Towada Homestays

I wasn't expecting much but my stay was superb. I didn't really know where to stay after Oirase Gorge and I chose here because of the yakitori photos. The inn is small, only ten rooms with six currently used. The room is tatami and futon, more of an older style ryokan-type room. I opened the window at night for the cool air and the street is quiet. It also helped to not hear voices from other rooms. Dinner quantity was very large. I was afraid breakfast would be too big but it was ok cause they were small bites and sauces. Both meals used local items. The onsen switches who gets to use rotenburo morning or night. It was rainy when I arrived so it was great to be so close to Oirase gorge so I could go back again the next day with sunny skies. This was a fun place to stay, excellent food, quaint lodging and very friendly and helpful staff.

This really a gem for us! During our booking, there's no any comment from trip.com, but we saw the location and Japan hotel website reviews are not bad, we never regret to choose this hidden gem stay! This stay operated by a family, they're friendly, communication wise main by translate apps. During our stay, there's only we 1 family, we deeply enjoyed the privacy. The ryokan is sparkling clean, onsen is real best & clean, foods are the BEST local foods. To go this place, suggest to self drive. Unfortunately after we left, the stay close for winter rest. I'll definitely come back to this for next
