Not only were the meals and the wonderful Onsen outstanding, but I was also deeply comforted by the staff’s hospitality. Their warm smiles and sincere service reminded me that people can be healed by people. I would love to visit again in winter. The coffee after breakfast was delicious, and I could really feel the proprietress’s attention to detail. It became a memorable trip to Akita. Thank you very much.

The open-air bath surrounded by the beech forest was exceptional. The view was so beautiful that I wanted to stay there forever. This time it was a one-night stay, but next time I’d like to book a Multiple Night Stay and visit other Nyuto Onsen baths.

I was drawn in by the Hotel photos on Yahoo! Travel. The Room was very spacious, with an open and clean feel, and I was able to relax comfortably. The open-air bath was a good size, the sauna was clean, and I personally found the cold plunge temperature very pleasant. The meals were also delicious. I would love to stay again.

Although we try to take a couples’ Onsen trip at least once a month, we were busy this month and couldn’t easily find time—so, as usual, it was a last-minute Reservation. We decided to stay nearby and chose Aoni Onsen for its excellent water quality. Luckily, there was a Room available at just the right time. Best of all, we could use the private bath in the building where we stayed free of charge, so my wife and I enjoyed it before heading to the large public bath. The water was great, everything was clean, and the view was wonderful. Dinner was served at the counter with attentive service for each dish while watching the kitchen at work. There was also an impressive lineup of well-known Akita sake—including Aramasa, which I used to drink almost every night. I thought it might shake my resolve since I had only recently quit drinking, but surprisingly it didn’t. With kind encouragement like “Why not just have a little?”—and with my wife unable to drink—I gratefully accepted their thoughtfulness while focusing on the meal. Since sake had always been part of every Onsen trip until now… I expected to feel lonely about it—but I didn’t at all (even though I used to be a certified sake sommelier). We truly enjoyed the Onsen.

My family and I have stayed here several times. This was our first Onsen trip in summer, and we realized the season doesn’t matter. It was a wonderful Hotel.

As the Facility has been renovated, it was very clean and comfortable. The Onsen water is clear simple spring water, and it differs slightly between the indoor bath and the mixed-gender bath. We were also told that each nearby Onsen Accommodation has its own unique features. Thank you as well for the staff’s hospitality.

Dinner featured local dishes such as kiritanpo hot pot and bear meat. There was no sliced sashimi, but the DIY seafood mixed rice was delicious. Late-night snack: tantan ramen. I was completely full. 　They also offer a Shuttle Service from Tazawako Station, and they kindly explained the available time slots. 　However, the bicycle rental at Lake Tazawa was terrible. Even though the road was closed due to a landslide, they said it was still possible to go around. When I came back, they insisted they “didn’t know anything” and acted as if it wasn’t their problem. They refunded the rental fee—then grabbed the cash I handed over and wouldn’t let go, threatening me in a harsh voice: “You rode it for some time—are you saying you won’t pay?” Other rental bike users I passed on the way (a Japanese person and a white woman) may also have been pressured into paying. When I explained what happened at the tourist information center, they said, “We have informed them about road closures and reopenings.”
