Friendly staff, nice natural Onsen within premise, very convenient-centrally located and brightly lit, especially when walking back at night after dinner outside, it's most welcoming. Amenities at the lounge and free shuttle service to/from Yamagata station is important for me so it's nice to have that. Room is spacious, very peaceful stay.

I booked the Ryokan on a room only basis, when I arrived, I tried to add dinner and breakfast. The staff member I spoke to said that it was impossible to add dinner and breakfast to my booking. I cannot understand why a hotel would refuse to add food to their tariff. Otherwise, the hotel was very good.

This is a larger complex but it felt like a cozy ryokan throughout, especially in the rather large Japanese style room that I had. Staff speak little English but were friendly enough to work around my poor Japanese.

This a great place to stay if you are looking for a typical Japanese hotel with a hot spring in the hotel and within walking distance of the Zao ski area. The hotel is clean and comfortable. They have a nice lounge area to relax after skiing. We had 1/2 board that included a typical Japanese breakfast and dinner - both expertly served and outstanding. Highly recommended hotel!!!

Loved our stay at Omiya. Great location and great experience for a first timer at a Ryokan. Docked a star because instructions for using facilities were slightly confusing and beds gave both my partner and I back problems. They were accommodating to tattoos (using tape or just going when no one else was around) which was a pleasant surprise. Would stay again!

The hotel is lovely, the location lovely. The staff are horrendous and lack any sense of customer service. From check-in to our restaurant experience we found the staff evasive, lazy, and during dinner rude interrupting a meal to insist guests to sign their bill because they want to go home. This was not a language issue or a cultural issue it was a front customer facing team that lacks the basics in customer service. So I loved the hotel - despite the engaged and rude staff.
