      First time in the northern parts of Japan (although not so very far north), and we had a truly wonderful time at Hotel Kiraku. Very friendly and helpful staff that takes really good care of their guests. Lovely rooms, fantastic bath and delicious food. An

      “気楽に泊まれる”

      家族三代で二泊三日でスキーを思い切り楽しみました。 ホテル代も割安で経済的にも助かりました。 ホテルの場所は、蔵王ロープウエーと中央ロープウエーがあり、どちらへも2分ぐらいと近く便利でした。 部屋も清潔感があり、なんといってもスキーの後の露天風呂は最高です。内風呂は湯が熱く広くはないが白濁の温泉でした。 従業員の方々にもいろいろ気遣ってもらい、思い出に残る良い旅が出来ました。 家族一同、感謝しております。

      値段の割には、食事が品揃え味とも大満足。温泉も私の大好きな硫黄の香がハッキリしていた。ロープウエイ駅にも近く冬にもまた行きたい宿でした。
