We stayed at the Youyue Hotel for two nights during the off-season, with meals included. The room was very spacious.
Although we were the only group staying there, the hotel staff were extremely attentive.
Breakfast and dinner were both incredibly plentiful and delicious.
I will definitely miss it when I return to Taiwan.

Guest UserApologies for the rather low score on service but as this is an unmanned hotel, and I had no direct experience of utilising the help line, I could not rate any higher; I did bump into the cleaning ladies, who are doing an excellent job, on my early morning departure, and they were most kind. The hotel is right next to the train station and has its own storage lockers as well as a beautifully maintained lobby with excellent amenities, including vending machines and freely available teas and coffee. The room was well appointed and clean and there was no noise, as expected in a more rural area. The day before check-in, one will receive an email and will be asked to fill out a pre-check in procedure which will produce a QR code necessary when actually checking in at the machines upon arrival-there are no staff on site. This proved seamless for myself, but may be somewhat perplexing or frustrating for older folks or those, like myself, who are not so technologically literate. There is a help button for those who may need it. I was delighted to find that there are coin operated washing/drying machines available. Nearby, there are cafes and bakeries and everything worth seeing is within manageable walking distance. Walking a little further will bring one to some lovely shrines at the end of the town and on the opposite end a beautiful view overlooking the town and the cherry blossom lined river. Having missed cherry blossom season by a few weeks, the view at both sunrise and sunset was worn the extra steps. Do try the local udon, the set pictured was from Machiya Hall and was most delicious.

Although the hotel's decor is dated, the facilities are well-maintained and have everything a traditional onsen ryokan (hot spring inn) should have, and the equipment isn't outdated. The onsen has both indoor and outdoor sections, but in winter the outdoor temperature isn't high enough, so only the indoor onsen is available. The onsen has white floating debris and smells of sulfur, just like the Kaniba Onsen (crab farm) 😂. The hotel is family-run, but the owners haven't neglected service despite its age; on the contrary, you can feel their efforts to provide guests with the best and most up-to-date amenities in many details. I've been to many onsen ryokans in Japan, and while the facilities aren't as modern as some, they're comparable to established ones. Most importantly, I felt a strong sense of hospitality, which was very touching. I would definitely come back if I have the chance.

We drove to the hotel and appreciated the big free parking available. We also noted the proximity of the train station, so location wise, it is convenient yet gives the sense of seclusion which is perfect for relaxation. Check in was a breeze, the English proficiency of the receptionist with the printed information in English good enough. the Onsen was large and the outdoor part was a joy! i particularly enjoyed my time there soaking in the hot water, listening to the sound of the flowing river and watching the fauna. food spread, quality and quantity at both dinner and breakfast was excellent. i noted that the staffs were diligently topping up items that were running out even to later in the meal times, unlike some places where they may just not do so. We booked a room with open air bath and it was worth the money for it! would totally do that again when i return and highly recommended. must compliment the lounge with their welcome drinks and rice crackers which you can help yourself to. although its just rice crackers, it a nice touch, perhaps adding some nuts is my only suggestion. would highly recommend this place to stay if around, in fact we deliberately chose to stay here to break our journey from Hirosaki to Morioka, so glad we did!

Anonymous UserI stayed one night at Kame-no-i Hotel Tazawako in May 2026, traveling by car and looking forward to the hot springs. We booked three single Japanese-style rooms this time, and overall, it was a very satisfying stay. The cost performance is excellent, and it's a hotel I'd definitely want to visit again. I'd rate it 4.5 stars.
🚗 Location & Parking: Convenient for those traveling by car
I drove there, and the access was straightforward, with a spacious and easy-to-use parking lot. I think it's a convenient location for anyone exploring the Lake Tazawa area by car.
🛏️ Room: Spacious and Clean
Although it was a single room, it was larger than I expected and even had a sofa. Despite its compact size, it had all the necessary amenities and was practical. Since it was a room where you take off your shoes upon entering, it felt very clean and comfortable.
On the other hand, the heating felt a bit too strong and was hard to adjust; turning on the AC made it too cold. The futon was also a bit thin, and it would have been even better if it were warmer. Also, the view from the window was mostly a wall, so there wasn't much of a scenic outlook. It used an old-fashioned key, which was a bit finicky, making me slightly concerned about security.
♨️ Hot Springs: Both Indoor and Outdoor Baths were Comfortable
The hot springs were very enjoyable overall. The water quality was relatively mild, without the strong slimy feel of sulfur springs, but both the indoor and outdoor baths were comfortable. It wasn't too crowded, which allowed for a relaxing soak, which was a plus.
However, the outdoor bath felt a little too exposed, and considering the surrounding environment, I was slightly worried about bears, which was a minor safety concern.
🧴 Facilities: Basically Satisfied
Towels and amenities were well-stocked, and I didn't experience any inconvenience. The Wi-Fi was fast and easy to use. However, my room was in the East Wing, and I had to carry my suitcase up to the second floor, which could be challenging if you have a lot of luggage.
🙋 Service: Friendly and English-Speaking Staff were Reassuring
The front desk staff were very friendly, had a good sense of humor, and welcomed us warmly. They were also fluent in English, and their explanations were easy to understand. Check-in and check-out were smooth, making our stay worry-free.
🍽️ Dining: Two Meals + Late-Night Snack, Highly Satisfied
With two meals included and a complimentary late-night tantanmen (spicy noodle soup), the dining experience was incredibly satisfying. There was a wide variety of dishes, the food tasted great, and we enjoyed unique menu items made with local ingredients.
Overall, despite a few minor concerns, considering the room size, cleanliness, hot springs, meals, and staff service, I believe this hotel offers excellent value for money. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling by car or looking for a hot spring getaway around Lake Tazawa. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

