Hotel Towadaso

It was a large Ryokan with a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere. The lobby, souvenir corner, and hall were spacious and decorated with ornaments that kept it visually interesting.The facilities are old but well-maintained and clean, so there was no discomfort.We chose a breakfast-only plan, and the breakfast was quite satisfying.The corridors leading to the bath and breakfast venue had points of interest that made the walk enjoyable.I felt this facility paid great attention to detail. The staff were polite and kind. It turned out to be a very pleasant trip.One concern was seeing someone moving around inside with their pet dog not in a cage. Since my children have allergies, I would appreciate some clear boundaries for guests with pets. I wasn’t aware it was pet-friendly when making the reservation; knowing this in advance would have been helpful, which left me feeling slightly disappointed.

I was looking for accommodation to explore Oirase and chose this place as an affordable option near Lake Towada. Although I expected it to be crowded due to being fully booked, the facility was very spacious, so it didn’t bother me. The large bath and the waterfall were impressive. Since the group guests arrived late at night after Nebuta festivities, both dinner and the bath were rather quiet. The shop had a great selection, from ice cream to traditional crafts. The experienced staff worked efficiently, leaving a good impression. As mentioned in reviews, it’s old but comfortable. Thank you for your hospitality!
