Lodge Scole

Yamagata City

Yamagata Prefecture

Lodge Scole is a European classic style lodge in the central (Uwanodai) area of Zao Onsen resort in Yamagata Prefecture. Open during the winter season (December through March) and August for the summer season. It is close to the slopes of the famous ski and snowboard resort. Pets (especially dogs) are welcome at Lodge Scole.


The Ojima family have been welcoming people here since 1974 when they first opened Lodge Scole after enjoying a visit to the Alps in Europe. Just a short walk from the Lodge, you will be ready to head out onto a variety of great scenic slopes. Or, put on your cross-country skis and head out to ski various woodland trails. Our Lodge in Zao is your home away from home and awaits you with warmest hospitalities.
