2-Star Hotels in Akita Prefecture, Japan

During winter, the road for the last 800 meters before reaching the hotel is closed, and you must walk in. Guests need to park at Okama Onsen first. Before arrival, you are required to inform the hotel of your check-in time so that a staff member can guide you on foot to the property. The staff will help carry your luggage, but if you have many bags, it’s best to inform them in advance. The highlight of this stay is definitely the walk to the hotel. You walk deep into the forest along towering walls of snow on both sides, and eventually discover the onsen hidden in the woods. It feels truly special and secluded. The lobby area is not very large, and the number of staff is quite limited, but overall the service was very good. Dinner was served at a counter bar, and the chef was extremely friendly and spoke good English. The receptionist at the lobby, who is from Taiwan, speaks English, Chinese, and Japanese fluently. She explained everything clearly, helped carry our luggage on the way out, and even assisted with clearing snow off our car. Personally, I found the public onsen area to be a bit disappointing. The floor was icy and slippery, which felt somewhat unsafe. However, the private onsen in the room was excellent — very private, spacious for an in-room bath, with a beautiful view and wonderfully fragrant mineral water. The room itself was spacious, quiet, and peaceful. Mobile signal does not work inside the hotel, but the hotel provides Wi-Fi, which was stable and fast. Both breakfast and dinner were very good, and the hotel responded to emails and accommodated our special dietary requests, which we really appreciated. The only regret was that the snow was extremely deep during our visit, making it hard to fully see and imagine the surrounding scenery.

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.

I was leaving early the next morning, so I searched for a good value place to stay without meals and found this place. It's a little far from the station, but I was able to relax in the bottom bunk of a bunk bed. There's a kitchen, microwave, cooking utensils, etc., so I think it's suitable for people who want to do a lot of things themselves.

The woman at the inn was blunt, but she was normal, and if the location is gone, you can't find an inexpensive inn. The difficulty of less 々 was blind. Please continue to do your best.

The hotel/ryokan (really seems like a mix of both) is a good base for exploring the surrounding area. It is very close to the train station, but located in a quiet area. Thus, taking the train to Akita, Kakunodate, Akita-Komagatake or Lake Tazawa, or Yokote is easy (the cheap local train does run quite infrequently though) and the Hanabium in Daisen itself is also interesting. Your experience in the hotel will depend a bit on your Japanese language proficiency though, as the nice grandmother running the place is great to interact with and accommodating, but can only speak Japanese. The breakfast is prepared freshly for you, so you have to give a breakfast time, but it also meant that it tasted well. Overall a especially for the price good place to stay at!

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.

The hotel is a bit dated but clean and the staff are friendly. The hotel offers a complimentary ramen which was a surprise and delicious. The onsen is very nice and located on the 5th floor. One thing to point out is that the hotel does not have noise restriction hours. While I’m not a light sleeper, Japanese walls are thin. My room was on the 5th floor so between traffic to onsen, loud speaking Japanese tourists and children running around, the noise level did not subside until after midnight and started again around 5:30am. Bear in mind, I stayed over a holiday weekend so guests visiting on regular weekends may have a different experience.

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.

Hotels in Tianze Lake Plateau It takes about half an hour to get there by bus at Tinze Lake Station Arrive at the ”Upper Plateau Hot Spring Station” and get off the bus and walk for about 4 minutes. The hotel is in the mountains, all the snow is a lot of secret. The hotel is the kind of traditional Japanese-style hotel, with dinner and breakfast very rich The room is tatami, which is what is often seen in the Chinese and Japanese dramas, the atmosphere is very good. The quilt was already simmered at the beginning of entering the room, very warm The big bath will have a little sulfur smell as soon as you enter, and I heard that it is effective for skin and muscle soreness The bath has internal and external soup, the external soup is full of snow, it really feels like winter. The meal is delicious, the environment is comfortable, the staff is kind, I highly recommend it to everyone
