Kyukamura Iwanome hotels

"Warm bedroom and reliable hot water for showering in winter. Good for a night in Kakunodate, or more. Breakfast (if purchased when booking) was served in the guesthouse's Italian restaurant just beside. Thin walls though the other guests were considerate to minimise noise during my stay. The owner, Eiko, is a very easygoing and friendly lady. I regret I had to leave."

"It was an 8 night stay and what stood out for me was the hard working staff who do their jobs well! "

"Amazing views and got to experience the full traditional ryokan/onsen experience. Staff was very nice especially to foreigners."

"The hotel is dated. Mattress are hard. Prepared to pay a premium for ski in ski out but just wasn’t up to standard for the price. "

"The hospitality of Nori-san, Chie, and their family made our stay so enjoyable. They went out of their way to ensure our comfort and shared wonderful details about their beautiful, nutritious, farm-to-table meals. We even got to tour their farm, learn about rice planting, and spot a precious firefly. The house is bright and clean, overlooking rice paddies, with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. It's also centrally located in Akita, making it easy to visit spots like Lake Tazawa, Dakigaeri Valley, and Kakunodatemachi Samurai district."

"Awesome host. I recommend the meal plan since it was all really delicious. I’ll definitely stay here again. "
