Semboku Hotels with Free Breakfast

This hot spring hotel is in a very good location, right by the lake. The owner gave us a room with a beautiful view of the lake. The hotel is quite decent, the facilities are not new, but they are very clean. The service is also very satisfactory, but it cannot be said to be very exquisite in details. The entrance to the room is relatively narrow, making it difficult to place suitcases. The hot spring is very good and very comfortable. Dinner was okay, but breakfast was a bit basic. I rode around Lake Tazawa for a week and found several hot spring hotels that were out of operation. It is probably due to the impact of the epidemic in the past few years, which has led to a reduction in market supply, while demand continues to recover. Therefore, it is obvious that the price of hot spring hotels in Japan is now higher than before the epidemic. It is at least twice as expensive, but the service quality is slightly lower than before the epidemic.

I stayed to see the samurai residence of kakunodate with my work. Location is good, about 5 minutes walk from the station, access is very good. The samurai residence street is not far away. It seemed to have not been renovated, and the interior was beautiful and the staff was kind. It was good to have Akita Komachi onigiri, pork soup, and igakuko for breakfast.
