Hot Springs Hotels in Akita Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is located on a mountain. In late April, the cherry blossoms at the foot of the mountain were in full bloom, but there was still some snow around the hotel. Lake Tazawa in spring, especially on a sunny day, is absolutely stunning; the water is a deep blue, just like the sea. We had great weather during our stay. Every morning after breakfast, we'd take the hotel's shuttle bus to Tazawa-ko Station to catch the Komachi Shinkansen to Kakunodate, Akita, and Morioka to see the cherry blossoms. In the afternoons, we'd take the Shinkansen back to Tazawa-ko Station, then the shuttle back to the hotel for dinner and a hot spring bath. The hotel service was excellent, and considering the price, the food was quite good too!

It's very inconvenient without a car, but the calm and quiet environment was perfect for a relaxing night. It's just over an hour's drive from Lake Towada and Oirase Gorge, but for hotels in the same price range, the cleanliness and food were better than hotels around Lake Towada. The only downside is that there are only a limited number of places to eat within walking distance, so it's probably best to have dinner at the hotel or eat in advance. The room was clean and the food was delicious, so I was very satisfied.

I didn’t have good experience the last few times that I stayed in other hotels of Dormy Inn group in other Japan cities. I was afraid that I might get the same experience like last few times, if yes, it maybe the last time I stayed in Dormy Inn hotels. Not to mention the other hotel groups offer better service that I have experienced. Luckily, this stay was pleasant. Most staff were friendly with attentive service. Onsen was always the highlight. The only drawback was the the onsen was often crowded. The room was clean. The location was fine, 7 mins’ walk. Convenience store nearby.

Hotel and rooms are old but still nice. Direct Lake View is great. Unfortunately hotel is profit oriented instead of customer oriented. Be customer focused and profit will follow…. Outside onsen is basic but with nice view. Everything overpriced! (Set Dinner 11 000 Yen !! Choose please! Either you upgrade and can ask these over the top prices, or you leave everything in this very old state, but then do not expect people to pay these rates… Also music in corridor too loud. Wakes up everybody around 6AM…. Only hotel where there was no lounge happy hour with some free drinks and snacks….

The five-person room was a little cramped, but although the room was a bit old, it was very clean. Dinner and breakfast were both buffet style; the selection wasn't extensive, but the ingredients were fresh and tasty. There was a free drink bar and popsicles outside the large public bath, and inside the bath, there were children's toys for soaking, which is rare in Japanese hot springs. Overall, if you plan to visit nearby attractions, it's a great accommodation choice.

I enjoyed the moment while staying here a lot, the price is so cheap compared to what I got, big room, dinner and breakfast, private bath and public bath access. I believe if you enjoy drinking Sake you will love the bar

My husband and I stayed in a twin room, and the bed was big, the room was spacious and bright, and there was a large public bath in the hotel, so it was comfortable. There was a convenience store right in front of the hotel, so it was very convenient and good value for money. If I come here again, I would like to stay here again.

The hotel is close to the main road, which is very convenient for people who drive. The staff is friendly, the room is clean, the breakfast and dinner are delicious, and travelers who like hot springs should not miss it. It is very cost-effective and highly recommended!

The hotel is an old-fashioned hot spring hotel with a quiet environment and free parking. Although the waiter does not understand English, it is also good to take the initiative to try to solve the problem we need to solve. The slope outside the hotel is very steep and steep, drivers must be careful  There is no store outside the hotel, you need to eat at the hotel, although the food is not too good, but full of Japanese flavor can accept 

Yugetsu Guesthouse is a rather old-fashioned place, reasonably clean, not many guests, has a hot spring, but the water in the shower isn't hot. Dinner and breakfast are decent. It's very close to Lake Towada, just a short walk from the doorway, located on the border of two prefectures (Aomori and Akita).
