Book a hotel near Lake Kitagata, Awara

"What a wonderful experience. Friendly staff. Incredible food. Beautiful rooms. One of our first steps- we felt very pampered and will return for sure!"

"We had Suite Room B and it was very spacious and well maintained. Rurikoh had many good services (free shuttle to/from Kagaonsen train station, spa w/massages, outdoor foot onsen, taiko drum performance, free afternoon snacks), a beautiful outdoor onsen and large indoor one, very good traditional Japanese breakfast, and very welcoming staff. A short walk (approx 8 min) to several grocery stores and restaurants."

"Staff was kind. Plenty of self-service facility including vending machine, microwave oven, etc. Room is quiet even the hotel building is beside railroad tracks. Only problems are very limited parking space and early-closing restaurant."

"The food was good, most of all the amenities you had to pay for. "

"We enjoyed being able to watch the river as we bathed in the open air bath. Plenty of amenities provided, staff was super friendly and helpful, and room was lovely and spacious. Japanese breakfast was huge and delicious and it was wonderful to try some regional specialities."

"Our house was very comfortable. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We were able to walk all around town and learn so much about the deep history of Mikuni. We ate at the French restaurant one night during our stay and believe it should have a Michelin star soon! Awesome food and service. "
