nights, beside being good at location, reasonable price; service was superb. My luggage delivery was challenging when I had to recall it back all the way from Aomori due to tsunami- earthquake alert, and the staff were very patient, took the trouble to call Yamato to ensure my luggages was safely sent back.
Thanks to a gentleman staff (4/20) who find me a good rroom rate to extend extra day and make 1st call to Yamato, and Ms Sato San (4/23) who again called to check when my luggage...

Hi All,
We have a wonderful stay and the vegetarian meals for the two days were sumptuous and interesting.
Room was clean and the servers at the restaurant were extremely polite and helpful.
However, it would be nice if shuttle service can be provided during winter from the train station.
