Anytime again - a delight !…

5 out of 5

First time here on the way back to Tokyo on a Tohoku motorcycle tour group. One of or may be the best little family led hotels we have ever seen in several years. Very friendly elder couple running it and even our german riders were smitten with the daughter speaking accent-free german. A delight - from the genuine friendliness via beautiful rooms to the support in all what you asked and needed. For the Hachimantai area this one now set in stone for us if available for all upcoming tours and trips. …First time here on the way back to Tokyo on a Tohoku motorcycle tour group.

Wow, what an amazing onsen trip!…

5 out of 5

Shintamagawa onsen exceeded my expectations. Traveling alone, I was a bit worried by the location, but found Akita Airportliner was able to take me straight from the airport to the hotel without any problems for an economical price. The trip up to the mountains took 2 hours, but it was so beautiful to travel there for the first time. The Hotel itself looks well-kept and in good condition, and the hotel staff was extremely amiable and efficient. I was able to check-in quickly and without issue even though I spoke no Japanese. I had a two-night stay and I would say it was not enough time to fully enjoy the area and facilities. I visited the onsen twice a day and was impressed by the strength and quality of the water. I fully enjoyed the buffet breakfast and dinner. It was a typical Japanese style meal, nothing too fancy but matched the ambiance of the hotel and tastes of the guests. Much healthier than other buffet options I have experienced. The guests were mainly older who seemed to be there to keep up their health with the great onsen facilities. I found it also very healthy from a personal perspective. I did try to visit the neighboring Tazawa Lake and Kaunodate area, but just did not have enough time due to limited bus transportation this time of year. The one-way trip by bus takes over an hour and you must plan accordingly to match the schedule to get back to the onsen. Overall I extremely enjoyed my stay and will return in the future for a longer stay. …Shintamagawa onsen exceeded my expectations.

Very nice and helpful English speaking member of staff. However, the room felt very similar to a youth hostel. The room was incredibly cramped and dated. The lighting in bathroom was so dim it was impossible to have a bath with the door closed as would be in darkness. There were polystyrene panels blocking up a wall from our room to next door, which meant we could hear everything that was going on, and vice versa. The breakfast was plentiful and tasty, but we were only able to have it at 8.00 am. If we wanted to lie in, or get up early to leave then this time can cause a problem. This place is miles away from anywhere, with no vending machine. So make sure you go fully stocked. This place is probably more suited to a younger group in 20’s who are there to enjoy skiing season.…Very nice and helpful English speaking member of staff.
