Meals were easily the most intricate and most sophisticated of all the Ryokans I've tried. They go out of their way to showcase Akita specialties, which I really appreciate as it means I need not travel to restaurants specially to try them.
They provide a private dining room and I cheekily thought to myself that this is so you can lick your plate clean! Indeed it was so delicious that if the Michelin inspectors came, I am sure they will get a star.
Best service out of all the ryokans I went to - everyone is super attentive and super responsive. On the booking.com app, they were the most prompt to respond to messages. They had good recommendations for me on what I could do around Lake Tazawako and the surrounding area. Other examples of exemplary service: They took the initiative to ask me if I would like a picture with my meal (as I was a solo traveller). How delightful! Out of all the ryokans I stayed in, this is the only one who did that. Another example: they asked me if they could clean my room while I am out. This is unlike other hotels and ryokans that instead ask if I would like my room cleaned (assuming that the default is no).
The room was of a most excellent layout with good separation of different areas and a good size such that it makes you feel like you are living in your own apartment and not so much a resort. The bed was also very comfortable - there is something special about the bed linens. They were so refreshing to the touch and so comfortable.
At every corner there are thoughtful gestures - a little bench for you to admire a view, the tatami flooring throughout. Every effort has been made to make it a special and premium experience. Even the toilet is larger than some of what I’ve seen and has charming and tasteful decorations.
I am so glad I tried out Kashintei Shirahama and hope to be back!

Considering the price, I was quite surprised in positive. The hotel is quite old and it needs some renovations. The room was really big, even if not really modern. The restaurant close to the hotel it is quite good and the onsen is also really nice. The staff was really friendly and helpful, it is nice also to receive on the front door every morning brew instructions on the onsen time and also some new amenities . The room was really warm as it was quite cold outside.

The first thing that came to my mind was the food. Both dinner and breakfast were undeniably yummy for our liking.
The place was well maintained, immaculately clean. Bedroom was spacious for the three of us. Futons were great.
Staff members were helpful and able to speak English.

Experience culture authentically with a stay at this traditional Japanese-style accommodation. Sleep on the floor (on a futon roll) in a room furnished with tatami flooring and sliding doors. Guests can often expect access to a communal bath plus a complimentary Japanese garment called a yukata.
Loved that there was plenty of information on onsen etiquette in English - but only at the indoor onsen.
The family room was spacious.
Loved the interactive art in the main corridor - a great way to spark conversations with other guests (even with language barriers).
The hotel had great "bones" with a 1980s luxe feel.
Outdoor onsen was amazing. Location was great. It’s a big hotel but very traditional Japanese. Other first rate onsens nearby. Half board was very good (nowhere else to eat nearby). Shinkansen stops at Tazawako close by so easy to access. Very little English spoken but staff went out of their way to be helpful.
The dinner and breakfast buffets were really great, the staff attentive and very friendly. The surrounding mountains are impressive and the onsen bath with a relatively big outdoor part is great.
The hotel is super conveniently located right next to the trainstation. It has a buffet-breakfast which is quite satisfactory and they have washing-machines available and the staff is very helpful, able to help with calling taxi-services to pick you up from, for example, a remote onsen.
The property is situated just beside lake Tazawa which is delightful. The rooms are spacious and we had a separate dining area opposite our room. It is a traditional Japanese hotel with futon beds and kaiseki dinner plus a Japanese breakfast. It also has a ladies, mens and private onsen.
great location - helpful staff who organised theatre tickets for us and lent us a kettle when we requested one.
very beautiful room - comfy futons and quilts
lovely onsen and sauna
The guesthouse feels like a homestay. It's Japanese style with a spacious tatami living room, but with beds in the dormitory, very comfortable sleeping quarters. The toilet is in the garage just next to bedrooms, but there's no sink downstairs. You brush your teeth in the kitchen. There's a small oven and microwave, and tea bags. It's convenient to the Samurai street, and the onsen (700 ¥) is just 5 minutes away.
