6.3
Pros:
Onsen pretty good even through it’s not new. Breakfast pretty nice that comes with a traditional Japanese set with a mini hot pot (radish soup) and basic American buffet for western food. We stayed on top level 5. We took a very big Japanese room that can accommodate 6 paxs. View is great since it’s winter time, everywhere covered with snow.
Cons:
Location not convenient especially without much restaurants available. Due to location, we didn’t go for a snow festival that we originally planned to. Wifi really lousy, only at the lobby or onsen area are ok. Need to bring room’s towels to onsen area. Price is also on the high end.
Excellent

Pros:
The onsen was accessible by bus from JR Akita Station. Take the Onsen line and get off at Onsen Iriguchi then walk a about 100m. Once you step in, you will forget you were even in a city. The staff went out of their way to assist me. Food was good. The room was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. The entire place had a great traditional Jaspanese feel to it. I cannot sing enough praises about the bath. Try the outdoor one at least once in the winter. It's definitely an experience you cannot miss!
Cons:
I couldn't book dinner through Booking.com and when I arrived at the property I was told that there was a cutoff time for booking dinner which I didn't make because of a late flight. I wish there was an option to do this online.

Pros:
Spacious clean room, and great onsen which is really enjoyable. I like this location too for my pilgrimage because it is only 2 km from Seitai Hoshikai which houses the chapel where a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary wept many times for several years in the 70's. The hotel offers a great breakfast with large selection of food.
Cons:
Only size M and L of the Japanese robe are provided in the room. I hope it provides small size as well because it is clumsy for a small person to wear overly long robe.
