Hotels near Kakunodate Station, Senboku

The location was excellent, the breakfast buffet was good also.

Staff very courteous, very new and clean, location very good - could walk everywhere. Nice entrance and presentation

This place exceeded my expectations in every way. Well located a few minutes away from the station, with a supermarket 1 minute away and easy access to nature. Everything was convenient, clean and pretty, but above everything else was the owners kindness. Constantly present and helpful, they were a delight and an absolute pleasure to chat with. I intend to come visit Akita again, I don't know when, but I'll make sure to come back to this hostel.

The hostess is one of the sweetest humans you will ever meet. She went out of her way to ensure my comfort, supporting requests and making suggestions. Hearty conversation and free sake! I loved meeting this lady and staying in her very well located and decent place.

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this incredible accommodation during my visit to Kakunodate. The entire house was mine to enjoy — with a beautifully preserved traditional Japanese section and a comfortable Western-style area. It struck the perfect balance between authenticity and convenience, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the local culture while still feeling right at home. The location couldn’t have been better — situated right in the heart of Kakunodate’s cultural district, directly along the famous samurai house street. It was an unforgettable experience to wake up in such a historic setting and step right out into one of Japan’s best-preserved Edo-period neighborhoods. The host went far above and beyond. He was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly generous. He allowed me to check in early, offered free use of a bicycle (which turned out to be the perfect way to explore the charming streets and hidden spots), and even gave me a free ride to the train station when I left — something I deeply appreciated. If I ever return to Kakunodate — and I truly hope I will — I can only wish this accommodation is still available. I would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat. It was one of the highlights of my trip.

This house has everything you need and it is clean, spacious and so cozy! The landscape around it is also superb. We spent 5 wonderful days there and will do it again.
