Featuring traditional Japanese hot springs known as ‘onsen’, these hotels allow you to take a relaxing soak in therapeutic geothermal waters. Traditionally, onsens were located outdoors but a number of hotels also offer indoor facilities for private or shared use. The healing properties of each onsen will vary depending on its location, with ‘kuroyu’ black water known for its positive effects on skin.
The staff were kind and accommodating. This hotel has an onsen with a separate one for female customers.
The facilities are quite old, but the bath and restroom are renovated and clean. I had a comfortable sleep.
I also liked the welcome drink and ramen.
The Akita dog museum is nearby, although the dogs were not in the mood to show off when I went there.
The location was close to the train station and the Akita dog museum. I only stayed overnight so I missed the chance to see Akita dogs, which I was looking forward to. We arrived late but the warm reception with a complimentary ramen, which is only availble from 7-9 pm, was a delight. The hotel is old but well maintained. The toilet and bath was newly renovated and very clean. The bed was comfortable and conducive to a good night sleep.

The staff were so friendly and helpful it was such a nice welcome. The free drinks were really good, much more than usual! Easy and quick lifts, great onsen, quick check in and out and the room layout was good too. Plenty of space for two, extremely comfortable beds, dark curtains and nice amenities.
