The on-site restaurant had a limited meal selection and was next to a very noisy inside waterfall. We stayed in a Japanese style room, it was an experience but as a westerner sleeping on the floor was not much fun. The hotel is well located close to the water front, the ferry terminal and lake side walks.

Hotel is quite old but still comfortable enough. Good location , close to JR bus stop and lake ferry.
Onsen was very busy but big enough to cater for everyone. Outdoor onsen was not too hot which was good. Big hotel, lots of tour groups. I am an individual traveller.

Furnishing are old but has it's charm. Room was spacious Japanese style with wide windows, view of pretty autumn foliage below. Regret unable to try the outdoor onsen, too cold. Courteous staff. Enjoyed the peaceful environment.

This is an amazing peaceful place. Just perfect for calming minds and taking care of your body in local thermal water.
Interior in this hotel is so charming and very traditional. Everybody from the stuff is also really cute and polite.
I think if we return here next time in the summer it will be even more interesting with more available facilities of this area. But even now, in middle of April it’s so good and nice.

One feature of the hotel I truly enjoyed was the historical and cultural artwork on display. My room was sizable. The onsen is amazing. The hotel is close to the small town. The staff could be friendlier and have a more positive attitude. The food was very reasonably priced. However you got what you paid for. Cafeteria style food in a cafeteria setting. Many items seemed frozen or canned. Stay here, enjoy the onsen and eat elsewhere .

A lovely hotel by Lake Towada that is beginning to show its age. It’s a perfectly fine place to stay, and it’s in a nice location, but it feels so empty, having such a large hotel with so few guests.

Local food
We enjoyed Sashimi of Himemasu, Towada Barayaki and Hachinohe Senbeijiru for dinner.
It will be much better if local craft beer is available.

Spacious room in Japanese Style
5 people road trip to Lake Towadaso.
Japanese style hotel with public bathing.
The room is much spacious than expected.It is clear with comfort futon.
The only drawback is the weird pickle-like smell when entering the room.
