Hot Springs Hotels in Akita Prefecture, Japan

A Hotel that is recovering from the bad snowy weather. Rooms are big but toilet is tiny. The toilet bidet is bigger than the actual toilet bowl. Also the taps in toilet need upgrading to mixer. Buffet Dinner is good. Sashimi is basic salmon mainly. Buffet should not be a fixed menu everyday! For visitors staying longer, this is uninteresting. When I visited from 7-10 April, the outdoor Onsen was MOST UNFORTUNATELY not working!

I recommend everyone to stay once! Although the location is more remote, but driving will be more convenient, but without a car you have to book a shuttle bus in advance on the hotel's official website, board at JR, it is best to book a bus time for another day! Dinner is a buffet dinner with quite a few choices. There are also shower facilities in the room.

Dormy Inn Akita boasts an excellent location, being very close to Akita Station. The distinctive sculpture at the hotel's main entrance caught my eye, though its meaning wasn't clear to me. The hotel is conveniently situated next to the Akita Museum of Art and directly opposite Akita Park, contributing to a wonderfully pleasant atmosphere.

The service is very good. From Towada Lake Yuya, the hotel's shuttle bus will pick you up on time at 4pm, and the shuttle bus will take you to Yuya, Konokuchi or Hachinohe at 8:30am. The room is not big, and the bathroom facilities are old-fashioned. But they are also easy to use. The open-air bath is of good quality, suitable for three baths a day. The restaurant is of high standard, facing the Towada Lake, with excellent views. The overall experience is very satisfactory, the environment is good, and it faces the lake. It is very suitable for a vacation and relaxation, and it is extremely quiet. Take the JR BUS from Yuya to Ishido, and start hiking up the Oirase Gorge to Konokuchi from here, and experience the best stream in Japan!

The location was excellent, right in front of Yokote Station. The parking lot was free, which was nice. There were hot spring facilities on the first and seventh floors, which was nice. The restaurant on the second floor was also cheap and nice.

I think it is good to enter the morning bath because the time not to take the bath is from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., and enter the morning bath, and then make breakfast until 7:30. The hot water is good and the mist sauna is comfortable. It is a clean and affordable inn.

The hotel lobby sits and looks at the snow outside the window. It is beautiful, the dinner is rich, there are abalones, and cattle. If the service is less or less, it is very good. The hot spring is very good and the outdoor scenery is beautiful.

The hotel is located by Lake Tazawa. There is a shuttle bus to pick up at Lake Tazawa Station. The hotel staff is very friendly and polite. The room is very clean and the wind and shadow outside the window are beautiful. There is also a family bath, which is very comfortable. Dinner and breakfast are included. Food Very delicious, highly recommended. 

I booked a Japanese-style room, which was quite big, but there was no bathroom. However, there was no need for a bathroom if there was a hot spring. Outside the window was a forest in front of the hotel, with a nice view. The hot spring has three pools, one open-air hot spring, two indoor black and white hot springs. The hot springs are natural and pretty good. The hotel's breakfast and dinner are all self-service, check out at 10 am and check in at 3 pm. I arrived at a little after 1 pm and waited for the people in front to check in. I waited for about 45 minutes. I could have gone to the nearby Taenoyu hot spring, but I missed the time because the reception there ended at 2 pm.

The hotel is located near the bus station. The traffic is convenient, clean, the dining is delicious, the boss is very hospitable, because I don’t know Japanese, the boss is very patient to use the mobile phone to translate Japanese into Chinese and communicate with me, because I have to catch the plane. The kitchen gets up early and prepares breakfast for me. After checking out, the boss used the translated text to tell me that the snowy road outside is very slippery, be careful, my heart is very warm
