The hotel is brand new, and the bathroom facilities, in particular, are excellent. It's probably the best option near Yamagata Station. It's a 3-5 minute walk to Yamagata Station and just a 3-minute walk to the bus stop (for Zao Onsen Ski Resort) from Yamagata Station. The breakfast restaurant is a famous Yonezawa beef restaurant. You can ask the front desk to make a reservation for you.
Really good location and room is cozy I like it. Dont expect a good television it was a small monitor but you dont use it anywayz i like the place and had a comfortable stay. My restroom has a small in the sink but it’s bearable
I like Richmond Hotels for their modern decor and well-maintained property. Unfortunately this location in particular falls short of the most basic criteria of a hotel - cleanliness, especially in Japan. There were molds found in the bathroom in between the tub and the wall, as well as in between the window silts. The location of the hotel is about 5 mins walk from the Yamagata Station. Staff were nice and hospitable. The free midnight snack and free drinks and ice cream in the lounge were nice touches to the stay.
Great location, clean room that matched the pictures. All amenities were provided. The only downside was the parking; it's available but comes with an extra charge. Breakfast was decent, and the staff were lovely and very helpful.
The hotel location is excellent and very convenient.
The room is also very spacious and comfortable.
However, one thing we were slightly disappointed with was that our request for two extra bottles of water was declined by the front desk, as they mentioned only two bottles are provided per day. We’re not sure if this is a standard policy across hotels in Japan.
Overall, we were still very satisfied with our stay.
My biggest mistake of this trip to Yamagata is to book this hotel. It's a good hotel but it's in the middle of nowhere. You will want to stay around the city of Yamagata province which is also called Yamagata city just so you can get to famous tourist spots. However this is 4 hours away from all of these. I had to book another hotel so I can stay 1 day in the city when I wanted to visit these places and the traveling time just completely made me exhausted. It took like 1 day to go to a place and 1 day to go back. It was so terrible, I was crying. This place is closed to Shonai airport not Yamagata airport so I also had to book another flight from Shonai. I wasted so much money for transportation. It was such a terrible experience.
However the hotel is incredibly beautiful with smart design in everything. I loved the onsen very much. If it was just a vacation/restcation for relaxing purpose or isolate yourself from the human word, it's the best choice for you. Since its in the middle of the endless rice field, there is nothing to eat except for paying very high price to eat at the hotel's restaurant. And the food was just okay.
The beauty of this hotel was like a trap. Its like I was blind from its beauty and couldn't see all other disavantages.
The hotel is right next to Yamagata Station, with a direct connection. You take the express elevator from the second floor of the building up to the 24th floor, where the front desk is located. The room was clean, quiet, and well-equipped. From the station's exit, you can walk to the East Exit where the bus terminal is, offering buses to Zao Onsen and Sendai. The food court and shopping area nearby are also very convenient.
A very neat and clean hotel
Breakfast buffet was good even though it is not something fancy but I like the food.
The hotel has a coin washing machine and dryer which could help us to do our laundry
The hotel has free parking, which is a big thumbs up, you can park in the parking lot behind the hotel, then take a ticket to reception and plug it in, you can park until the next morning, and the famous and delicious Mizawa beef next morning to the hotel
This hotel contains hot spring, which can relax after long trip. It also provides free shuttle to Tendo station, I enjoy living here.
Great
