Compare 5 airports near Kaminoyama
For most travelers, Yamagata Airport (GAJ) is the most practical choice, serving as the primary regional airport for Yamagata Prefecture and offering the quickest access to Kaminoyama. While not located in Kaminoyama itself, it is the closest option and is well-served by shuttle buses and taxis. Sendai Airport (SDJ) is a major international gateway for the Tohoku region; it is further away but offers more frequent flights, making it a viable alternative for international visitors who do not mind a longer train or bus journey. The remaining airports, Shonai Airport (SYO), Akita Airport (AXT), and Fukushima Airport (FKS), are located in neighboring cities and primarily cater to specific regional routes. These airports should generally only be considered if flight availability or pricing is significantly more favorable, as they require much longer ground transport times to reach Kaminoyama. We recommend checking the latest train schedules, as connections between regional airports and the Yamagata Shinkansen line can significantly impact your total travel time.

The room is spacious and in traditional Japanese style. Was expecting a private onsen in the room but it was only a bathtub. The staff couldn’t communicate well in English which caused some misunderstanding during our stay but they’re friendly and responsible enough to solve the problem for us so it’s still a great experience overall. The breakfast was very traditional and got more and more abundant every day. We had a great 4nights stay in Hayamakan.
The highlight has to be the nearby restaurants. The hotel will give you some recommendations nearby, please make sure you try some of them!FromUS$148

A budget-friendly hotel, a bit old, but cozy.
There's a welcome drink bar offering alcohol and tea. There's also a comic book area and a ping-pong table nearby.
The public bath is great, with a large indoor pool and a small outdoor pool.
Dinner was okay, not fancy, but thoughtfully prepared. It included beef, pork, sashimi, abalone, various vegetables, and desserts.
I stayed there at the end of the year, so the price was relatively high, and the value for money was average. If you ignore the price, I was quite satisfied.FromUS$112

Excellent authentic ryokan experience. Twenty minutes drive away from Zao ski area. The room was spacious and clean with comfortable bedding that kept us warm throughout the nights. Breakfast was perfect. Onsen is minimal and not big but the water quality is excellent. Our skin was moisturized throughout our trip without the need for body lotion! The hosts helped us with restaurant reservations, led us the way, and even drove to get sushi dinner for us on New Year’s Eve when we were out of options on food. And when we needed help with our car rental, they were again helping us deal with the problem. Though they do not speak much English, their kindness broke all language barriers. Their hospitality and warm service minds are beyond words. We recommend this property to anyone seeking a home away from home. Thank you again!FromUS$63

Since we made a reservation on the day, it was 35,000 yen for two people for one night with only breakfast. We were upgraded to a slightly larger room. Carbonated water, alcohol, coffee, etc. were free until midnight, which was nice. The large public bath was clean and had a nice atmosphere, and it felt so good that I wanted to stay in the bath for a long time. Since the plan did not include dinner, they introduced us to some recommended restaurants. It was a little disappointing that there was nothing particularly noteworthy about the breakfast, but there was nothing bad about the inn. Next time I would like to try dinner.FromUS$115

Basically, you can experience 3 types of hot spring baths (basic men's and women's public baths + one of the 4 additional family baths for free), and you can use the remaining 3 family baths for an additional fee of 2,500 yen. Two of the family baths are on the rooftop, two are on the first floor, and one of the two is Pamukkale type. Dinner and breakfast are served in the room, and the next day, they even cleaned the snow that had piled up on the car. However, when the air conditioner and heater were turned on high, it was too noisy and I couldn't sleep, and when they were turned on low, it was cold.FromUS$74

Sehr professionell geführtes Hotel mit englischsprachigen, ausgesprochen zuvorkommenden (und erstaunlich vielen) Mitarbeitern. Ausgezeichnetes Onsen mit Außenbereich und sehr klarer Luft. Hervorragendes, extrem reichhaltiges Essensangebot mit offener Küche. Schöne Lobby mit Innengarten. WiFi geht gut, ist aber je nach Hotelbereich ein anderes. Es wird lokaler Wein angeboten.
Sehr ruhiges Umfeld, 10min vom Bahnhof.
Das gesamte Hotel bis auf die Küche sind gepflegt und alles funktioniert. Fester wurden geputzt, gucken sie nach sowas mal in Europa… Aber es ist in 2025 alles auf dem Stand von 1983 - plus WiFi. Das muss kein Mangel sein, aber hier und da sieht man es deutlich auch im Zimmer z.B. bei den Rollos und dem betagten (aber leisen) Kühlschrank, der noch nie abgetaut worden zu sein scheint und in dem eine Kanne mit Wasser stand, dass gekühlt genug Zeit zum Verdunsten und wieder Kondensieren hatte, vielleicht steht sie da schon immer…FromUS$113

I stayed here while traveling from Kyushu.
I had a comfortable time.
The staff were warm and welcoming, and were full of hospitality.
The room was neatly arranged, and I was very satisfied with the cleanliness, including the fact that there were chilled towels in the refrigerator and that we could choose our yukata.
The large public bath was bright and very clean, not a single hair was found, and the water felt great. I usually don't bathe in the morning, but I couldn't help but take a dip!
I was also very satisfied with the food, both dinner and breakfast! The flavors were mild and the portions were just right, neither too much nor too little.
I was able to relax in the lounge as well. The grapefruit juice was delicious!
I felt that the entire hotel was carefully thought out.
I would like to stay here again. It was a fond memory. Thank you.FromUS$152

It's a little far from the nearest station. Cleaning was well done. The meal was spacious in a completely private room, and the salted cherry blossoms served at breakfast were cold for some reason. The entrance to Mt. Hanasaki Observatory is just around the corner. The sky tower, famous for Tawaman in the field, was here.FromUS$118
