Since I always end up going to Hokkaido, this was my first stay in Akita. I chose this Hotel because it’s close to the station for riding the Gono Line. Unfortunately, heavy rain caused the Gono Line to be suspended that day, but I’m truly glad I stayed here. All the staff were pleasant and attentive, with just the right sense of distance. The lounge had a very relaxing atmosphere, and both tea time and cocktail time were extremely satisfying. There were about 10 kinds of Akita local sake, and they mentioned that their recommendations keep increasing over time. They also offered shochu, draft beer, bottled beer, sparkling wine, wine, and more. Just as other Reviews said before my trip, everything was delicious—marinated fresh fish, chilled pork shabu-shabu, iburigakko with cheese, warm chicken dishes and fish dishes. A lady next to me said she has stayed here many times. It’s close to the station and you can get there without getting wet in the rain. I arrived at 1:00 p.m. planning only to leave my luggage, but they told me my Room was ready so I could check in early. After strolling around Kubota Castle Ruins and the park right in front of the Hotel, I went back to the station and bought a cute Akita dog T-shirt and tote bag for my grandchild. Breakfast also featured a lineup full of Akita specialties—kiritanpo and onigiri where you can choose both rice type and fillings—so it had been a while since I felt completely full from breakfast. There were still items I didn’t get to try yet, so I’ll be back again—and next time I’ll ride the Gono Line.

Stayed for 2 nights. Despite a significant delay in check-in due to transportation issues, the staff provided courteous assistance. It rained during the stay, but umbrellas were available for borrowing. The breakfast and lounge area was excellent. The design was appealing, there were books available, and the daily-changing breakfast buffet offered a good variety of dishes, making it highly satisfactory.

It was a very comfortable Hotel, except that it’s about a 15-minute walk from the station. The Accommodation rate was also very reasonable. Recommended for business travelers. The Room is spacious. The chair is good. The bath is a bit large. The pillow didn’t quite suit me, but overall I was very satisfied.
