Rumah tumpangan di Semboku

Right next to train station. Quiet and comfortable, albeit small rooms. We dropped our luggage at the hotel in a.m. and spent the day walking around Kakunodate (1 day is enough...actually, probably just a day trip from Akita would make sense). This is not the busy season though the autumn colors of the trees were spectacular. The town is very quiet and very few restaurants were open in the evening. There is nothing near the train station. We ended up eating at the hotel which was, surprisingly, good and very inexpensive. The hotel staff is very perky and as with everywhere in Japan, place is well maintained, clean and functional. I would definitely recommend this hotel if planning to stay in Kakunodate overnight.

Bilik mandi terbuka adalah bagus. Bufet sarapan pagi mempunyai banyak menu dan lazat. Produk istimewa Akita juga terdapat dalam menu. Bilik bersih dan kemas. Saya menempah 8 bilik tatami untuk 3 orang. Selain 8 tikar tatami, terdapat 2 tikar tatami di kawasan penerimaan tetamu, yang cukup besar. Ini adalah hotel besar dengan banyak bangunan. Jadi, satu-satunya masalah ialah tempat mandi besar jauh, tetapi ini bukan masalah besar. Sangat selesa.

It’s about 10 minutes walk from Kakunodate local train tour. The hotel itself is right beside Lawson and it’s convenient. Room is very small unless you pay extra for the twins room.

We have two types of hot springs. We have modern facilities and traditional culture of Japanese Ryokan.

Traditional Japanese Hotel with very clean & comfortable environment, service is very good with warm hospitality, food is very delicious like a family style.

清掃：　普通に行き届いています。 食事：　朝夕２食付きで、２泊しましたが、品数は丁度良くて、飽きずに頂けました。 大浴場：　丁度良い温度です。垢が浮いているという書き込みがありますが、あれは「湯の花」といって、天然の温泉に元から入っているものです。入口に案内が書いてあります。 接客：　丁寧で良かったです。 設備：　館内が広いので、温泉や食事の場所まで遠くなる場合もあると思います。トイレの水が、水は出るのですが、レバーが故障しかけていました。

リノベーション済のTwinに２食付きで１泊した。部屋はコンパクトに清潔にまとめられている。ペットボトル水も２本付く。こじんまりした温泉も気持ちがよい。特筆すべきは食事で、夕食は結構頑張っている。５Fの展望室からは駒ケ岳、田沢湖が望めるが、豪雨で水漏れが発生した。

We had a triple room with a waterfront view. The room was spacious with a traditional tatami seating area below the window. There were plenty of amenities on the main floor (coffee, tea, freezer with popsicles) and a nice seating area. They had an onsen for guests, but also had a private onsen with a view for guest use. We used it at sunset and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The staff was very helpful and courteous throughout our stay.
