Obonai hotels from RM197

"It was an 8 night stay and what stood out for me was the hard working staff who do their jobs well! "

" One of the baths was shut down unexpectedly for repairs. They drove us to a connected hotel so we could use that facility."

"The staff were very friendly and attentive! The ryokan was beautiful in the snow. In the best possible way, we had a great time laughing with the staff over my stilted Japanese. The lady who showed us our room went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We had a lovely time at Shikitei, and I hope we return!"

"Japanese attention to detail was everywhere. Food, tatami mats, onsen and wonderful staff made us feel very welcome."

"Amazing views and got to experience the full traditional ryokan/onsen experience. Staff was very nice especially to foreigners."

"The hotel is dated. Mattress are hard. Prepared to pay a premium for ski in ski out but just wasn’t up to standard for the price. "

"Nice staff, quiet, good location for exploring the town and for meeting other people staying there. Clean."

"The hospitality of Nori-san, Chie, and their family made our stay so enjoyable. They went out of their way to ensure our comfort and shared wonderful details about their beautiful, nutritious, farm-to-table meals. We even got to tour their farm, learn about rice planting, and spot a precious firefly. The house is bright and clean, overlooking rice paddies, with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. It's also centrally located in Akita, making it easy to visit spots like Lake Tazawa, Dakigaeri Valley, and Kakunodatemachi Samurai district."

"All staff were so kind. "
