This was really the best hotel I stayed at in Akita City. Good onsen experience, and the best spa experience I have had in Japan.

There are better places to stay in Akita.

We only stayed one night to break up a long train trip. It is not as close to the station as we had hoped so it was an expensive taxi ride. The wonderful food and people we met on the restaurant street made our stay.

Pleasant stay in spa (onsen) resort

Relaxing experience with unlimited access to the onsen for hotel guests (open 5-9 am / 3 pm-midnight). Hotel staff speak no/minimal English with no English signage so recommended for those with an understanding of onsen etiquette (blue curtain = male, red = female). There's actually no need for a private bath/shower in the guest rooms, though provided anyway in the usual Japanese style. Shoes must be taken off when entering lobby and placed in lockers. It's quite normal to see hotel guests wandering around barefoot in yukata (cotton kimono/pants). The hotel is approx 15-20 min walk from JR Akita station and walking through the car park, the Kawabara entertainment district is immediately across from the waterway. Note: guest doors are NOT self locking, so you must remember to lock the door when leaving the room (Japan is very safe though it's always common sense to take precaution. I tried to book a massage in the onsen but the staff refused the booking due to language issue in case of injury to client. I tried to explain that I have had many Japanese massages but there is no point to debate when language is the issue. Also, checkout time was advertised as 11am however the staff told me it was actually 10am, so beware (language issue agsin).

Onsen included!

Best feature is Onsen (Japanese bath) on the property that caters to locals, but is free to hotel guests. Casual Japanese resort atmosphere. You can wear the provided Judo-style pants and jacket to the Onsen or to the dining room. One warning, you must put your shoes in a locker before you can even check in and they stay there until you decide to go outside the hotel.

Pelasent and interesting place

Akita is a place where very few people speak English, but they are very kind. The bus driver stopped near our hotel and gave us instructions to get there, after walking a couple of blocks we opened the map and inmediatly two people on the street aproached us. The hotel was only a couple of blocks away but one of them took us until the door of it. We had similar experiences later. Also in the restaurant many people went to talk to us and asked where were we from and they invited us to drink sake, they had probably never seen a Guatemalan before so they were surprized that we were there. Definetely our trip to Japan is one of our best vacatin trips ever. I recommend to visit a place not very touristic, to get a better feeling of their day to day life.

Sub-Par Hotel

This hotel has a nice public bath area. The room was so small and the bathroom seemed like it was transported in and the box was placed in the room. The sauna area was really relaxing. The hotel accommodates smokers so parts of it (restaurant/rooms) had that 'old smoke' smell. The location from JR station (and airport bus drop-off) is 20 minutes walking. It isn't too far but it isn't centrally located. The distance didn't bother me. The walk is really easy from the station. The city in itself disappointed. There isn't much.
