Taiheizanmiyoshi Shrine

Super clean, friendly staff, free coffee at the lobby. Our room was spacious, complete with everything that we need for our stay. Location: a bit far of a walk from Omagari station, 20 minutes otherwise take a taxi. Nice, relaxing, peaceful area. Limited restaurants around town, so grab dinner before you settle for the night. The breakfast buffet was the best in this place! Don’t miss it! We love all the Japanese dishes/veggies and of course the Akita rice.

The hospitality of Nori-san, Chie, and their family made our stay so enjoyable. They went out of their way to ensure our comfort and shared wonderful details about their beautiful, nutritious, farm-to-table meals. We even got to tour their farm, learn about rice planting, and spot a precious firefly. The house is bright and clean, overlooking rice paddies, with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. It's also centrally located in Akita, making it easy to visit spots like Lake Tazawa, Dakigaeri Valley, and Kakunodatemachi Samurai district.

The food was one of the best. We stayed two nights. It would have been better, if we could choose to stay without meal, because we found 2 meals a day was too much.
