Hotels With Spa in Akita Prefecture, Japan

I stayed for several nights because I was going to visit the Oga Aquarium (lol). It was very clean, the staff were friendly, and I was able to relax and rest during my stay. I'm so grateful that a business hotel has opened in Oga City!

The New Tamagawa Onsen Hotel has the same origin as Tamagawa Onsen and is famous for having the largest amount of water spray and the strongest acidity in Japan. The hot spring is the most important thing. It is a hot spring treatment area with ”the best acidic hot spring in Japan”. Its acidity is stronger than any hot spring I have ever bathed in. There are 11 types of baths (3 types of hot springs: 100%, 50%, and weakly acidic, open-air baths, and indoor natural rock baths). The bathhouse is built with cypress, exuding the cypress atmosphere. The high ceiling is a masterpiece. Sleeping on the natural rock bed indoors is a wonderful experience that can kill cancer cells in the body. The hotel is located deep in the mountains and old forests. When the maple leaves come in autumn, they are so beautiful that they are intoxicating! The Ugo Kotsu bus stop is directly in front of the hotel. Hotel bus → Tamagawa Onsen (5 buses a day). In addition to the hotel shuttle bus, there are two other bus routes, but the time is limited, so you need to check in advance. If you take the bus, the detour is longer, about 15 minutes, but if you walk, it takes about 15 minutes, and you can drive on a basically flat mountain road. There is also a visitor center on the way, and you can enjoy the nature along the way. When we arrived at the Tamagawa Onsen Natural Research Road, we saw geothermal heat erupting everywhere and the air was filled with the smell of preserved eggs. It was a very healing Tamagawa Onsen!

Although we visited during the snowy season, we had a very pleasant stay. We were able to relax in the room, restaurant, and open-air bath, while enjoying the pure white scenery. The complimentary midnight noodles were also available at a food stall within the hotel, and were delicious.

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.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were all very friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable, which made my stay even more relaxing. The facilities were well maintained, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was calm and inviting. I truly appreciated the excellent service and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. I look forward to staying here again in the future!

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.

We booked two Japanese-style rooms with bathroom equipment, but when we arrived at the hotel, we told us that there was only one room with bathroom equipment. We didn't figure it out when we booked it. Trip didn't contact the hotel.

Nice little hotel. Good dinner with buffet breakfast. Additional nice touch is the free to use washing machine and dryer which is great!

This hotel is located in Ingabao City, Akita Prefecture. I remember walking from Ingabao Station to the hotel for about 15 minutes. It is an old hotel, the atrium is quite big, the room is large and clean, there is a hot spring, but I did not enjoy it, it is a pity. I stayed in mid-August Golden Week, and the price was higher. There is a restaurant inside, breakfast, lunch, dinner are available. I have paid for breakfast buffet, 1,500, there are many types, not bad. There are large supermarkets and some restaurants such as Sukiya, breakfast, lunch and dinner are available, cheap and good quality. Attached is the photo of the restaurant's breakfast, and meal time.
