Higashiyama Dam

This was the best hotel I've stayed In Japan. They had everything I needed, everything was clean, they even put a new full change of towels, 2 water bottles, coffee, tea ect on my door the next day. Very happy

Overall pretty good resort that is unfortunately showing its age. Our room was rather small for a family style room (comparatively to other ryokans we stayed at for a similar price point) but very clean. Beautiful location but very remote if you don’t have a car. Shuttles to and from Inawashiro station made it easy to take day trips to other areas. Most of the resort’s amenities were also not open during our stay too. The resort supposedly has multiple restaurants but only two were open while we were there. The outdoor onsen is quite nice as well.
