We stayed here as part of a family trip round Aomori. (Myself and two daughters, 11 and 14, and my aunt, visiting us from overseas). I don't know if this hotel markets itself particularly to overseas  visitors, and I can't really vouch for the English ability of the staff, as I spoke Japanese with them. But they were some of the most obliging and friendly people I have ever encountered at a hotel in Japan! We were greeted and seen off every time we came in or went out. When we left, one of the staff got their car out and drove us all to the bus station, which was only 8 mins walk away but very helpful with our luggage. The hotel is handy to the main attractions--the lakefront, of course, and the Maidens statue, the shrine and the shops.

Most hotels by Lake Towada, which are nearly all Japanese-style inns, will expect you to eat dinner and breakfast there. Since my aunt was from overseas, I thought we didn't need THAT much Japanese food. This was one of the few hotels that will allow you to pick which meals to have there. As expected, the breakfast was very Japanese but high quality and plenty for everyone. Be warned if you don't take dinner at the inn--there isn't much open after evening, but we found a nice pub near the lakefront and had a good dinner there.

I loved all the little extras that Yugetsu had: Bicycles for use free of charge (lovely to cycle round the lake in the early morning), an 'ashiyuu' foot bath at the entrance for soaking feet, traditional Japanese games and crafts in the lobby (my kids enjoyed showing these to their great aunt), table tennis, relaxation chair, etc. The onsen (Japanese baths) were attractive and relaxing, and the room itself was comfortable Japanese-style. Another nice touch was getting to chose our own yukata--cotton kimono for sleeping in or relaxing in after the onsen. A lovely assortment of colors and designs. (Most places have a standard blue or grey design for everyone.)

Highly recommended! Would stay there again for sure.

Exceeded Expectations! Gem of an inn

A very large room, though the bathroom was typically minute. We came
outside the tourist season, when most of the hotels were closed. On
arrival, we thought this hotel was closed too, as there was nobody on
reception and no response to calling out. We went to the petrol station opposite, who telephoned the hotel and we were then welcomed to the hotel. Apparently, we were the only guests and expected to arrive later.
Dinner and breakfast were Japanese; excellent in quality and enormous in quantity. In early April, it was extremely cold and none of the boats were 
operating on the lake. A perfect place for an autumn visit.

A two and a quarter hour bus ride from Hachinohe station, the journey to and from Hachinohe is probably the best part of the trip, as the JR bus
drivers stop along the way for passengers to photograph all the main
Waterfalls along the route.

An interesting place, no doubt better in the tourist season and some of the
other hotels have better views of the lake. Nonetheless, the food and the
hot spring baths make this hotel worth a visit.


A Japanese hotel

Staffs are polite and helpful. Dinner are great. The room is a bit small. The day I stayed was public holidays in Japan so the hotel was full. Onsen area was crowded. 

It takes around 5 mins walk to the center of Towadako. Hotel car park and wifi are free.
