“Amazing Hotel in the heart of Akita”

Everything was perfect, especially the fine gentleman that helped us with our food preferences and taking the time to explain which dishes were more appropriate for us and which were not. Really appreciate that.

“Fantastic place to stay if you are in the area, nice bath area and big enough so that it's not overcrowded”

Good location in Nyuto Onsen area. There's variety in the meals, there's always one or 2 different items for every day. Cannot say the same for lunch though.

“Good food and onsen, but broken internet and poor value for the price.”

Great food selectiong. Good quality food. Onsen was good. A little bit small.

“Great Ryokan with access to other onsens in the Nyuto Onsen network”

Good sized room, amazing staff, good food and onsen was great. Especially liked that they had an option to pay for daypass access to other onsens in the area + shuttle bus transportation so you can experience them all without needing to stay at all the different ryokans. They also offer to loan you towels, warm winter jackets and rubber boots when visiting the other onsens. This was a godsend for us it gets windy and the snow can be pile up quickly during a storm (it was up to my calves when we were there)

We enjoyed the rustic feel of this hotel, especially the onsens which had views of the forest.

“Wonderful stay in Nyuto”

Kindness of the staff Very great buffet dinner and breakfast Hot and cold beverage for free Onsen

“An enjoyable onsen stay in Nyuto”

All but one of the Nyuto onsens are older properties, and this is certainly a somewhat older property but it is well maintained, clean, has comfortable Japanese style rooms and helpful staff. There is a small gift shop, and a self-serve drinks area. Sulphur onsen, but the sulphur smell doesn't permeate the rest of the building. Easy to reach by public bus from Tazawako, and the small shuttle bus will run you around to the other onsens. Meals provided and were a great range of local dishes and products.

I like there being a hot spring pool outdoors despite it being on the small side.

“My First Onsen Experience”

Everything in this hotel was amazing. I was flabbergasted at how wonderful the baths were, and how comfortable the futon actual is. Tatami mats are such a blessing for the feet for how soft they are. The complementary drinks such as tea or Coke was a great touch from when you come out of the bath. The location was spectacular as I got to see so much snow, and that too I got to experience an open bath in the snow was picturesque. I honestly miss it so much. There was availability of extra blankets as well but the bedding already provided was so soft I did not even notice the fact it was cold outside (there is a heater in the room as well). Breakfast was fantastic (I missed out on dinner so I cannot comment but that would probably be great as well), it was a buffet style with a lot of different Japanese breakfast dishes to try from, such as fish, mini hot dogs, miso and rice, croquettes etc, so much so I had three rounds of breakfast.

“Great location and value.”

Friendly staff. Nice location.

“Everything of the hotel is perfect excepting the air-conditioner in the room.”

The air-conditioner of room can only send warm air in winter , so that the room is so hot and I can't really sleep well until I open the window.

“Great experience to stay in a hostel in the snow! Dinner and the outdoor onsen are my favourite!”

The dinner was great with a variety of hot, cold food as well as desserts! There was matcha icecream too! The outdoor onsen was one of my favourite, to have hotpool in the snow is top of my bracket list! There was free drinks and coffee machine for us to use which is great in the winter.

“Nice place to relax”

Good food

“Beautiful onsens and views”

The Onsen was amazing, nothing better than sitting in one during the evening. Staff very friendly. Free soft drinks in rest area.

“Wonderful winter experience”

The front desk staff were extremely helpful and kind. The location amongst the birch forest was beautiful. The buffet dinner and breakfasts were both lovely, and even though we stayed for 2 nights, we found different selections and specialty dishes at the different meals to enjoy. My children enhoyed the ice cream station and hot chocolate machine also. They also sold a good selection of sake in the store. The onsen baths were wonderful, especially the outdoor one. The coin washing machine and free dryers were a helpful addition.

“relaxing”

Excellent buffet dinner and breakfast and amazing onsen. Very helpful staff despite language barrier.

- Outdoor Onsen have stunning scenery.

l left the passport in pervious hotel. But,the hotel staff (藤原先生）is very helpful. Helping me to communicate with the previous hotel, since I cant speak Japanese. Once again, thank you for your prompt follow up actions. I would like to express my gratitude to all involved staff and for your profession. Thank you to the staff specially.
