I stayed on a Friday. After enjoying the Komagatake Onsen, take the 14:42 bus from the Recreation Center and get off at the Mizusawa Onsenkyo stop, which is just around the corner.Please make a reservation for the private bath at check-in. Usage time is 50 minutes. The bath with tatami flooring was a little hot. The building is connected to a sister building, and the large public bath is located there. There is an indoor bath and an open-air bath, and a sauna is scheduled to be completed in November. There was a cold bath. I was guided to a clean Western-style room called ``Chochinoma''.We had our meal at the attached izakaya, Aoni-an. New and beautiful. There are tatami seats and counter seats. Order drinks from your tablet. There are many types of alcohol, and there are 4 types of Shinsei! There is also a comparison of Akita sake drinking. I'm glad I chose to stay at this inn because the food and drinks were all delicious, with the music playing quietly and the atmosphere relaxing.I was also impressed by the politeness of the staff.

It is located in Mizusawa Onsenkyo, about 15 minutes by bus from Lake Tazawa.Is it a business hotel with clean rooms? That's what I think, but it's wonderful that you can take a private bath over and over again. Refa hair dryer is amazing!The rice overall felt unsatisfying.I wonder why there's only one onigiri chazuke for white rice 🍚 Gindara and white rice go really well together! There was white rice on the menu for which there was an additional charge, so it seems that I need to add it.It's nice that the dining area is in a row, so you don't have to worry about other people watching you. Being able to order from the izakaya menu was new.The staff's response is very good.

Very boutique Ryokan with only 6 rooms, shares the onsen with the adjoining hotel (the walkway is all indoors and you take an elevator down to the onsen on level b1).Facilities were clean and you take your shoes off at the door. There are no in room showers, so shower at the onsen (not a problem for us). There are two private springs at the Ryokan you can book for 50 minutes. This was a great benefit.The adjoining onsen is spacious and is open from 11am - midnight and from 5am - 9am. There is an indoor and outdoor area, and the men's and women's area switches the next day.Dinner was really nice, I enjoyed the chawanmushi and the tempura the most - you can order drinks and any a la carte items (we ordered the fee range local "prosciutto" which was pretty good).Breakfast is efficient and I enjoyed the simmered tofu and onsen egg.Plenty of parking outside front

Still new. It looks like the sauna will open in November. The bathroom was clean and the room was modern and very clean. The dining area was also comfortable with just the right lighting.

Guests from Taiwan, after visiting Lake Towada in the afternoon of 6/2/2024 (Sunday), three of our family came to this small and beautiful hot spring hotel. From my room (Da Waka no room), I can overlook the fields. Zehu, we were overjoyed. The hotel receptionist at the front desk was friendly. Even though they didn't understand the language, they still made the Taiwanese feel that the Japanese attach great importance to the high standards of cleanliness (the guests' shoes were completely removed after taking off the door and placed neatly in another place). In a shoe cabinet space).I like their meals (a fusion of Japanese and Western styles) and tableside service. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast the next day. The food was exquisitely prepared, not much but filling. The service staff were well-trained and used translation software to speak to us. Communicate how to eat each food.We enjoyed the large bath and the private bath. The private bath requires reservation. The 50-minute time limit is more than enough for us. It is a good enjoyment to have a private bathing space.I was deeply impressed by the performance of AONI in all aspects, and I would like to make a special trip to stay there again if I have the opportunity.
