Great stay, Great owner and Great view
Overall, it was satisfactory for staying a night. The twin room was cozy with wide two soft beds and a balcony, which was great for having morning tea. 5 min. walk from the Towada Lake, JR bus station. Owner & Owner's family was so kind and considerate that I would like to visit again.

I have not stayed in any backpackers lodge before. Towadako Backpackers will be the next alternative if you cannot book a decent hotel nearby.

Japanese style room with beds.
I stay in a twin rooms. Room decorate in japanese style , but have beds to sleep with japanese blanket which very soft, (not sleep on floor like other japanese styles rooms). Breakfast served in "bento" and good taste.

Fall in Yasumiya
Hotel staff is very friendly and most helpful. Onsite food is very reasonably priced and very good.Rooms are clean and efficient. It is not fancy but very nice. It is more like staying at a friend's house rather than at a hotel which creates a lovely atmosphere.

I loved the place as it gives a lot of freedom, people can order food or cook on their own, it is very friendly and I would go back anytime!
