Great
Posted on Nov 26, 2024
This place is super relaxing and peaceful, but you’ll need to drive there. The drive up to Towada Lake is an adventure in itself.
The room is super clean and spacious.
The dinner and breakfast are decent too.
The bathhouse is a bit old-fashioned, but it’s clean and has a great view of the lake.
It’s the perfect place to unwind during the middle of our trip.

This place is extraordinarily overpriced for what it is. I expected much more amenities and service.
Although the staff were friendly and courteous, the place was fairly bland. The onsen was mediocre and there were no refreshments afterwards unless you wanted to go to a vending machine. Even Dormy Inn provides refreshments after the onsen but at Towado Hotel having to pay for them and not even the nice ones is ridiculous when you have to pay so much to stay here. The same for the relaxation chair. It is coin-operated not complementary.
I would not recommend staying here if you’re looking for a luxury experience because although you pay for that, it’s definitely nowhere near that. Our Western style room was very basic, and it just didn’t have those special finishing touches I had hoped for.

My long-held wish came true and I was able to stay here.
I was impressed that this wonderful building still exists.
I felt comfortable with the friendly service of the staff.
I would definitely like to visit again in a different season.

Japanese-style Room *Lake May Not Be Completely Visible In Summer Months
I was originally planning to visit last summer, but I couldn't make it due to heavy rain, so I decided to visit this time (^ ^) I stayed for 2 nights, and the service level and food at the restaurant were very good. The main building is made of Akita cedar as expected (^ ^) The only thing that is a little disappointing is the front desk lol Mr. Bell is good! This is a hotel I will visit again. Oh, the bath is nice too. It's at the level where you might mistake it for a hot spring lol

I stayed in a standard twin room in the annex. Unfortunately, the bath here is not a hot spring, but from the open-air bath you can see Lake Towada below, and it felt very refreshing. We chose a mix of Japanese and Western cuisine for dinner, and Japanese cuisine for breakfast. There were plenty of ingredients from Akita and Aomori, but there was no Himemasu from Lake Towada that I had expected. This year's fishing is said to be poor, so that may be the reason. The main building, which opened in 1939, is designated as a registered tangible cultural property and is connected to the new building, so you can easily visit it. I think you can feel the craftsmanship of the shrine carpenters of the time.

I stayed in both a Japanese-style room in the main building and a Western-style room in the new building. The entrance to the main building is made with plenty of Akita cedar, and it's definitely worth a look. Usually, the new building entrance is used. The views from both the Japanese and Western rooms were great. I was fascinated by the sunset visible from the window, the changing colors of the sky and the lake, and watched it for a while. For the meal, the Himemasu pie wrapped was delicious.

The pillars of the main building are all 4 cm square made of Akita cedar. It has a nice, neat, and solid feel. The features in the alcove are also good. Each room is different, so I took a look at some of them on my way home. It's a shame that the bathroom part was so easy to make. The accommodation building was rebuilt in the Heisei era. Dinner was heartwarming just by the number of items... There are many disappointing points, and there are many flaws.
