Embrace Tradition and New Experiences at Zao Highlands Resort

Zao Onsen is situated at the foot of the Zao mountain range and boasts a history of over 300 years with its long-established inns quietly standing in this area. Hotel Matsukinya Annex is one of these traditional hot spring inns.

Immerse Yourself in Timeless Hot Springs

The pride of Hotel Matsukinya Annex lies in its natural hot spring water that flows directly from the source. The hot spring water here has a high-quality thermal quality that warms the core of your body. The large communal bath is equipped with numerous quaint wooden bathing tubs, providing a leisurely moment to heal your fatigue.

Enjoy Local Flavors

After soaking in the hot spring, we recommend tasting the local cuisine unique to Yamagata. The kaiseki cuisine made with seasonal ingredients will surely leave a lasting memory with its refined taste and beautiful presentation. You can savor the seasonal flavors of Yamagata, such as mountain vegetables, river fish, and beef.

Indulge in Zao's Magnificent Views with Glamping

The new attraction of this inn is the rooftop glamping facility. The tents offer a 360-degree panoramic view, providing a spot to admire the Zao mountain range. The starry sky spreading across the night sky is also an unforgettable experience.

With its timeless traditional hot spring inns and a new resort style, a stay at Hotel Matsukinya Annex promises a host of attractions. Spend a relaxing time at this established hot spring inn.

It was a wonderful time spent there. The hot bath was pretty hot but I like it this week. It is not very far from the ski area. The staff is very friendly. I can only recommend. It is very close to the ski station and it is possible to walk there. I really liked the mood of the place and I wish I can go back there next year. Probably it’s best to book a bit in advance.

One word - Amazing! The meals here were not only delicious but the volume was so big that we could barely finish everything :)) All staffs were so nice and friendly too, especially the bus driver. Whenever I called him to pick us up at the station or at the ski place, he showed up in 5 mins with big smile on his face. Thank you and will definitely come back here when I visit Zao again!

Not much English spoken but the staff are still very friendly and helpful. The hotel is a little dated but that didn't bother me. The bath house is perfect, with a large indoor bath and a small outdoor bath. There is a second bathroom that is fed by the naturally milky local hot spring. Very soothing.

The hotel is located a few minutes walk from the slopes, but they also offer a helpful shuttle service to and from the slopes, and the Zao bus terminal (ask for schedule). They have two baths: Normal main bath, and the natural hot-spring bath separately. Dinner and breakfast are very filling and delicious, using the local produces and specialties. If you're renting ski/snowboard goods, the hotel has a discount program with an associated store.

I’ve really needed an escape from Tokyo and I received it in the best way possible. Matukenaya Annex is a wonderful place. The staff was very friendly, nice and helping, although I don’t speak Japanese. I’ve enjoyed my room, traditional and spacious. The dinner was very delicious as well! I fell in love with the onsen facilities, It was a truly wonderful experience to relax in the real sulfide bath, while watching the sunset and listening to the songs of cicadas. Highly recommend this place. A traditional Japanese experience. Arigatogozaimasu 🙇🏼‍♂️
