"The facilities are old but kept clean.
The weather was bad on the day of our stay, so we are unsure of the location.
The open-air bath was broken and we were unable to use it, which was unfortunate.
I hadn't had high expectations as other people had said the food wasn't particularly good, but it was a buffet and there was a decent variety, and it was clear that the menu had been carefully thought out.
I particularly liked the breakfast, where you could compare two different types of rice, and the sweet potato soup.
The milk and yogurt were also rich and really delicious."
"The hotel is located by Lake Tazawa. There is a shuttle bus to pick up at Lake Tazawa Station. The hotel staff is very friendly and polite. The room is very clean and the wind and shadow outside the window are beautiful. There is also a family bath, which is very comfortable. Dinner and breakfast are included. Food Very delicious, highly recommended. "
"The room is old, lucky to have a bathroom, bathroom room, no need to go out to public, the room is large, the view is very good, facing the forest, on the river side, listening to the sound of the river, very healing, breakfast and dinner can be, the hotel has free private style, but every time someone uses it, only use the big bath, But the original big bath is only used by me alone. The disguise is a private wind. A big surprise. It is bigger than the private wind. It is super positive. There will be a special car transfer to the crane soup at 8 pm. You can also go to the hot springs and see if you can't make an appointment. Really worth it and the price is cheap, the crane soup is mixed with men and women, the boys' dressing room, the shadow is seen outside, the line is completely uncovered, but the girls have covered and along the road have been submerged in the water, do not have to be afraid of others to see, it is worthy of praise"
"The hotel near the Tazawako lake and it takes around 30 minutes to walk to the lake, make it a good alternative if you want to check out the lake but not staying there. The onsen water is okay but nothing compared to those when you go up to Nyuto. There are a few cherry trees outside the hotel and it is beautiful in May."
"Hotels in Tianze Lake Plateau
It takes about half an hour to get there by bus at Tinze Lake Station
Arrive at the ”Upper Plateau Hot Spring Station” and get off the bus and walk for about 4 minutes.
The hotel is in the mountains, all the snow is a lot of secret.
The hotel is the kind of traditional Japanese-style hotel, with dinner and breakfast very rich
The room is tatami, which is what is often seen in the Chinese and Japanese dramas, the atmosphere is very good.
The quilt was already simmered at the beginning of entering the room, very warm
The big bath will have a little sulfur smell as soon as you enter, and I heard that it is effective for skin and muscle soreness
The bath has internal and external soup, the external soup is full of snow, it really feels like winter.
The meal is delicious, the environment is comfortable, the staff is kind, I highly recommend it to everyone"
"The hotel is located near the bus station. The traffic is convenient, clean, the dining is delicious, the boss is very hospitable, because I don’t know Japanese, the boss is very patient to use the mobile phone to translate Japanese into Chinese and communicate with me, because I have to catch the plane. The kitchen gets up early and prepares breakfast for me. After checking out, the boss used the translated text to tell me that the snowy road outside is very slippery, be careful, my heart is very warm"
"The hotel is an old-fashioned hot spring hotel with a quiet environment and free parking.
Although the waiter does not understand English, it is also good to take the initiative to try to solve the problem we need to solve.
The slope outside the hotel is very steep and steep, drivers must be careful 
There is no store outside the hotel, you need to eat at the hotel, although the food is not too good, but full of Japanese flavor can accept "
"Love the location and the private onsen with lake view, you have option to reserve this by yourself so it’s quite convenient as we have a room for ourselves for 30 minutes to enjoy the onsen and the views. The building is quite old from outside but the room and amenities are quite okay, they provided everything you needed for your stay. We would love to go back for the cherry blossoms"
"The environment is very good. The hotel is right next to the lake. If you make a reservation, the merchant will pick you up at the JR station by car. The hot spring is also very comfortable and worth visiting."

Outstanding
KKemusiI arrived at Kakunodate Station in the morning, checked in at the hotel next to the station, left my luggage there, and went sightseeing on foot.
I was told that they would contact me on my mobile phone when my room was ready. My luggage was delivered at 2:30 pm and I was able to enter my room without any problems.
The entrance is unlocked with a PIN code instead of a key.
The guest rooms, converted from storehouses, are unique and wonderful, and the interior of the two-story building is stylish and comfortable. Dinner was at a local restaurant, and breakfast was delivered at the specified time.
The side dishes typical of Akita served in a birch craft box, warm white rice, and miso soup were very delicious.
On the way back, they delivered my luggage to the station again, so I was able to move around without the hassle of carrying my suitcase.
Thank you for your kind response to my request.
GGuest UserVery nice experience. The cafe has a warm and cozy ambience. The room is unique too with nice lakeview. The meals are special too. It is better to order meals during this period as you cannot find food elsewhere easily. It’s strongly recommended to visit the Lake Tazawa. The water is so calm and clear and clean.
ののむならのむIt is an inn with a large hot spring. The hot spring is indoors, but it was a high-ceiling building with thick log pillars, and it was a large communal bath with an atmosphere.
There is a restaurant in the building with hot spring facilities. The restaurant is also comfortable with high ceilings. There are a wide variety of sake from Akita Prefecture, and the food was very delicious. The Chinese food was plentiful and I had green pepper shredded meat, but it was very delicious. Breakfast was a buffet with a wide selection of Japanese and Western dishes and local dishes.
AAlbert Alexandre AlexisAs luxurious as one can expect. Beautiful place in a secluded natural environment with lavish service and delicious food. The bath are very well prepared and the staff is extremely kind and attentive.
It is a hard ask but it would be nice to have some western options at breakfast. But of course this is a Japanese traditional inn yet these options would feel even more luxurious.
Some of the decoration feels a bit either dated, kitsch or not being harmonious, I think they need a redesign of the furnitures are it looks more like an assemblage than a harmonious selection of decoration and furnitures. It’s a little on the weird side even sometimes!
But the bedding is exceptional. You will have a great sleep at this stay!
GGuest UserThe hotel is very comfortable. I will stay there again next time. There is free parking. It is the first choice when going to Nyuyu Hot Spring. It is clean and the food is okay. The second night is richer than the first night. Guests can buy hot spring coupons for Nyuyu Hot Spring and can soak in the other ones. spa
KKwok wah dannyIt is the first time to soak in a hot spring with strong acid water quality. It feels very special! After soaking, your whole body will feel very slippery, but be careful not to splash it into your eyes, as it will cause eye irritation! There is a Tamagawa Onsen Nature Research Trail near the hotel, where you can see many springs gushing out of the caves. A must-go! But the location is really far away, so it takes a lot of time!
SSaraGreat location, but the rooms are a bit dusty.
The girl at the reception in not the most friendly/smiley, but they were nice as they kept my bag for 1 night and when I mistakenly booked for 2pax they agreed to make me pay for 1pax (after I asked).
Overall ok.
PPhilipp MaasA hot spring with the highest acidity that can be reached by bus or rental car. The inn itself is a bit old, but the rice and bath were good. I want to relax again.
QQiongyaoThe location is quiet and there are trails nearby to take a walk, the location is good
There is no toilet in the room, which is inconvenient for the traditional wooden houses of the building, retro style, but there will be sound on the floor when walking up, which is easy to disturb the guests.
 Breakfast is slightly  Simpler and more abundant
