10 km from Akita Station in Akita, みんなの実家門脇家 features accommodation with access to a hot tub. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. I loved this place! It was very easy to get to by car, and I was the only guest in the entire house. The owners are so nice, and always willing to chat with you. They don't know much English so it is better if you know Japanese. However, your stay will still be a very comfortable one as they go above and beyond to meet all your expectations.

Located just 14 km from Konakano Station, 津軽三味線と民謡 ゲストハウス繭子の宿 features accommodation in Hachinohe with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as a 24-hour front desk. A hot tub is available for guests. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. We loved everything about our stay here! The location is very peaceful, the Japanese style room was very prettily decorated and spacious, and the Miyako and her husband were fabulous hosts. They were so friendly and helpful, and made us feel very well cared for. Miyako prepared delicious and generous meals for us that were absolutely beautiful. She was also a huge help with arranging luggage transfer for us as we began our planned hike along the Michinoku trail. And she and her husband offered to drive us to and from Hachinohe station at a very reasonable rate, which is a big help and big time saver because Hachinohe is very spread out.

Offering a garden and inner courtyard view, Guest House Chara is located in Hirosaki, 34 km from Sannai-Maruyama site and 3.5 km from Hirosaki Castle. This guest house provides free private parking, free shuttle service and free WiFi. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming - there was also a breakfast included (which I didn't remember getting). The house was full of history and souvenirs which I'm sure the hosts are more than happy to talk to you about. There is also "sake nights" where the hosts offered us a chance to try different sakes. There is only one shower in the facility, so there is a booking system to reserve your shower slot.

At the guest house, the romantic restaurant is open for dinner, lunch and cocktails and serves Italian cuisine. The guest house is located in a geothermal area, with a number of hot springs nearby for guests to relax in. Fantastic location, right on Uwanodai slope - actual ski-in ski-out. Host was extremely friendly and helpful, the food in the restaurant was great and good value. Nice draught beer! Shower in room with a shared hot bath that could be booked for free. There's a ski/boot room in the basement that opens onto the slope. The decor is a bit dated but in a very charming way.
