Yashima Vacations from ￥209,426

Warm bedroom and reliable hot water for showering in winter. Good for a night in Kakunodate, or more. Breakfast (if purchased when booking) was served in the guesthouse's Italian restaurant just beside. Thin walls though the other guests were considerate to minimise noise during my stay. The owner, Eiko, is a very easygoing and friendly lady. I regret I had to leave.

My son stayed for a night traveling for study abroad program and loved it! Will probably stay again for the return flight as well!

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.

Japanese attention to detail was everywhere. Food, tatami mats, onsen and wonderful staff made us feel very welcome.

Our hotel is huge. We love it. En hotel is about 18 minutes walk away from the train station. However, the 1700 yen buffet breakfast is so yummy. The beautiful Senshu park is only 5 minutes walk. There are also many restaurants around it. Lastly, the airport bus stops infront of the hotel. Thank you.
