Yuze Hotel: Akita's Four Seasons Delight
Akita Prefecture／Kazuno CityImmerse yourself in the rejuvenating hot spring waters of various charming baths, accompanied by the tranquil sounds of Yuze Valley and the breathtaking natural beauty of Towada Hachimantai, for a truly blissful experience.
Listen to the gentle murmur of the Yoneshiro River flowing right before you, and savor the changing seasons with all five senses. The abundant nature of Towada-Hachimantai and its free-flowing hot spring source will soothe both body and mind. As the name “Yuze” is said to have come from “hot water bubbling up from the river shallows,” this Onsen is rich in volume and has long been praised as a “beauty bath,” known for being especially gentle on the skin. At our creative Akita local cuisine buffet, enjoy signature dishes such as Kazuno’s original Kiritanpo Nabe, along with locally branded ingredients like Hinai Jidori chicken and Hachimantai pork, plus seasonal dishes made with ingredients at their peak.
The welcome service offered plum wine, black vinegar, juice, sweets, and ice cream. We arrived early and were able to relax until dinner even after taking a bath. We stayed in a Room with an open-air bath, and with free-flowing natural hot spring water, we could enjoy the Onsen anytime. The Room was excellent. The food was buffet-style, featuring local vegetables and specialties, along with many delicious dishes made with health in mind. I don’t often get the chance to visit Akita, but this is an Accommodation I would definitely like to return to. Thank you very much.
Yahoo!トラベルユー... 8/15/2026I was looking for an Accommodation to stay at an Onsen during Silver Week while touring by motorcycle, and chose this Hotel because it had such high Review ratings. It turned out to be the perfect choice—I’m truly glad I stayed here.The Room was spacious, spotless, and had a great view with an amazing open feel. Even the water in the Room tasted great. The Onsen after relaxing in the Room was wonderful—especially the open-air bath. The hot bath temperature was so comfortable I could have stayed in forever. I was also surprised by how large the indoor bath was, almost like a pool. The washing area was clean as well.The buffet meals offered a wide variety of dishes with well-balanced flavors, and I could enjoy both breakfast and dinner at a relaxed pace in a quiet atmosphere. The domestic beef teppan-yaki for dinner was tender with just the right amount of fat—refined and delicious—and really showed how high-quality the dining is.While many Hotels these days have lots of foreign staff at the front desk, that wasn’t the case here, and I found the service very pleasant. With excellent Onsen, food, and well-equipped Facilities throughout the building, this is an Accommodation I would recommend to many people.

Our Signature Bath: Yuze Onsen
The name “Yuze” is said to come from the way hot water once welled up from the river shallows. This Onsen offers an abundant flow of water and is exceptionally gentle on the skin. In the open-air bath, you can listen to the murmuring stream and experience the changing seasons with all five senses, surrounded by forested mountain ridges rising overhead.
A creative buffet and Japanese set meals featuring carefully selected seasonal ingredients from Akita.
Meals are served for both breakfast and dinner, featuring Akita’s distinctive cuisine made with local ingredients and the flavors of Northern Tohoku (often described as slightly more strongly seasoned). In addition to “Kiritanpo Nabe,” a hot pot said to have originated in Kazuno, we offer Hinai Jidori—one of Japan’s three great native chicken breeds—and branded pork such as Hachimantai Pork. We also serve Akitakomachi rice, local vegetables, wild mountain plants, and regional delicacies so you can fully enjoy the quality and taste of these ingredients. Please enjoy the blessings of nature in the Towada–Hachimantai area.
