2-Star Hotels in Akita Prefecture, Japan

We stayed two nights. It was a great experience. Room itself is good, bed is comfortable. Got onsen and free half portion of ramen and rice after 7:30pm, which is a bonus. Ramen is delicious. However, service for a part-time staff (a girl) was bad! This is the first time we experienced such bad service in Japan. First, her greeting was mean and rude, with no smile on her face and kind of ignoring the customer. Second, after we got the room key and get ready to take the elevator, we didn't know the way. She just kept ignoring us which a normal staff would show you the way to the elevator right after finished check-in. Lastly, after we entered into the room, we found out that the toilet seat was loosen. So we went down to the lobby to tell her about these. She was so unhelpful that she did not even want to come up to our room to see what happen, but just tild us to use the toilet in the lobby instead! At the end, luckily there was another senior full time staff just on duty, we told him about this, and he immediately went up to our room to see what happen. Will give this senior staff a 5 star. So other than that part-time staff (girl), all were pretty good.

Everything at the hotel is very satisfactory, except that it is a pity that it is more than 2 kilometers away from the train station. It is worth it for the hotel conditions. There is a bus directly to Akita for 1.7 kilometers.

I've stayed here a few times, but the baths are always crowded, so I can't really relax. The parking lots in front and behind the hotel are always full. I wish they would separate the parking lots for people who just want to take a bath and aren't staying overnight.

Normal hotel with a good breakfast, prepared by a friendly member of staff. Everything was available in the room, a bit far from the train station, but you know that beforehand. Unfortunately I had a room on the 7th floor and couldn't get another one. The room windows open onto a kind of roof garden that runs past all the windows and is accessible. So anyone can climb out of the window and go into the next room. Sleeping with the window open is therefore uncomfortable. If you don't want to do without it, you should clarify this beforehand; from floor number 8 onwards, each room has its own balcony.

It was very beautiful and the room was large and very comfortable. There is no pass shower in the room, but there is a large communal bath and I was able to enjoy the feeling of a hot spring. The staff was kind and polite. I would like to stay with breakfast next time.

On May 15th, I was taken care of by my husband and wife, my sister and daughter, and I couldn't eat it with a modern building, such as dinner kiritanpo and other wild plant tempura, and sashimi. The breakfast and the number of items were large, and I was very satisfied with the female owner's son. At the foot of Mt. Moriyoshi, there was still snow and I couldn't take a walk on the top of the mountain with the gondola that opened from June 10th, but when the mountain opened, I could see the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean ３６０ and Mt. Moriyoshi, where you can take a walk on alpine plants. In winter, I would like to take a gondola to visit Zao on the ice tree.

The bath also has a great view. In the evening, we had curry (with ham cutlet), which was delicious! They also had kiritanpo sets available as gifts, so I gave one to an acquaintance.

Really nice home stay in a lovely little village. The host was friendly and helpful. Even though we turned up super late, he was very gracious and welcomed us into his home. Thank you!

すごく綺麗で、ロッカーが大きい。カプセルベッドも広くて圧迫感はない。シャワーも着替える場所があり、夜鳴きそばや隣接施設での温泉入浴も無料。高コスパ。

This very homestay style accommodation started some 48 years ago by the grandma. Two of her daugthers, Kaori and Katura now runs this cosy place with about 10 rooms. The stars are the two Akita inu, Haru-chan (father), 7 years old. And his daughter, Hana-chan (6 years old). it will take some time to warm up with them, similar to Shiba inu. We got to spend sometime with both of them during our stay, including giving them some treats, watched Haru-chan drinks ice cream with ice (it was a hot day). Chatted with Kaori and grandma to find out more about them. We had dinner and breakfast which was home cooked style. It has been a pleasant stay. Very friendly and down to earth family. This is highly recommended if you are into Akita Inu and enjoy homestay.
