Situated in Yamagata, Guesthouse Mintaro Hut features accommodation with free private parking. The 1-star guest house has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom and free WiFi. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. I spent one night here and would have loved to stay longer. Hide-san created a little paradise in his house. As a solo traveller or couple, if you are looking for a social/local experience with long nights of talking and sharing with the other guests, this is the perfect place. Home-cooked dinner based on donation was the best food I've had in Japan so far.

Situated in Kaminoyama in the Yamagata region, Snowfall Meteor 飛雪流星 has a garden. It is located 2.2 km from Zao Onsen Ski Resort and provides luggage storage space. The guest house features family rooms. A lovely and heartwarming place to stay for a winter getaway. The couple that owns this business made us feel like family. Mao and Qu are so kind and welcoming. They treated us like family. They picked us up from the bus station, drove us to a wonderful dinner location (which they recommended), drove us to the ski resort, and helped with all our luggage. I was so happy to meet them and talk with them. The room is just as warm as the owners. The floors are heated and the beds are very comfortable. I wish I could’ve stayed longer.

Situated in Murayama, Yamagata region, Yamagata Guesthouse山形ゲストハウス is set 500 metres from Murayama Station. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

The area is popular for hiking, and bike hire is available at Yamagata Guesthouse山形ゲストハウス. Very cute and conveniently located in a building with restaurants. I like that they offered shuttles to Ginzan Onsen. The trip allots for about an hour of sightseeing. If you don’t plan on getting in the onsen, it’s the perfect amount of time.
