Wonderful

NEverything about the hotel is superb from room to buffet food offered, the Onsen pools and self service laundry facilities. They also have professional violin entertainment in the evenings.
While the hospitality is unique with ladies in kimono bowing & greeting upon arrival & departure, the only odd thing, is no luggage assistance at all and we wonder how the elderly are able to cope.
L hotel est juste incroyable. Tout est tellement beau, toutes les zones communes decorees de sculpture et bassoin d eau, immense et de toute beaute. Les chambres sont a coupees le soufle (grandeur, deco et vue. Si vous allez dans la region c est un must!
It is located near the Ainu village. There is only one main street selling souvenirs and a watson store.
There is a path around lake Akan that you can stroll on. That is about 20 minutes walk from the hotel.
The onsen on the eight floor was beautiful overlooking the lake akan, but i did not get to use it. They have funky system, odd days women use eight floor. The men use the basement onsen. On even day it’s reversed.
The onsen on the basement is still good.
The dinner and breakfast buffet are excellent.
We really enjoyed our stay at Akan Yuku no Sato Tsuruga. The buffet dinner is a good option if you have picky eaters in your group. It’s a good location and the staff are all lovely. We got a room with a private onsen which was a wonderful addition. Would highly recommend and hope to be back soon.
Food is excellent. Onsen great. Staff cheerful and well trained. Some equipment like the Japanese style bidet had the ‘in need of service’ light flashing. Surrounding area beautiful.
Wow, what a wonderful experience. I'm surprised they only give it three stars. I feel so fortunate for having stayed there!

It’s a bit of an unusual place. It is marketed as having a connection to the Ainu community. Perhaps in a similar way how casinos on Native American reservations are marketed. The place is sort of in the middle of nowhere. But it seems very popular domestically with large crowds present. The dining is buffet style and it can get pretty crowded. The food quality is pretty good though with a wide range of food including Japanese, Chinese, and Western. The onsen is split between the basement level and eight floor between men and women on alternating days. I only went to the basement level onsen (it also seems like guests at this hotel also has access to the onsen in the next door Wings hotel, which I didn’t go to either). The basement level onsen had sort of a dark cave theme, which differed from the two other onsens I’ve been to on this trip. I’m guessing the hotel was built in the 70s. My room was a bit dated. The bathroom had a bit of an old urine smell. The room had just about everything sort of like how the long term stay hotels in the US are like (refrigerator, dishware, etc), which I don’t find necessary. Overall I find it kind of had a Vegas vibe
Authentic Japanese onsen resort. Reserved Japanese Western Room with Premium Kaiseki Dinner. Room with lake view included 2 rooms, one for sitting and other for sleeping. Included private bathroom which was clean and modern. Given Japanese robe and lounge ware to wear to onsen. This was a huge and spectacular onsen covering 2 floors with indoor and outdoor baths. Enjoyed large breakfast buffet and gourmet private dining experience. Very elaborate and meticulous and delicious. The best Kaiseki dinner we had over the course is our one month travel in Japan. Also close to walking trails around the lake. Located within walking distance to everything. Would definitely stay here again.
16 days or touring from Kyoto to Hokkaido. 8 High end hotels. This one was my very favorite!! Get a corner lake view——soooo worth it. Can’t wait to come back.
