Around Akakura Onsen Ski Resort × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

This was my third visit this year. I enjoyed the Japanese cuisine on my previous stay, so I chose the kaiseki course again this time. When a seasoned male staff member served our meal, he said, “You visited in May last time, didn’t you?” I was truly touched that he took the time to check (and I’m sorry—I mistakenly said I came in June). The attentive service, breathtaking views, excellent hot spring water quality, spotless changing area, and beautiful interior—this Hotel is the best for me. I hope it will always remain a calm and relaxing place.

This Silver Week, we hadn’t planned to travel, but our family days off lined up again, so we hurriedly searched—without high expectations—for a pet-friendly Hotel… A room opened up at Alpenblick, so we made a Reservation. Since we’d never stayed in a trailer house before, we were pretty anxious… But it was incredibly clean, with no noise from neighboring rooms and plenty of space inside! We could park our own car right next to it, which was very convenient. It really felt like having a secret hideout, and the whole family loved it. Highly recommended!!

The Onsen, meals, and hospitality were all excellent. I would like to stay again.

I stayed for two nights to climb Mt. Myoko. As a guest here for hiking, I was most grateful to be able to use the free laundry that dries everything perfectly. Thank you very much. The handsome young owner, who resembles actor Ryohei Otani, provides attentive service with hospitality like a five-star Hotel, and his answers to questions are reassuring. I chose the boxed dinner, and it was generous in portion—more than enough to refuel after the climb. The taste was excellent as well. In particular, the miso soup with thin bamboo shoots (hime-takenoko?) was outstanding. The Onsen is rated higher than Akita’s Nyuto Onsen by Nikkei newspaper, and I completely agree. Soaking in the water made my post-hike fatigue disappear at once. The view from the open-air bath is also amazing! I think this sense of openness is what makes it better than Nyuto Onsen. Next time, I would love to visit during the autumn foliage season.

The Facility itself feels a bit dated, but the meals were delicious, with many dishes featuring seasonal local ingredients. The Onsen water was also excellent, and the Room had a reliable internet connection. Overall, we were very satisfied.

I visited during a solo motorcycle trip. Since it was near a ski resort, it seemed off-season, so there were few guests, and I was able to relax and fully enjoy the Onsen. Although I chose a no-meal Plan, I received complimentary coffee and freshly baked croissants in the morning. The croissants were freshly baked and delicious. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

Thank you very much for your hospitality, even on an off-season weekday.
