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.

Katakuri No Hana

The environment is very good. The hotel is right next to the lake. If you make a reservation, the merchant will pick you up at the JR station by car. The hot spring is also very comfortable and worth visiting.

Love the location and the private onsen with lake view, you have option to reserve this by yourself so it’s quite convenient as we have a room for ourselves for 30 minutes to enjoy the onsen and the views. The building is quite old from outside but the room and amenities are quite okay, they provided everything you needed for your stay. We would love to go back for the cherry blossoms

Tazawako Lake Resort & Onsen

Semboku
|4.61km from city center
The five-person room was a little cramped, but although the room was a bit old, it was very clean. Dinner and breakfast were both buffet style; the selection wasn't extensive, but the ingredients were fresh and tasty. There was a free drink bar and popsicles outside the large public bath, and inside the bath, there were children's toys for soaking, which is rare in Japanese hot springs. Overall, if you plan to visit nearby attractions, it's a great accommodation choice.

Café & Inn That Sounds Good

Semboku
|6.1km from city center
Very nice experience. The cafe has a warm and cozy ambience. The room is unique too with nice lakeview. The meals are special too. It is better to order meals during this period as you cannot find food elsewhere easily. It’s strongly recommended to visit the Lake Tazawa. The water is so calm and clear and clean.
