I have to say this onsen hotel is impressive. The amenities that’s equipped in the room, services, spacious rooms, the in-room onsen, they are all above average quality and expectations. I was so relaxed after staying there for a night. Will definitely want to visit again.The only one thing disappointed me was the meals were buffets, not served as courses.

Good points- Many welcome drinks are available in the lounge (soft drinks, soup, and alcoholic beverages such as shochu, whiskey, and sake)・The room was clean and the futon was very comfortable, so I had a good night's sleep.・I was able to enjoy the flow of the Yoneshiro River and the autumn leaves visible from the open air.What was disappointing・The banner for the prefectural discount is still posted on the homepage, which can cause misunderstandings (I asked at the front desk if the prefectural discount would be applied, and the reply was that it ends on the 27th. *At the time of reservation, it was 10/10. When I checked later on the 28th, there was a mention on the blog that it had ended on the 27th, which was a long time ago.)・No temperature check-When I tried to check in at the reception desk, I was asked to "please wait a moment" and the staff member went into the backyard. After that, another staff member came out from a different area and asked, "Are you checking in?" I understand that it was a busy time, but I would like you to take over and make sure I don't have to wait. It's a shame that the front staff doesn't have a smile.- Not being able to freely choose meal times. I think this is unavoidable since we were dining in a limited space, but our options were limited. (18:00, 19:00 * Fully booked, 19:30, 19:50)・I won't write about the buffet because I have a taste for it, but there was nothing elaborate and the food wasn't refilled in time. From beginning to end, the cafeteria staff seemed to be concentrating on emptying the air.(*Visit during the coronavirus pandemic)I think it's good for people who like a noisy atmosphere while eating, but this time I chose this inn as a couple who wanted to relax.I think it is recommended for comfort trips for families and elderly people.It is not recommended for those who want to enjoy a leisurely hot spring and meal.

Great lounge with free drinks.The semi-open-air bath and the indoor bath are very spacious and have the best flowing water.The local buffet for dinner is the best.There's nothing outside the hotel,Thanks to that, I didn't get bored even though I stayed for 2 nights.Most customers seem to come by car,A visit using the Hanawa Line is also a wonderful introduction to your trip.

I used it during my late summer vacation. It was a very nice hot spring inn along the river. The hot springs were very nice. I was satisfied with the quality of the hot spring water, which included a large indoor bath and an open-air bath with an outstanding view. The food was also very delicious, using locally sourced ingredients. I arrived at the station early, but the hotel arranged for me to come pick me up, take a break in the cool lobby, and check in. It was very helpful. Local sake is also good. The service from all the staff was also excellent. It was a good vacation.

2024.8Revisited after 2 years.It was in the same annex, but it was a hybrid of a bed and a futon.I'm happy to be able to eat local Akita food at the buffet. Aside from the classic kiritanpo and inaniwa udon, I'm also happy to try the junsai, which I don't often get the chance to eat.And the all-you-can-drink alcohol experience in the lounge is great even if you don't drink that much.The meditation bath in the main building, which was not there last time (I think), is a meditation bath where children are not allowed and private conversation is strictly prohibited. Perfect for a relaxing soak.However, the real pleasure of Yuze Onsen is bathing while looking at the mountain stream, so I think I prefer the open-air bath.Overall, there were no negative points, and I once again felt that it was a good hotel.2022.9The building looks quite old from the outside, but once you step inside, you'll feel at ease with the luxurious interior.The highlight is the lounge, where you can drink as much alcohol as you like!Sake, shochu, whiskey, and plum wine are always available, as well as snacks such as rice crackers and chocolate.Of course, we also have a wide selection of soft drinks, including apple juice, tea, and freshly brewed coffee.Personally, the black vinegar blueberry juice is a hit! It's not too sour and will quench your dry throat. I wonder if it also contains carbonic acid?There are indoor baths, open-air baths, and semi-open-air baths, and you can see the mountain stream from the open-air and semi-open-air baths, so you can enjoy a long bath with both sight and sound.Meals are served as a buffet in the morning and evening, with kiritanpo noodles, Inaniwa udon noodles, and local wild vegetables, allowing you to fully enjoy Akita cuisine.Even the non-local food was delicious, and I ate the yellowtail sashimi many times.The meals, rooms, baths, and services were all provided at a high level, making this an inn that I would like to visit again if I have the opportunity.
