สถานีทาซาวะโกะ × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

I was satisfied with everything—the Onsen, the service, and the meals. Soaking in the Onsen while looking out over the Tamagawa River, I was able to enjoy a truly elegant and relaxing time. The only potential issue is that parts of the road to the Hotel are unpaved, so if you’re not confident driving, I recommend using the Hotel’s Shuttle Service. If there is no snowfall or rain, driving is not a problem at all.

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 building itself felt fairly ordinary, but it was clean and pleasant. Above all, the meals were outstanding, and I was extremely satisfied. They focused on local ingredients and dishes, all delicious and thoughtfully prepared—it truly made me glad I came. The omelet and raw egg made with Hinai-jidori eggs were excellent. It was my first time eating so much iburigakko with cream cheese. It turned into a very satisfying trip. If I have the chance, I’d like to stay with the Kyukamura group again.

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.

It was pleasant that everything—from the lobby and hallways to inside the elevator—was covered with tatami mats. Right after check-in, we were welcomed with cold matcha tea, which was a nice touch. Both breakfast and dinner were served in a private room across the hallway. The simmered kinki (rockfish) was especially delicious. The staff were also very attentive. I think it would have been perfect if face towels were provided in the large public bath.

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.

I was completely satisfied with this Accommodation. I chose it because they allowed me to check in at 11:00 PM after a festival event, and because the Onsen is available for bathing all night. The thoughtful idea of opening an Onsen facility—normally used for day trips during the daytime—exclusively for overnight guests at night is truly wonderful. By chance it was a “large bath” day (apparently some days have only the smaller bath), and since it was the last night of Obon, I had it all to myself and could enjoy it in luxury. The large bath doesn’t have a sauna, but there is also a lukewarm tub fed directly from the source; alternating between that and the hot bath completely washed away my fatigue from the day. Breakfast the next morning was buffet-style. I didn’t expect much, thinking it might be just rice with raw egg, but I was pleasantly surprised. The rice with raw egg was excellent, and there were also porridge and a wide variety of side dishes, all well seasoned. For dessert there were two kinds of fresh fruit—watermelon and pineapple—both sweet and very satisfying. I would definitely like to stay here again.

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.

The meals were delicious! The rice was especially tasty, and everything was carefully prepared. The amenities were great, too. The Room was clean. It was my first time visiting Lake Tazawa, but I might end up coming every year. It was a truly wonderful trip. Just one thing: it was a shame that the edge of the tatami in the Room was peeling.

The bath is quite far from the single Room, and the washing-area stools are low, making it hard to stand up. I would appreciate it if there were a few higher chairs available. The hot water is exceptionally good. Even though I thought it would be fine, I couldn’t relax in the 1st-floor open-air bath because I was worried about what I would do if a bear appeared.

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.

This is a wonderful Accommodation where you can relax and enjoy dinner while listening to jazz. The host and his wife were very welcoming, and we had a truly comfortable stay. Everything at dinner was delicious, and the Akitakomachi rice balls at breakfast were outstanding. We would definitely love to stay again.

Used for a one-night solo motorcycle trip. You’ll be surprised—“An Accommodation in a place like this?”—but inside it’s extremely clean: the Room, bath, and kitchen. It seems a calligraphy teacher relaxes here; there are probably artistic calligraphy works displayed throughout. Room: A bit plain. Basement? Downstairs? No light from the window, no TV—great if you want to clear your mind. Bath: Simply the best. Owner: Not too close, not too distant—very gentle and kind. Location: Honestly, I worried about bears, but they said none have appeared around here. That’s how surrounded by greenery it is. Food: For dinner I went to a nearby Genghis Khan (lamb BBQ) restaurant—delicious!! Though the owner there was… maybe not so much. “Nearby” still means about 700 m; I was scared of bears so I went at 17:30. You can get refills and it really is tasty! But the Accommodation kitchen has everything you could need—I made breakfast there. Overall: The top rating makes sense. This price is unbelievable. I hope someone who reads this will decide to visit. *At the nearby Pine Bar? shop, their iburigakko is half the price compared with outside; the shop owner is wonderful too. Please stop by.*

We were very satisfied with the views, the meals, and the staff’s service. Cold water was available before and after bathing, and the Room was kept very clean. There were some insects floating in the open-air bath, but that is to be expected at an Accommodation in the mountains; anyone who complains about it has forgotten that they are in nature. We would like to stay again.
