Akita Prefecture Beach Hotel

"We enjoyed our stay at this hotel as it is in a very convenient location (<5 minutes from the JR station). The staff were nice and we were checked in fairly quickly. There are 4 laundry machines for this hotel to be used by the guests and we did not experience any long wait times. The only thing I was not a fan of were the pillows as they were kind of hard and not comfortable to sleep on. "

"My childhood friend and I stayed at your hotel during our two week vacation to Japan. From parking to check-in to dinner to breakfast to check out it was a seamless streamlined experience. The staff was wonderful and the lovely gentleman at check-in was so kind patient and helpful."

"Excellent location, helpful staff, great views from our 10th floor room and a very good price when booked 1 month ahead.."

"Kashintei Shirahama is definitely one of the best Japanese ryokans we have visited. Location wise it's perfectly located right by Lake Tazawa, 30 minutes from Kakunodate, ski resort, Dakigaeri Valley, Tatsuko statue. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, especially Nori-san and Minori. Whenever we hit a snag with our communications, Google Translate would hop in. The first floor is where the private onsen and public onsen are located. The rooms are on 3rd,4th and 5th, with 5 units on each floor. We got the room with 2 double beds. We ordered the half board option so we have Japanese breakfast and kaiseki dinner for 2 days. There's no duplicate dish, and we got to enjoy many Akita specialty such as Kiritanpo, Hinai chicken, Inaniwa udon. Every single dish is exquisite in taste and is a piece of art. The meals are served at a private dining room. You can also use the private onsen free off charge, it's first come first serve for 40 minutes max. There's a free parking lot across there street and elevator, so it's not of a concern with moving the luggage to the room. The bed is very comfortable, we slept like a baby. It's very relaxing vibe."

"The food was very delicious and the staff were very supportive."

"Comfortable bed, spacious bathroom in Japanese standards, quiet, served its purpose. It’s about 27 minutes walk from the train station but easy with local bus. Close to the Akita museum."

"We were there only 2 nights, room was clean and nearby stations "

"A bit of a walk to the station but if you have a car it's fine, plenty of food options down the road and easy to get around."

"Very good hospitality."
