Around Hachimannuma × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly rated for rooms and amenities at Hotel·Ryokan

We had a truly wonderful stay. Not only the Room, but also the bathroom and balcony were spacious, allowing us to relax at ease. The hinoki bathtub had a lovely fragrance, and the public bath was just the right size for unwinding comfortably. We enjoyed delicious offerings during afternoon tea and aperitif time, and the Western-style dinner made excellent use of quality ingredients with wonderful seasoning—every dish was satisfying. We would love to visit again just for this dining experience. Thanks to the attentive service from the staff, we truly felt this is a superb Hotel. Thank you very much.

We stayed with No Meals Included, but we were able to enjoy complimentary late-night ochazuke. The broth was rich and very delicious. There were three of us, and since the washing area for the private open-air bath was a separate shower booth, we ended up taking turns one by one. However, the Onsen itself and the mist shower were both very pleasant. Next time, we’d like to stay again with meals included!

Thank you for taking care of us on our mountain trip. From our room we could see Mt. Iwate, and from the open-air bath we enjoyed views of Hachimantai, Mt. Chausu, Maemoriyama, and Nishimoriyama—the location was wonderful and truly relaxing. Every dish was delicious, lightly seasoned and easy to enjoy; the Iwate beef roast beef and the wild grape curry were especially outstanding. The staff were kind and attentive, and we could really feel their love for the hotel and their hospitality toward guests. We rated it 4 points because the lotion provided in the bath area wasn’t very good, and since the entrances to the men’s and women’s baths look the same, several people almost went into the wrong one.

I had long had this Accommodation on my list to visit, and chose it for a trip to celebrate my retirement. With no worries about the weather, I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the baths. There was also a free Shuttle Service from Shin-Tamagawa to Tamagawa, and the vigorously bubbling Onsen was truly impressive. Both the quality and quantity of the meals were excellent, and I was able to fully enjoy Akita’s local cuisine.

There was a complimentary drink service next to the front desk, and our children were very happy with it. The hotel also had plenty of kid-friendly facilities, such as a stamp rally and an arcade, which was really helpful. In particular, there was a great selection of books on the shelves, including many children’s books, which we appreciated. The meals also featured plenty of seasonal ingredients and were easy to enjoy. The hot spring bath area was spacious and convenient to use. We would definitely like to visit again.

On August 26, we stayed for one night for two people on a great-value Plan (JPY 4,800) through a Yahoo Travel promotion, including both breakfast and dinner. The Room was a 10-tatami space with an enclosed veranda area furnished with a table and chairs. The wallpaper was new, everything was spotless, and it felt very comfortable. The Onsen we had been looking forward to did not disappoint—the large public bath was spacious and relaxing. The open-air rock bath was also very large and truly soothing. And then dinner—the buffet we had been waiting for! There was a wide selection of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes, all delicious. In particular, the high-quality beef could be enjoyed as sukiyaki or teppanyaki-style grilled on an iron plate—and seconds were unlimited, making it the best dinner ever. Soft drinks, ice cream, desserts, fruit, and more were also plentiful; considering how inexpensive this Plan was, we honestly felt almost sorry to receive so much. Breakfast was equally impressive: all-you-can-eat salmon roe along with tuna and squid for luxurious seafood bowls. There were so many other options that we couldn’t possibly try everything. Items were replenished immediately when they ran low—truly attentive service in every way. We were simply amazed throughout our stay. Every staff member worked efficiently and professionally; it was a pleasure to see. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us.

I went with modest expectations because the dinner buffet offered all-you-can-eat crab, but it exceeded them. There were surprisingly large crab legs, pork and beef shabu-shabu, and teppanyaki. It also included all-you-can-drink beer and local sake, which delighted my wife, who loves both crab and drinks.\nThe Onsen was excellent. The Room was old, but the tatami mats had been replaced, so we stayed comfortably.\nI would love to visit again during the autumn foliage season.

We received many joyful photos of our grandchildren, and my spouse and I are extremely satisfied. The friendliness of the international staff seemed to double the fun, which made us very happy. Thank you very much!

I’m very satisfied that I was finally able to stay at Kyounso. Above all, I was able to enjoy the rich sulfur hot spring three times, and every meal was delicious—especially the char sashimi, which I don’t usually get to eat. I’d love to visit again. I regret returning home without properly expressing my gratitude to the staff.
