“Perfect option for a short stay in Kakunodate”

Perfect location within walking distance of convenience stores, supermarkets, coin laundry and major sightseeing spots. The house was comfortable with amenities like a refrigerator, microwave, separate toilet and shower areas, bunk beds and a living space. Communication for checkin and checkout was clear and the house was clean and well maintained.

“Comfortable 2 night stay in Kakunodate”

Location close to Samurai Street via short drive, clean interior, spacious bath, good heating, and very responsive and reassuring host

Bedding woulod benefit from having a summer duvet available - the covering was rather too hot, but without covering, it was too cold. Otherwise, this was a great retreat for us

“Cute! I was sick unfortunately but I had the caravan for myself so I had a great rest”

“Nice stay”

The location is the best for me! Not too far from Kakunodate Station, near laundry coin, near supermarket and around 10 minutes walk to samurai houses. It's clean and comfy. When I was there, no one beside me is using the bunk bed because Sakura season has passed so the tourist rush was no more. Still, it's a beautiful place and I'd like to come again! The host were responsive, helpful and nice. Thank you!

Host's English is good, large storage with locker, close to laundry store and shops

“Great place!”

I actually was the only guest at the hostel when I went. I guess Kakunodate is not a popular city for foreigners, but I personally liked that. The staff was also super nice and they speak English.

It was cozy, clean, good location (not so far way walking from the station) and they were really really kind :)

“Very kind host and clean, highly recommend for visitors going to Akita Nairobi Inland Railway.”

Location

Very clean and comfy place! The host was so friendly! She helped us find the best way to avoid traffic jams on our way to the festival. I definitely recommend this place!

“Great guesthouse in Kakunodate”

The guesthouse is a great place to stay in Kakunodate. The owner is very friendly, the dorm is spatious and clean. The location is in walking distance from the JR Kakunodate station. I would definitely stay again.

It's a small hostel - bedroom is in a separate building, where also a bathroom is. Room is spacious and there are 8 beds there. Just next to it, there's a kitchen and small common room. One can put valuables in a locker and staff provides a padlock. There's a big supermarket nearby, great for buying some food.

“Wonder & super warm”

Everything wonder but

Good location and helpful staff

“Amazing!”

This place exceeded my expectations in every way. Well located a few minutes away from the station, with a supermarket 1 minute away and easy access to nature. Everything was convenient, clean and pretty, but above everything else was the owners kindness. Constantly present and helpful, they were a delight and an absolute pleasure to chat with. I intend to come visit Akita again, I don't know when, but I'll make sure to come back to this hostel.