NingmengqingThe must-visit cherry blossom and maple viewing place in Akita must be [Kakunodate]. It is also the hometown of samurai with a long history in Japan and is known as ”Olu's Little Kyoto”. But accommodation here is very expensive, especially during the cherry blossom and maple leaf seasons. It is even harder to find a room. During the maple leaf season, I booked a low-cost accommodation four months in advance (Kakunodate B&B Fengya) for ¥996/2 nights including breakfast. So this is one of the few B&Bs. The Japanese female boss speaks English very well and is very enthusiastic. She personally prepares breakfast with local ingredients. She also serves lunch and afternoon tea, and also sells handmade food. The B&B has free bicycle rentals, so you can easily visit all the samurai houses in Kakunokan. Most of the Japanese locals and foreigners who stay here, as well as *********, can speak English. Old people like us from the mainland who cannot speak Japanese or English are purely isolated cases. The landlady was afraid that we might have some problems, so she specially invited Mr. Ren, a retired (Chinese) teacher from Kakunodate University to come and ask us if we had any problems! The boss lady learned that we had to book a taxi to take us to Kakunodate JR Station at 6:30 tomorrow, but the taxi service at Kakunodate starts at 8 o'clock. The boss lady personally took us to the train station despite her busy schedule. I was really touched! However, the B&B does not have a pick-up station service. When we arrived, we took a taxi to the B&B for 800 yen.

An absolute gem! The views stunning, and food is exquisite. The rooms are all recently renovated with wood and in a minimalist style. The hotel had a faint fragrance of cedar? Our rooms each had ocean-facing private baths and panoramic sunset views. I feel so recharged and replenished. The setting is remote but actually not that hard to get to given Japan’s excellent transportation system. It’s 3.8 hours from Tokyo to Akita and then a lovely 50 minutes local train ride to Oga. The ryokan will pick you up. (We opted to book a local shuttle bus as we were seven people with luggage and opted to stop at the Namahage museum beforehand to learn about local lore.) The hotel has a really fun aquarium nearby which kids loved—polar bears, penguins are the main attractions but we also enjoyed the jellyfish and deep sea local fish exhibits. Highly, highly recommend staying here. The staff was incredibly helpful and gracious. Teisui is in on my list as a place to revisit.

Guest UserThe location is excellent, next to train station and in front of the bus bay for the airport limousine. The rooms are good size and I highly recommend it for anyone who will traveling in our or of Akita by train or airport transfer early in the Morning because it really is so nearby. And if Akita is your last city for your flight, the space in the room is so good for repacking. Bed is comfortable (firm, I had good sleep), they provide 2 pillows. The amenities are pretty standard. They have a shower and bath tub which is great for a soak after a day out. Highly recommended this hotel. I stayed in another hotel in Akita for the start of my trip and I highly recommend The Metropolitan.

PaulGXThis hotel is right next to a underground rock concert shop. It has frequent tenants who played there or attend the concerts there. If you are driving , you won’t be able to get their parking slots as it mostly reserved for the regulars. The nearby parking lots charges 400 Y from 4pm-8am so if you arrive shortly after check in time and decide to head out early the next day, you may use the 2 carparks that is right beside the hotel. If you can’t make it in time, the hotel cheapest parking option is behind Lawson where they have monthly season parking lots. It’s 600 yen per night from 3pm to 10am.
room wise, price to value is below average probably becos of high demand in the vicinity. As for cleanliness, can be better improve. My aircon filter and air filter machine was producing really moldy and smell air , probably from previous guests who sweated in the room. Was a big turn off lucky I came during autumn, can just open the window to get cold air in.

First of all, I booked this hot spring hotel on Saturday and it cost me 33,600 yuan. I thought I could live in a big room, but everything became a mess after two sleeping mats were laid out at dinner time. We couldn't open our luggage because there was no place, and we had to jump to go to the bathroom because there was no way to go. I was really angry. I booked this hotel because it is a LA VISTA group, but the food, both the ingredients and the taste are worth the price. There are also many snacks, water, Yakult, and fresh milk in the lounge after the hot spring, but there is no juice. This is what I find strange. In addition, we often pass by the counter, and the waiters treat you as air. Anyway, the way of this hotel is to come and go. Just now we checked out and put on our shoes, and they turned around when we said byebye, and didn't even come to the door. Am I really expecting too much?
