By Lake Tazawa. A half-read book and a deep breath. Books and coffee, Lake Tazawa moment by moment.

Katakuri no Hana stands quietly on the shore of Lake Tazawa, Japan’s deepest lake. From every lake-view guest room, enjoy sweeping views of the beautiful lapis-blue water as it changes its expression from morning to noon to evening. Open your favorite book by the window and take a deep breath, surrounded by the aroma of coffee brewed with fresh spring water. After unwinding in the large communal bath or open-air bath fed by natural Onsen, savor dishes featuring Akita’s seasonal flavors in our calm dining area. We also offer a private panoramic bath with breathtaking views over Lake Tazawa. Step away from everyday noise and rediscover your own time at this Accommodation—neither a hidden hot-spring retreat nor a large Hotel—where you simply spend time gazing at the lake. With heartfelt hospitality, enjoy a special stay filled with stillness like deep calm waters, bringing quiet balance to your mind.

  • Located just across the road from Shirahama Beach at Lake Tazawa, we enjoyed great views from the Room and lobby and were able to relax and take in the scenery.Both dinner and breakfast were very delicious. The tableware was also beautifully presented, making it a pleasure for the eyes as well.The Onsen was not too hot, so we could soak at a leisurely pace and feel refreshed.

  • The meals were delicious! The rice was especially tasty, and everything was carefully prepared. The amenities were great, too. The Room was clean.It was my first time visiting Lake Tazawa, but I might end up coming every year.It was a truly wonderful trip.Just one thing: it was a shame that the edge of the tatami in the Room was peeling.

Notice from the Accommodation

  • The lounge has been renovated! How to enjoy your time at the Lake Side Lounge

    In April 2026, “Lake Side Lounge” opened as a new place to enjoy the tranquility of Lake Tazawa.
    Wrapped in the deep blue of Japan’s deepest lake, it is a study-like space where you can reconnect with your true self.

    Here, forget the clock and indulge in the luxury of satisfying your senses at your own pace.

    Read: Pick up a carefully selected book and lose yourself in its story.
    Take photos: Capture the ever-changing “blue” of the lake through picture-frame windows.
    Simply unwind: Gaze at the water and surrender to a stillness as calm as a deep lull.

    [For Our Guests: A Community Gathering Place]
    “Lake Side Lounge” also serves as a community gathering place where travelers and local residents naturally cross paths.
    For this reason, we regularly host events such as markets and workshops—offering moments when you can experience the area’s vibrant spirit.

    A quiet, study-like retreat—and a warm place for connection.
    Bringing both together is the new style of Accommodation we aspire to create.

    If you happen upon an event during your stay, please feel free to step in.
    We hope that encounters unique to this place will add even more depth and color to your journey.
