    Personnel was super nice. The man doing the transit to and from the Kakunodate station was the sweetest person there is. The madam working at the restaurant was very kind and friendly. Amenities are great, the onsen open all night is a huge sell...

    Excellent option if you're in need of accomodation and want to ski Tazawako and also go have a look at Kakunodate. Clean and comfortable with an excellent onsen! Staff were very helpful too, and the on-site restaurant was outstanding.

    It's amazing. Not too close from the station. But they arrange shuttle bus for free. And the living environment is quiet and fully equipped

    シングルで予約しましたが、広い部屋でした。 かなり年代の経過した建物ですが、それがまた一つの味かも知れません。 全体的に清潔でしたので気になる事は有りませんでした。

    LOVED the breakfast spread and the access to onsen. I went at an early hour and it was very peaceful. We were able to see sakura from the window of our room. We only stayed one day but enjoyed our stay!

Property information

Onsen Yupopo is a hot spring inn that enjoys the food and culture of Akita entirely! It is halfway between the small Kyoto "Kakunodate" and the mysterious lake "Tazawako". You can use the hot spring even on a day trip. It is approximately 10 minutes by car from Kakunodate Station, and a shuttle bus (reservation required) also operates! ※ All rooms are non-smoking rooms. ※ In order to go to the hot spring from the room where you stay, it is necessary to move to the building on the other side by using the corridor. ※ The staff can speak almost anything except Japanese, but we have a translator at the front desk.
