KAMENOI HOTEL TAZAWAKO
8.4 (223 reviews)

KAMENOI HOTEL TAZAWAKO ★★★★

📍 Komagatake-2-32 Tazawako Obonai, Semboku

"Couldn't sleep on a futon, so I opted for a Japanese-Western style room. It was quite spacious. There's no central air conditioning, so they use oil heaters. Initially, the smell of lamp oil was really strong and I found it quite off-putting, but after a couple of nights, I gradually got used to it. The breakfast and dinner buffet was a bit simple, but the food tasted pretty good. They even had late-night noodles! The snow view was absolutely stunning and very impressive. The hotel offers a convenient shuttle service to and from JR Tazawako Station."

Kashintei Shirahama
9.3 (42 reviews)

Kashintei Shirahama ★★★★

📍 Haruyama-145-15 Tazawako Tazawa, Semboku

"A hotel by the Tazawa Lake with a beautiful view. There are both private and shared hot springs. The food is delicious. It is elegant and meticulous. If I have a chance, I will definitely stay there again."

Tazawako Lake Resort & Onsen
8.5 (96 reviews)

Tazawako Lake Resort & Onsen ★★★★

📍 Shimotakano-82-117 Tazawako Obonai, Semboku

"It appears that parts of the building have been renovated, but the corridors and stairs still feel old. The bath is compact, but is open for long periods of time, which is appreciated. Meals are provided in the evening and breakfast, and they seem to have put a lot of effort into the main menu. There was a wide variety and we thoroughly enjoyed it. There were overseas tour groups staying there, which made it a little unsettling, but Lake Tazawa was easily accessible by car in the evenings and mornings, so it was a pleasant stay. Personally, I think one night would be enough."

Hotel B4T Kakunodate
8.8 (81 reviews)

Hotel B4T Kakunodate ★★★

📍 Nakasugazawa-14 Kakunodatemachi, Semboku

"Dinner dishes are varied and I love them! It is very convenient to take a bus to Lake Tazawa. Take a bath in Nyuto Onsen. There are baths for men and women. Enjoy the aroma of the hot spring in the snow. It's fun."

Magorokuonsen Rokuan
9.6 (31 reviews)

Magorokuonsen Rokuan ★★

📍 3051, Lake Tazawa, Sendatsuzawa, National Forest, Semboku

"During winter, the road for the last 800 meters before reaching the hotel is closed, and you must walk in. Guests need to park at Okama Onsen first. Before arrival, you are required to inform the hotel of your check-in time so that a staff member can guide you on foot to the property. The staff will help carry your luggage, but if you have many bags, it’s best to inform them in advance. The highlight of this stay is definitely the walk to the hotel. You walk deep into the forest along towering walls of snow on both sides, and eventually discover the onsen hidden in the woods. It feels truly special and secluded. The lobby area is not very large, and the number of staff is quite limited, but overall the service was very good. Dinner was served at a counter bar, and the chef was extremely friendly and spoke good English. The receptionist at the lobby, who is from Taiwan, speaks English, Chinese, and Japanese fluently. She explained everything clearly, helped carry our luggage on the way out, and even assisted with clearing snow off our car. Personally, I found the public onsen area to be a bit disappointing. The floor was icy and slippery, which felt somewhat unsafe. However, the private onsen in the room was excellent — very private, spacious for an in-room bath, with a beautiful view and wonderfully fragrant mineral water. The room itself was spacious, quiet, and peaceful. Mobile signal does not work inside the hotel, but the hotel provides Wi-Fi, which was stable and fast. Both breakfast and dinner were very good, and the hotel responded to emails and accommodated our special dietary requests, which we really appreciated. The only regret was that the snow was extremely deep during our visit, making it hard to fully see and imagine the surrounding scenery."

📍 Tazawako Tamagawa, 渋黒沢, Semboku

"No comment"

Shintamagawa Onsen
8.6 (86 reviews)

Shintamagawa Onsen ★★★

📍 Tazawako Tamagawa, 渋黒沢, Semboku

"This is the best hotel for hot spring experience in Tohoku region of Japan after my trip to northern Japan. We also experienced hot spring in the snow. This hotel has good services and there are Chinese speaking receptionists at the front desk. We booked a one night two meals package and ate a lot every day and gained weight. I will definitely go there again in the future."

KAMENOI HOTEL TAZAWAKO ★★★★
"Great hotel in the old style, amenities are quite old but still keeping the charm! We spend a new year night here and food was great! However onsen is much much smaller than we thought based on the hotel photos, still nice"

Kashintei Shirahama ★★★★
"I made a reservation because I wanted to see the cherry blossoms in Kakunodate. Unfortunately, I was too early and it was farther than I thought! The bus driver and staff were all very kind and friendly. I was touched when they waved goodbye to me on a rainy morning. The food looked beautiful and had a seasonal feel, and the A5 rank beef teppanyaki was meltingly soft and delicious. I was also glad to have the Akita specialty kiritanpo hotpot. However, it was quite flavorful, so I thought it would have been better if they had some white rice. You need a small towel every time you take a bath, so it's better to have two of each. Thank you so much."

Tazawako Lake Resort & Onsen ★★★★
"This hotel offers a shuttle service from Tazawako Station, with pickups at 3:30 PM, 4:30 PM, and 5:30 PM. For departures, there are shuttle services to the station at 8:20 AM, 9:20 AM, and 10:20 AM for breakfast. You must call to book; emails are not answered. The half-board option (dinner and breakfast) was excellent; dinner was very generous, and the breakfast ingredients were also great. There are both indoor and outdoor baths. There's also a lounge area for guests to relax in, with complimentary drinks and coffee. The room facilities aren't the newest, but I thoroughly enjoyed my 16-hour stay at the hotel."

"This hotel wasn't cheap; I spent over 530 yen and felt it was too expensive. Breakfast consisted of two rice balls and a bowl of pork belly soup. There was a common area on the second floor where you could watch TV and drink tea. The hotel seemed like a family-run business; there were no bathrobes, only a bath towel, and disposable face towels. If I had a next time, I would choose to stay in a larger city, like Akita."

Tamagawa Onsen ★★★
"The acidic hot spring with a pH value of 1.1 to 1.2 is probably the strongest hot spring in Japan. The rule is not to suddenly bathe in 100% hot spring water, but to first warm up your body with water that is 50% hot spring water. Indeed, after about 3 minutes in 100% hot spring water, your skin will feel a tingling sensation. It feels like a weak electric current is flowing. Of course, your skin will be smooth after bathing. Is this because the keratin has dissolved? There are a variety of baths, including a reclining bath, a standing bath, a waterfall bath, and a sauna. You can also enjoy a bedrock bath, although reservations are required. If you like hot springs, this might be a place you should visit at least once! The only disappointment is that the dinner buffet is poor in quality!"

"This is a hot spring inn with the most acidic springs in Japan! You can bathe in both Shin-Tamagawa Onsen and Tamagawa Onsen. In the evening and in the morning, we were able to eat delicious Akita food in buffet style!"
