The scenery is beautiful. There are not many restaurants and convenience stores nearby. There is only a gas station and a small shop. The rooms are newly renovated and tidy. One berth and two meals are of high standard. The open-air bath can accommodate six people. There are 5 shower stalls indoors. Hope Will come again if I have a chance

Great stay and excellent hospitality.There is ample parking for all guests and you take your shoes off at entry.The room was very clean and comfortable, it took us awhile to locate the tissues.The onsen does not change overnight and there is a sauna that you can use, although in September 2024, it was too hot for the sauna. You need to bring your own towels from the room and shower at the onsen area. The indoor spa is hotter than the outdoor spa.Food was tasty, especially the special beef steak. My only recommendation to the Ryokan is to space out the delivery of the dishes. The tempura came out at the same at the same time as the steak, so you had to choose what to eat before it got cold.Breakfast was good and very filling.Overall a very nice stay

My first visit to Oyasukyo Onsen.This is a small inn.The room was spacious and the bathroom was good.However, the food was a little disappointing as it wasn't really anything special.Since it was in the mountains, I guess I didn't need sashimi.

The ingredients are also very fresh!Personally highly recommend!

wholeI'm so satisfied that 5 stars isn't enough. Due to the location, it's mostly for amusement, but it's also a great way to escape from city life, take a leisurely soak in a hot spring, watch local TV, and enjoy Japanese country food that isn't flashy, but each dish is carefully prepared. I think this is the best accommodation for those who want to stay.If you are interested in the plan of coming from the Akita area, stopping at a roadside station, eating Inaniwa udon for lunch, and relaxing at an inn, please be sure to ask.mealBoth dinner and breakfast are carefully prepared with a focus on Akita's mountain produce. There are some high-quality sashimi, including tuna and yellowtail, and large, plump shrimp tempura, which are likely to be popular among the general public, but what impressed me personally were the assorted pickles, the cooked junsai, and the bakke. It tasted like miso. Also, the sweet and spicy cooked rock fish had no smell typical of river fish, and I was able to enjoy it whole, including the bones. It's voluminous and I'm very satisfied.hot springPerhaps because I visited on a weekday, I didn't have any friends with me, so I was able to relax and enjoy the place almost exclusively. As someone who often goes to spas in Tokyo on my days off, being able to enjoy the hot springs without having to worry about other people was a very luxurious experience. I'm not sure about the quality of the spring water, but I can only say it's the best.The roomI reserved a type C room with a wide veranda. Although the room did not have a bath, it was very clean and spacious and I had a relaxing time.

It was a quiet inn that was somewhere between an inn and a guesthouse.There are only a few rooms, so you can relax.There will be more food than you can eat.It was very delicious.
