The Room, the food, and the staff were all excellent. The only disappointment was that you can’t see the outside view from the large public bath. However, with this Room Plan, we could use a private bath for free and received a welcome drink, along with other nice extras we didn’t notice at the time of Reservation, which made it a great trip. I’d love to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you very much.

I stayed for two nights for my mother's memorial service. Having used several accommodations in southern Akita Prefecture before and often being disappointed, I was hesitant to book a business hotel this time as well. However, due to the circumstances, I reluctantly made a reservation here after much searching. I had sent my luggage in advance via courier and requested it be placed in the room due to its weight. At the front desk, the staff's friendly and non-formal attitude provided a sense of reassurance. Upon checking into the room, I found it slightly spacious for a twin room in a business hotel. While there was some age to it, it was clean and comfortable enough for my stay. One minor inconvenience was that the room key was not automatic; you had to manually lock it when leaving (this could use improvement). Although there was an en-suite bath in the room, I opted for their public bath with artificial onsen water—it was quite relaxing! However, there were only five washing stations which felt cramped at times as soap or water from neighboring users would occasionally splash over. The women's section reportedly had just two washing stations, leading to wait times during use. The meals were surprisingly good—not your typical business hotel fare of rice balls and mediocre bread but proper dishes that changed daily even during multiple night stays! This variety kept things interesting and enjoyable throughout. To be honest, I initially expected this place to be like any other business hotel: small rooms with single beds crammed together and uninspired meals—but they completely exceeded my expectations. Since I'll need accommodations every one or two years when visiting this area (though there's no family home left), I've decided without hesitation that I'll choose this hotel again next time!

This was our second stay, after visiting once two years ago. With so few places that allow dogs, it’s great to be able to stay here at a reasonable price—and the food is delicious. At first glance you might think, “It looks pretty ordinary,” but every dish is carefully prepared with thoughtful touches. The head chef was friendly and chatted with us, so we enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere throughout the meal. The carefully selected local sake was also excellent. The bath is small, but it’s a hot spring and really helped us unwind. Amazing value for money. We’d love to stay again.

I recently stayed at Hotel Foresta Chokai. Above all, the staff were incredibly kind, and I had a very comfortable stay. From the moment I arrived, they took great care of me, and it’s the kind of wonderful hotel that makes you think, “I want to stay here again.” The room was comfortable, and the setting—surrounded by nature with views that let you truly feel Mt. Chokai—was fantastic. The famous Hottai Falls is also nearby and easy to reach by car, so it’s a great place to enjoy sightseeing along with your stay. And most of all, the hot springs were amazing! The open-air bath was especially relaxing, and I was happy to hear that guests can use the private family bath free of charge as well. I enjoyed the hot springs at night, and by chance it was quiet during the first-bath hours in the morning too, so I went again. Being able to enjoy them both at night and in the morning made me feel like I got an extra-special experience. This is a warm and welcoming hotel where you can relax in beautiful natural surroundings, enjoy excellent hot springs, and be treated kindly by everyone on staff. I really loved my stay this time and would definitely like to visit again. Thank you for a wonderful time!

The hot springs were a great value—you can enjoy the baths in the hotel as well as the adjacent day-use hot spring facility, so I went in many times! The “one-person” sashimi boat platter didn’t look like much in the photos (sorry for my assumption), but it was easily enough for 2–3 people. At this price, all I can say is “amazing”! The Tsuyahime rice cooked in a pot was also delicious; combined with being freshly cooked, the rice was beautifully glossy. Of course, Tsuyahime was served at breakfast too—I even had seconds. I also visited by motorcycle, and they guided me to a covered area by the eaves, so it felt safe even if it rained. (It’s at the back and they will show you.) Even when I contacted them by email, they replied with detailed information and completely put my mind at ease. I’d love to stay again if I have the chance.

I enjoyed using the on-site bath facility. The natural hot spring bath was very relaxing. Since my stay was No Meals Included, I cannot comment on the food, but I appreciated the complimentary late-night ramen, which was delicious. I would love to stay here again if I have the chance.

An early Father’s Day gift: an Onsen trip! He was really happy to relax and take his time enjoying both the Onsen and the meals, and I was glad to see him so pleased.

Great value and conveniently located, Route Inn is often my go-to in times of need. While I thought it lacked a strong unique character, this location stood out. Perhaps it's thriving due to the regular fireworks events nearby. The coffee machine was excellent—rich and delicious! The Room features included wireless charging and Type-C ports. The breakfast menu seemed to have more variety compared to other locations. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to visit the large public bath, which was disappointing.

Both the bath and breakfast were great. If I had to say one thing, it would be even better if the TV supported streaming services.

The property was very clean and well maintained, with a great selection of amenities, making our stay very comfortable. It’s a bit of a walk from the station, but there are several convenience stores along the way, which is handy. If we visit Akita again, we would definitely like to stay here again.

I stayed here with my son on a two-person trip. The price was low and breakfast was included, so we were Done. The Facility is old in places and it’s hard to hide, but it felt like they use their budget wisely and make efficient repairs. Some areas, like the wallpaper, didn’t seem fully updated, but the Room we stayed in had a new Panasonic air conditioner installed. The TV had also been replaced with a relatively large Sharp wall-mounted screen, which was great. The toilet was combined with the bath, but it had been replaced with a new TOTO unit. In addition, the room lights and bedside lamp had been replaced with new ones as well, so the key points were well covered. I didn’t expect much from breakfast, but there was a good variety and the quality was better than expected. My son and I really enjoyed it—a pleasant surprise. It was a comfortable Hotel where you can see efforts to improve within their means throughout. I would stay again if I have the chance.

I’ve stayed here many times, and the best part is being able to stay at such an affordable price. I didn’t have time to use it this time, but there is also a manga library, which I enjoy when I have more time.

The meals were absolutely delicious—I really enjoyed everything, from the rice to the eggs, cod roe, salmon, salmon roe, and even kiritanpo hot pot in the morning. I’d happily stay another night just for breakfast. The bed was very spacious and comfortable, and I slept soundly. The only downside was the pajamas; fastening them with buttons felt a bit uncomfortable to sleep in.

The Hotel was very clean and there was nothing to complain about, but the refrigerator was next to the pillow, and the motor noise came through directly... That was the only drawback.

I used the breakfast buffet, but I couldn’t find any bread. When I asked, I was told, “We don’t have any.” If possible, I would like bread to be available as well.

Check-in is completely unmanned, and when you operate the tablet, you will be notified of the Room passcode. I didn’t bring my glasses or phone to check-in, so I panicked a little. There was paper and a pen, so I wrote it down. The Room is clean.

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.

The Room is spacious, and the bed is very comfortable—I’m extremely satisfied. I would like to stay here again.

It was conveniently located near the samurai residence district, with a convenience store and souvenir shops right next door. The entrance is a little hard to find. The Hotel does not have a large public bath, but we were able to use a nearby day-use Onsen at a discounted rate. We also appreciated being able to go again the next morning, and a cute cat welcomed us. There was complimentary coffee and snacks, and the amenities were well stocked.

The accommodation, the interior design of the rooms, and even the café all made it feel like time was flowing more slowly, allowing us to enjoy a truly wonderful experience. The meals provided were perfectly prepared and only needed to be warmed up, but even the time spent preparing them in the lovely kitchen was enjoyable. Most importantly, everything was absolutely delicious. The staff were all incredibly kind, making our stay a happy and memorable one. Thank you so much! I can't wait to visit again soon! About 30 minutes away by car, there is a Manga Art Museum and Akita Furusato Village. It was so much fun!
