The hotel is located next to the railway station, so it's within convenient walking distance of everything. The soundproofing for the tracks running alongside it is excellent - if anything we heard other guests rather than passing trains. The parking lot behind the hotel is free for the duration of your stay and we were even allowed to leave our car there for a few hours more after check-out. Staff is very friendly.

The bathroom was pretty clean but a little worse for wear. Our room was a bit stuffy, probably due to the insulation and heater. Overall it was comfortable enough for our short stay.

Loved every bit here. When I arrived it was snowing in beautiful fluffy flakes❀ It was literally 20 steps from the JR train exit to the hotel entrance, so even in a blizzard you’d be able to go back and forth without problem. Staff struggled with English but solved this with a simple instruction card, it was very cute. They did their best and everything was completely clear. The room was very big compared to other places I had been with a sofa and coffee table that seat 2 people easily. The bath was very enjoyable, breakfast was small but delicious, the smoked fish was really good. You have a view of the square in front of the train station so lots of things and people to observe. I really recommend staying here as the town has interesting history itself but also has a good and fast connection to Akita City.

The only thing that would make it better would be an onsen.

The hotel is located right beside the JR Kakunodate Train station. Its closed proximity means catching a train or going to the convenient store is as simple as just exiting the hotel and turning right and you will be there in 10 seconds. While the breakfast did not have large selection due to the small number of guests, it does offers of a variety of Japanese and European breakfast. If you are intending to stay in your room most of the time, it has high speed internet on the orders of 100mbps despite the small town.

If you are looking for things to do after 1900. There won’t be much options due to the small town.

The hotel is super conveniently located right next to the trainstation. It has a buffet-breakfast which is quite satisfactory and they have washing-machines available and the staff is very helpful, able to help with calling taxi-services to pick you up from, for example, a remote onsen.

The rooms seem to have been used by smokers in the past. I was able to be re-located to another room when the first room that I tried had a weird smell to it. This might not be the case when the hotel is more fully booked, however. YMMV.

The hotel is a short walk from the tourist attractions. It's right next to the station, and I was expecting it to be a fairly standard hotel. It turned out to be really nice, with a very good restaurant. The town is well worth a visit if you are in this area, and the hotel is an ideal place to stay, particularly if you arrive by train.

Superb location, just right outside the train station. The staff were polite and accommodated everything. The room itself was comfortable with ample of space, especially comparing to to Japanese standard. The restaurant and meal was also good for dinner. Finally the walking to the samurai village is around 10-15 mins walk.

Nothing, everything was perfect, except that during our stay the snow on the street was melting down, so it was a bit difficult to walked around the city, but that wasn't about the hotel anyway.

- The walk from the train station was less than a minute away. Just need to turn left after exiting the station entrance. there is coin laundry - There are essentials toiletries in the toilet - Good wifi - There is a convenient store near the hotel. - There are some eating places nearby but the eating place close early during the autumn season. - Check in and out was easy. - There is a mini fridge - The beds were comfortable

- The staff were helpful but the staff will have some difficulties explaining in English for complex travel questions.

The hotel was right outside the train station, literally a 10 seconds walk. Location is fantastic. The room was also very clean and comfy and spacious. There is also a restaurant in the hotel for meals. The breakfast is buffet style, maybe abit basic but was nevertheless great. Was buying the akita inu plushies at the in house souvenier store in the hotel and the staff was patient with us, she took a few out and let us choose the ones we wanted to buy. Really like the Japanese hospitality experienced in the hotel. There is nothing to dislike.

The food was good, both breakfast and dinner. Also relatively cheap. The location was fantastic! The room was much bigger than anticipated, beds were really comfortable, and the bathroom was great.

Breakfast ended a little early, 9 o'clock. So we never got to sleep in. (Mostly because I love potato salad and didnt want to miss it.) Also, the microwave is in the hallway which might be a bit awkward, but not really a problem.

Stayed extra night. All good. Well almost! Read below.

We understand that breakfast food cannot take away. So we followed the rules. Not even a small bun to bring back to the room. All good so far. But when my wife tried to refill her water bottle with plain water from the breakfast, this was disallowed. I think the hotel don’t have to be so rigid. Otherwise it’s a very pleasant stay.
