"The room and the staff's service were excellent. The large public bath was also very pleasant and enjoyable. We used the second parking lot outside the hotel grounds, but it was completely unpaved, which will be very inconvenient in bad weather. We request that paving work be done as soon as possible. Breakfast: The quantity and variety were both insufficient, falling short even of the level of free breakfasts offered at other business hotels. Improvements are needed. Since it's a business hotel, using frozen food is acceptable, but please make the menu more varied so that guests don't get bored during long stays. In particular, the Western-style breakfast, with its heavy main dish served in large portions, is unsuitable for the elderly and women. This is a long-awaited hotel in front of Oga Station, and I would like to continue using it in the future. Keep up the good work!"

"The bath was very comfortable. The food was very event-like and interesting. The taste was average. I was disappointed that I couldn't have breakfast."

"The staff who checked us in and served us breakfast were wonderful. However, when we tried to use the bar in the evening, we were disappointed that the staff were constantly chatting with locals and completely ignored us. There was only one other group there and they weren't busy, so it was a shame that they treated us that way intentionally. In the end, it didn't feel like we could order anything, so we gave up and left, but even then, no one came over to us. Even if you book the most expensive room, you get this kind of treatment, and I felt that this hotel doesn't offer service commensurate with the price."

"In the summer, there are horseflies and other insects flying around in other open-air baths, but there were zero insects in this hot spring. Also, dinner and breakfast were delicious, especially the meat at dinner, the vegetables and rice at breakfast, and the coffee were excellent."

"I was satisfied with the good hot water and delicious food. The food was just as delicious as the entertainment. The seaweed in the miso soup in the morning was chewy and the simpler it was, the tastier it was. When I walked around the area, I could hear the sound of hot water gushing out. The lady at the local liquor store was also kind and funny. There was also a live Namahage performance, which I'm sure was only available on certain days of the week, and it was very immersive."

"Friday, July 2024 / Oga Hotel (Trip to Hokkaido, Aomori, and Akita) [Accommodation fee] 31,900 yen/2 people. 1 night, 2 meals. ・[Sakiraku 60] Enjoy seasonal ingredients ■ Savor the specialty stone-grilled and charcoal-grilled dishes at the dining room "Shunsai Senshin" [Standard] ・[Non-smoking] Main building Japanese-Western room [Twin bed + 3 tatami mats] [Parking] Free [Comments] Upon entering the lobby, you'll be greeted by a Namahage doll. (It seems to be a popular photo spot, so we had a hotel staff member take our photo for us.) From the Japanese-Western room on the 7th floor, you can see the Sea of ​​Japan. We ate at the restaurant, but for Oga's specialty "stone-grilled" meal, groups gather in groups at mealtime, and they demonstrate the cooking in the center, then bring the finished stone-grilled bowls to each person's table. The taste was incredible! I'm not particularly fond of fish dishes, but this was surprisingly delicious. The outdoor bath was too hot at night, so I couldn't soak for long, but the indoor bath was too hot in the morning. It was a little salty because it had a lot of salt. I stayed on a Friday, and as it was before the summer holidays, about half the cars were parked, and there were also tour groups. If you follow the navigation system, you will be directed to the back of the hotel, which is a long detour, so be careful. It was only a short walk to the Oga Onsen Community Hall "Gofu." It was close enough to go in a yukata, and they also sold tickets at the hotel. [Previous visitor location] Port Tower Selion [Next visitor location] Oga Onsen Community Hall "Gofu""

"Take the Oga Line from Akita Station to Oga Station. The hotel has a shuttle bus at 2:45 PM, but reservations need to be made two days in advance. Thanks to Ctrip customer service for helping me make the reservation. The journey from Oga Station to the hotel takes about 25 minutes. Oga Onsen-kyo is truly a declining onsen-kyo; there are only a few hotels, practically nothing else! If you don't have a car, choose your hotel carefully. Don't change hotels, otherwise you'll have nowhere to go during the day—don't ask me how I know. The hotel is just an ordinary hotel."

"An absolute gem! The views stunning, and food is exquisite. The rooms are all recently renovated with wood and in a minimalist style. The hotel had a faint fragrance of cedar? Our rooms each had ocean-facing private baths and panoramic sunset views. I feel so recharged and replenished. The setting is remote but actually not that hard to get to given Japan’s excellent transportation system. It’s 3.8 hours from Tokyo to Akita and then a lovely 50 minutes local train ride to Oga. The ryokan will pick you up. (We opted to book a local shuttle bus as we were seven people with luggage and opted to stop at the Namahage museum beforehand to learn about local lore.) The hotel has a really fun aquarium nearby which kids loved—polar bears, penguins are the main attractions but we also enjoyed the jellyfish and deep sea local fish exhibits. Highly, highly recommend staying here. The staff was incredibly helpful and gracious. Teisui is in on my list as a place to revisit."

"We stayed as a family of four: a young child, a middle school-aged boy, and myself. Due to a misunderstanding on my part, we were given the wrong room type. Since we had a young child, this was a problem, but when I consulted the front desk staff, they kindly and quickly resolved the issue, providing us with a room that met our needs for only a small additional charge. It was a real lifesaver and made our trip much more enjoyable. Dinner was a barbecue with beef, pork, chicken, and seafood, and 90 minutes of self-serve, all-you-can-drink (including alcohol). There was more food than we could eat! Breakfast was a moderately sized buffet, and although we don't usually eat much for breakfast, we all ended up overeating. The hotel was very clean and the location was excellent. Neither my son nor I usually get up early, but we took a walk on the beach across the street early in the morning, searching for seashells. The children seemed quite satisfied! However, the parking lot is gravel, making it difficult to move around with a stroller. If you know beforehand, you can drop off your child in front of the hotel. The children said they had a great time, so overall, it was a very positive experience for our family!"
