Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Semboku
For travelers visiting Semboku, the transit strategy depends heavily on your point of origin. The closest gateway is Akita Airport (AXT), which is located in a nearby city but provides the most direct and efficient access to Semboku via shared taxi or rental car. Odate Noshiro Airport (ONJ) is another strong choice, particularly for budget-conscious travelers, though it is located in the neighboring city of Kitaakita. Both Shonai Airport (SYO) and Misawa Airport (MSJ) serve neighboring cities and involve longer, more complex ground transfers through the rugged Tohoku landscape, making them less ideal unless flight availability dictates otherwise. Finally, Sendai Airport (SDJ) is a major international gateway serving a neighboring city; while it offers extensive flight options, it requires a significant train journey connecting through regional Shinkansen lines. Ultimately, Akita Airport (AXT) offers the best balance of travel time and accessibility for those heading directly to Semboku's famous samurai districts and lakes.

The hotel is new and clean. Although the room is small and there is no breakfast restaurant, the service staff are enthusiastic and friendly.
The location is excellent, in the center of Kakunodate, near Samurai House, Hinoki Uchigawa and local specialty restaurants. It was a pleasant stay experience!FromUS$105

From the moment we walked in the door to the morning we left we were made to feel completely at home and welcomed like old friends. Everything was so beautifully presented and we slept so well. Receiving tickets to the local Onsen was a lovely surprise. If you decide to only do the breakfast plan we highly recommend making reservations for dinner in local restaurants asap after you arrive as they fill up very quickly. Breakfast at the hotel restaurant was attention to detail in presentation and completely delicious 😋. Highly recommended and would definitely love to stay again in a different season to see everything in a different light.Amazing5 Reviews

The 5 hot spring hotels in Nütou Township that are open in winter have all gone to the hot springs. This one is very good and the service is very attentive and caring. The open-air mixed soup is facing the waterfall and is open to women for one hour a day. Each room has half an hour of free private soup. The room has floor-to-ceiling windows, the snow view outside the window is beautiful, and the middle of the room is a kotatsu, which is very warm. The meals are also very delicate. The service staff are all uncles, very kind, and work hard to learn Chinese. Arrive at the store early, will arrange to wait in the restaurant, provide snacks and tea, use the waiting time to introduce in-store facilities in detail, and make an appointment for private soup.Family friendly

Great location, but the rooms are a bit dusty.
The girl at the reception in not the most friendly/smiley, but they were nice as they kept my bag for 1 night and when I mistakenly booked for 2pax they agreed to make me pay for 1pax (after I asked).
Overall ok.FromUS$26

The hotel services and parking spaces are very good. Although the food value is not high, the taste is very good and there are many kinds, and it is very attentive. It is ready for you before you take a seat. The open-air hot spring is the most positive! The scenery is very beautiful.13 Reviews

There is no toilet in the room, which is inconvenient for the traditional wooden houses of the building, retro style, but there will be sound on the floor when walking up, which is easy to disturb the guests.

This hot spring hotel is in a very good location, right by the lake. The owner gave us a room with a beautiful view of the lake. The hotel is quite decent, the facilities are not new, but they are very clean. The service is also very satisfactory, but it cannot be said to be very exquisite in details. The entrance to the room is relatively narrow, making it difficult to place suitcases. The hot spring is very good and very comfortable. Dinner was okay, but breakfast was a bit basic. I rode around Lake Tazawa for a week and found several hot spring hotels that were out of operation. It is probably due to the impact of the epidemic in the past few years, which has led to a reduction in market supply, while demand continues to recover. Therefore, it is obvious that the price of hot spring hotels in Japan is now higher than before the epidemic. It is at least twice as expensive, but the service quality is slightly lower than before the epidemic.FromUS$73

I went there during the cherry blossom season, but there were a lot of cherry trees in front of the hotel, so I could see it from the room, and it was good to be able to take a walk in the morning while looking at the cherry
It was a little inconvenient to have to cross the other side of the road to eat bath and rice from the room, but overall it was good.FromUS$42

The hotel is located on a mountain. In late April, the cherry blossoms at the foot of the mountain were in full bloom, but there was still some snow around the hotel. Lake Tazawa in spring, especially on a sunny day, is absolutely stunning; the water is a deep blue, just like the sea. We had great weather during our stay. Every morning after breakfast, we'd take the hotel's shuttle bus to Tazawa-ko Station to catch the Komachi Shinkansen to Kakunodate, Akita, and Morioka to see the cherry blossoms. In the afternoons, we'd take the Shinkansen back to Tazawa-ko Station, then the shuttle back to the hotel for dinner and a hot spring bath. The hotel service was excellent, and considering the price, the food was quite good too!FromUS$35

The hotel is an old-fashioned hot spring hotel with a quiet environment and free parking.
Although the waiter does not understand English, it is also good to take the initiative to try to solve the problem we need to solve.
The slope outside the hotel is very steep and steep, drivers must be careful 
There is no store outside the hotel, you need to eat at the hotel, although the food is not too good, but full of Japanese flavor can accept FromUS$122

Apologies for the rather low score on service but as this is an unmanned hotel, and I had no direct experience of utilising the help line, I could not rate any higher; I did bump into the cleaning ladies, who are doing an excellent job, on my early morning departure, and they were most kind. The hotel is right next to the train station and has its own storage lockers as well as a beautifully maintained lobby with excellent amenities, including vending machines and freely available teas and coffee. The room was well appointed and clean and there was no noise, as expected in a more rural area. The day before check-in, one will receive an email and will be asked to fill out a pre-check in procedure which will produce a QR code necessary when actually checking in at the machines upon arrival-there are no staff on site. This proved seamless for myself, but may be somewhat perplexing or frustrating for older folks or those, like myself, who are not so technologically literate. There is a help button for those who may need it. I was delighted to find that there are coin operated washing/drying machines available. Nearby, there are cafes and bakeries and everything worth seeing is within manageable walking distance. Walking a little further will bring one to some lovely shrines at the end of the town and on the opposite end a beautiful view overlooking the town and the cherry blossom lined river. Having missed cherry blossom season by a few weeks, the view at both sunrise and sunset was worn the extra steps. Do try the local udon, the set pictured was from Machiya Hall and was most delicious.FromUS$48

This was my first time staying at Shin-Tamagawa Onsen. The lobby was spacious and clean. My room was a twin, and the bed was spacious.
The hot springs exceeded my expectations, and my body felt a bit tingly, but I later learned that there was a waiting list. The second time, I made sure to start with the weak acidity bath, so it was fine. The food was buffet-style, and included many dishes not available at other hotels, and was very delicious. It's a hotel I'd like to return to many times.FromUS$98
