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!

From Tazawa Lake Station transfer bus, the hotel is near the bus station, less than three minutes walk, nearby also bike rental, you can cycle along Tazawa Lake for a week, you can also take a bus to the nearby pizza shop, we booked a two-stay, very exquisite and delicious food, and private bath available for reservation

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.

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.

This elegant hot spring inn is surrounded by breathtaking mountain views, offering a truly tranquil experience. The thoughtful arrangement of two meals per night is a welcome touch; dinner features exquisite and delicious dishes made with fresh local ingredients, while breakfast provides a balanced and nutritious start to the day. The various hot spring pools, both indoors and outdoors, offer soothing and relaxing waters that wash away fatigue. The friendly and attentive staff further enhances the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, this is a highly recommended retreat that offers both relaxation and delicious cuisine.

The people at the inn were very friendly and it was a very comfortable inn. I thought the food in Tohoku would be strong, but it was delicious with a refined flavor.

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.

It is an old building that is not auto lock, but it is a clean and clean hotel. Dinner was delicious with many kinds of side dishes. The amount is not large, but I'm not eating much, so it was just right. The breakfast buffet was more variety and more full than dinner. About 30 minutes by car to Lake Towada. Compared to the lakeside hotel, the cospa is good.

酒店是舊式🍽️的溫泉酒店，環境很寧靜，有免費停車。 服務員雖然不懂英文，但主動嘗試解決我們需要解決的問題，也是不錯的。 酒店外的斜坡很陡斜，駕駛者須小心 酒店外沒有任何店舖，需要在酒店進食，東西雖然不算太好食，但充滿日式風味可以接受

All the employees were friendly and enjoyed. I was surprised at the deliciousness of the rice in the morning and evening, and I was impressed with the Akita rice. I think he's good at cooking. However, I thought it would be best if the location of the inn was along the street and there was a little more mountain side or greenery. I wanted to stay again.
