Kashin-tei Shirahama

It was smaller than expected, but we had a comfortable stay. The meals were especially delicious and generous in portion size, so we were very satisfied. The staff were kind and created a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The parking lot is across the road directly in front of the Hotel, but it can be a bit hard to find, so please be careful.

Captivated by the deep blue of Lake Tazawa, I had often taken day-trip drives there over the past few years. This time, wanting to fully enjoy the fresh greenery and mountain cherry blossoms together, I decided to stay one night at an Accommodation by the lakeside. Even though it was a last-minute decision after checking the weather forecast, I was able to make a Reservation for a wonderful Room at just the right time. From the warm welcome of delicious sweets and matcha tea to the very end of my stay, every member of staff served us with heartfelt care, making our time there truly comfortable. It was an Accommodation with nothing but good memories—especially the meals, which were far beyond anything I had imagined. Freshly prepared dishes such as sashimi, dobin-mushi (steamed soup in a teapot), and beef grilled on a ceramic plate were beautifully presented so that spring could be felt with all five senses. I never expected to be served uni in its shell as well. Breakfast was also excellent, featuring plenty of ingredients from Akita. This was a truly high-quality Accommodation that I would love to visit again someday in another season.
