Hotels With Parking in Akita Prefecture, Japan

The location was fantastic, connected directly to the station, bus interchange and shopping malls. The room was probably the biggest I have stayed at in Japan, which was great when sharing with a friend. The tatami sitting area was great to sit in and enjoy the station view, with the trains coming and going. Was not disturbed by any train noise however. They also gave a sheet noting the times you can view specific train models from your room window. Staff were friendly and helpful, despite the language barrier. Would stay here again next time I'm in Akita.

The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Odate City, surrounded by numerous restaurants and shopping areas. We drove ourselves, and free parking was provided. The onsen facilities were adequate. While breakfast and dinner were not served, complimentary ramen and rice were available in the evenings. The staff were also very friendly and polite. It's a hotel I would recommend to friends.

The room was okay, pretty standard. They have hot springs, but using them is such a hassle. Women need a key card to enter, and you have to go to the front desk every single day to get a new one. If you don't, you can't get in – it's incredibly inconvenient. Plus, there are only two massage chairs, and one of them was broken. Why isn't it fixed? Just one working massage chair is nowhere near enough. And there's only one indoor hot spring, which feels very basic.

The hotel has a very good location. Although not immediately next to the JR station, it's a short and easy walk to get to the hotel from Akita Station. When you see the Museum of Art in the photo, you are arriving. Also, the famous Senshū Park is just across from the street. It's a grand hotel with nice rooms. The staff are friendly and professional. It's not far from the bar district. There are many interesting bars over there. After a couple of drinks, you can just walk back to the hotel.

The hotel itself was nice and clean. The rooms are spacious. There's a heater and dehumidifier in the room. Food is buffet breakfast and dinner. We were in the west wing which requires a bit of a walk to get to the room. And the main inconvenience is there is a flight of stairs to get up before having an elevator to the room floor. The outdoor onsen is in a different section to the indoor onsen. The hotel is certainly geared for skiers as everything closes during the middle of the day (souvenir shop, onsen). So make sure you have activities booked in advance. The website of the hotel is also a bit confusing with the number in-house activities available - be sure to check with the front counter first. Peak hour staff has good command in English but need translation for night staff. A few things of note: - the shuttle is very busy at the 3pm and 10am run - make sure you pre-book - there is a shuttle to tsurunoyu iriguchi onsen 鶴の湯温泉 from a bus stop near the hotel, no need to take the public bus

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.

Beautiful if somewhat remote location. This is where you go to relax, unwind & unplug. Onsen is beautiful but not much else to do. Looks like a classic old lake house with views, dated ( looks like 1970s or early 80s) but clean. Bathroom is tiny. Does not serve lunch and set menu western or Japanese dinner is very expensive (¥11000 or ¥8500). Need a car to get there and back -35-45mins to the ferry or Oirase Stream.

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.

If you're visiting Akita in the summer, this hotel is a fantastic choice, especially since Senshu Park's lotus pond, brimming with beautiful lotus flowers, is literally right at its doorstep. It's also just a short walk to the Prefectural Art Museum, making the location incredibly convenient. The breakfast was excellent, with a great variety of options. The only minor point was that the onsen (hot spring bath) felt a bit crowded, likely due to it being peak season.

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.
