도와다코산소우

We drove here so not much comment on the convenience, but it’s far away from the lake so don’t expect any views from the hotel. The place is far from any entertainment so no convenient stores or cafes. No vending machines in the ryokan either. Staff cannot call as not impolite but definitely not adding any points to the hotel. Fotons need to be made by guests and no service was provided. All rooms are on 2nd floor and guests need to carry luggage to the room by themselves. The worst part is the facility. The webpage shows basically no description about the facility and you can expect nothing. No toilet or basin in the room so guests need to come outside to use toilet or to wash hands. Onsen pools are super small, with local guests commenting “false onsen”. One tiny pool is probably warm tap water, the other tiny pool doesn’t feel like onsen at all. Frankly speaking, dinner was acceptable compared to other parts of the ryokan, but still not adding any points to it. Breakfast was perfunctory. Hate to say it but it’s the worst ryokan I have ever stayed in. Especially compared to the one that I stayed 3 days later in Kawatabi Onsen. The price may be competitive compared to others in Towada Lake but I guess you would rather top up for a normal onsen or skip ryokan in this area.

worst experience. the room and mattress are dirty and cause allergic on the skin of my wife. i cancelled the booking and make another booking for 2 nights, however the owner read in the way that it is still one night as the second night is cancelled based on another booking. they ask me to go or else pay for another night. i had to pay for another night and luckily is able to claim back from agoda. however wasted me a lot of time to call agoda, email agoda and talk to owner thru google translate.
