Kosaka Hotels with Wifi

"This hotel, located on the Akita Prefecture side of Lake Towada, exceeded our expectations in terms of both accommodation space and dining experience. It's a highly competitive choice in the area, perfect for our self-drive trip with three people. **Room and Environment:** The Japanese tatami room was more than spacious enough for three of us. The hotel's location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from Lake Towada, making it very convenient for morning or evening strolls. **Signature Robatayaki Dinner:** The dinner was the absolute highlight of our stay. The 'Robatayaki' experience offered at the restaurant was not only theatrical but also featured incredibly fresh ingredients, including scallops, prawns, seasonal vegetables, and the unique mentaiko-stuffed chicken. What truly stood out was the integration of Akita's traditional 'Kiritanpo' rice sticks, grilled with a rich miso sauce, offering an authentic local flavor. A dedicated chef managed the grilling and cooking right in front of us, allowing guests to simply relax and enjoy the delicious food – the service was impeccable. Furthermore, there was a diverse selection of additional ingredients and beverages available for purchase, catering to various tastes. **Onsen Facilities:** The next morning, we experienced the hotel's onsen facilities. The large public bath, separated for men and women, was clean and comfortable, an ideal spot for relaxation. **Transportation and Summary:** The hotel is situated in a tranquil environment. As there are no nearby train stations, a self-drive is highly recommended, and the hotel provides convenient parking for guests. Considering the generous room size, professional dining service, and reasonable prices, this is a hotel with excellent value for money. I highly recommend it to travelers planning an in-depth visit to Lake Towada."

"It was a calm hotel. The room was large and clean and the site was green and nice. I will stay again if I have another chance."

"The hotel boasts a pleasant, tranquil, and beautiful location, and the owner and staff are incredibly welcoming! It's very close to other tourist attractions, allowing you to leisurely enjoy Lake Towada! The natural hot springs are fantastic, especially the semi-open-air area 👍. Breakfast and dinner are plentiful and delicious 😋"

"The all-wood building of the Muming Hotel, after check-in, I found that it is a treasure hotel. Not only the architectural structure, but also the services are very traditional. From the pick-up driver, the front desk to the restaurant service, it really allows guests to enjoy the intimate, comfortable and thoughtful Japanese service 👍"

"We stayed for three nights, including breakfast and dinner, and it definitely lived up to the hype for its food and scenery. While the hotel facilities are pretty standard, the environment is absolutely exceptional. It's only tens of meters from Lake Towada, surrounded by lush green spaces, big trees, and the lake itself – the beauty from this distance is captivating. Both meals and the shuttle bus need to be booked in advance. The schedule was: 7:30 AM breakfast, 9:30 AM departure, 4:00 PM return, 5:00 PM dinner, 6:30 PM evening walk, 8:30 PM hot springs, and 10:30 PM deep sleep. Day one poured rain, day two was spent in Yasumiya, taking a boat cruise, and visiting Towada Shrine. Day three was a 10km hike along the Oirase Stream followed by a final goodbye to Yasumiya. Day four was departure. A perfect experience overall! If I had to point out one minor drawback, it would be that the hotel service felt a bit cold. I understood not having our room cleaned on the first day, but not having it cleaned at all for three days felt a little odd. Also, for a stay that included breakfast and dinner, drinks at dinner on the third night were charged separately. It wasn't expensive, but no explanation was given. No 'do not disturb' sign was hung on the door, yet no cleaning. Drinks were offered with dinner on the first two nights, but not on the third. The hotel's onsen only has one large outdoor pool, and it's quite hot – it felt like half water, half fire, which was very enjoyable."
