Around × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

Since my femur fracture, we’ve been staying in a Room with an open-air bath, and we’re completely satisfied with the meals, the Room, and the bath. The staff are wonderful as well, so we keep coming back. It’s a bit far away, but it’s our couple’s motto: “For birthdays, we come here.”

This was our second stay. Last time, I came with my daughter, and the French dinner was so outstanding that I knew we had to return someday. That wish came true, and this time I was able to bring my two sons. Since it was my younger son’s birthday, I ordered a cake through the Hotel website and they kindly prepared it for us. The food is, of course, top-class—both dinner and breakfast are highly recommended. The Onsen was also wonderful, with silky-smooth water. We would love to visit for a third time. Thank you very much to all the staff.

I’ve stayed at Dormy Inn in Nagano and Sendai, and I really liked the large public bath. I’d love to stay at other Dormy Inn locations again.

We stayed here with our daughters during summer vacation. Despite the reasonable price, the hospitality was outstanding. Dinner was served in a private room so we could relax, and the large public bath was clean and truly soothing. Breakfast was a buffet, and everything we tried was delicious—such a fun experience. This is an Accommodation that makes you want to come back regularly to unwind.

I was able to stay at a very reasonable price. I also stayed on June 26 with a breakfast-included Plan, but it ended up being No Meals Included; this time it was ¥4,000 cheaper than then. The Room had a separate bath and toilet. I checked in at 3:00 PM and was able to relax until 10:30 AM. Since I knew the area from my previous stay, I had breakfast at Akita Citizens’ Market and then headed to my next destination.

I’ve stayed here many times. This time, three adults stayed, and the Room was spacious and very clean. I’m somewhat sensitive to smells, but I was able to use the pillows and towels without any concern. The towels were pure white, fluffy, and felt great. The amenities were also much higher quality than at other Hotels I’ve stayed at recently, which made me very happy. My favorite thing about this Hotel is the breakfast buffet. I look forward to it every time, and compared with my stay in spring, there was an even wider selection of delicious Akita specialties this time—I’m disappointed I couldn’t try everything. The hospitality of the person who makes the rice balls is wonderful every time, and it always moves me. I’m planning to stay again next month, so I’m really looking forward to it.

For our stay, we choose a Hotel that offers a non-smoking triple Room. Even when listed as “triple,” many Rooms use an extra bed, but at this Hotel: (1) all beds were the same type, and (2) the Room had two air conditioners. There was an air conditioner by the beds, a partition door for the sleeping area, and the lighting included a night-light mode, so we were able to sleep well. When staying overnight, I often notice the lighting at bedtime, and the lighting here was easy to use. Breakfast was a compact buffet that was easy to serve yourself from, with a good variety of options. My family also liked it. We would like to stay again.

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.

The Hotel is in a great location, and the Room was very spacious, making our stay comfortable. Akita Station is also nearby, and the Akita Citizen’s Market, where you can shop, is just a short walk away, which made our stay enjoyable. If we have the opportunity, we would definitely like to stay at this Hotel again.

Dinner at the Hotel restaurant was inexpensive and very delicious. The entire Hotel has been renovated, and it was comfortable.

In conclusion, the value for the price was outstanding. The Room was clean and spacious, and we also appreciated the table and chairs on the balcony. We were amazed by the Onsen water quality. We never expected such a strong sulfur scent from an Onsen in this area! The private open-air bath in the Room had a ceramic tub, and it was wonderful to soak comfortably with our legs stretched out. It was so good that we used it many times! We felt the upper slat of the privacy screen could be removed without any issue. It would make a big difference in how open it feels. The food also surprised us. Since we chose a standard Plan, we honestly didn’t expect that much, but there were many local ingredients and thoughtful touches—and above all, everything was seasoned beautifully and tasted excellent. We felt the head chef must be truly exceptional. We’re very interested in the chef’s choice course! All of the staff were kind as well. It was so great that we went ahead and made another Reservation for one month later.

The other day, I stayed at Hotel Foresta Chokai. Above all, the staff were incredibly kind and made my stay very comfortable. From the moment I arrived, they assisted me with great care, and it was a wonderful Hotel that truly made me think, “I want to stay here again.” The Room was also comfortable, and the setting—where you can feel the surrounding nature and Mt. Chokai—was fantastic. The well-known Hottai Falls is also nearby and within driving distance, so I think it’s a great bonus that you can enjoy sightseeing along with your stay. And most of all, the Onsen was amazing! The open-air bath felt wonderful, and I was also happy to hear that guests can use the private family bath free of charge—such a great service. I enjoyed the Onsen at night, and by chance it was quiet during the first-bath time slot in the morning as well, so I used it again. Being able to enjoy the Onsen both at night and in the morning made me feel like I really got an extra treat. This is a warm and welcoming Hotel where you can relax in a nature-rich location, enjoy an excellent Onsen, and experience genuinely friendly service from the staff. I loved my stay this time and would definitely like to visit again. Thank you for such a wonderful time!

The rate was so affordable that I even worried whether I had booked the right place—it was such a clean Hotel. Thank you very much.

The Onsen was excellent. Thanks to the Onsen, I slept very well. Thank you very much.

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.

It was a comfortable Accommodation that could easily cost three times as much in Tokyo.

This is a wonderful Accommodation that blends beautifully into Kakunodate’s townscape. The staff were very kind and helped us in many situations throughout our stay. Thanks to them, we had a memorable and enjoyable trip. We would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

- If you stay at an Accommodation on the Sea of Japan side, it’s common to be able to watch the sunset. There were three choices for where to view it: (1) the Chokai Mountain plateau, (2) the seaside, or (3) the Hotel. We chose (2), the seaside. We initially thought we could watch it from the Accommodation, but since the building wasn’t very tall and there were houses nearby, we went out to the beach after check-in. - There was also a private bath, but we didn’t choose it because it was a bit expensive and didn’t seem like we could expect much of a view. - The Room (and facilities) were comfortable and relaxing. Above all, the food (dinner and breakfast) was excellent—the best part of our stay. Next time, I’d like to stay when there is a city fireworks festival.

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.

This was my first time staying here. All the staff—at reception, breakfast, on the phone, and likely housekeeping as well—were very kind and helpful. Once I entered the Room, I couldn’t hear any outside noise at all and was able to rest comfortably. I travel often, and many Hotels have at least one disappointing point, but everything here was excellent!! I would definitely stay again!
