Many customers have loved the Miyakowasure, since the Edo period, for its medicinal bath.
Miyakowasure, literally meaning to forget the city, is a quiet place where you may forget the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the great nature and the exclusive onsen (hot spring) at the end of a mountain road.The comfortable “Modern Japanese” design of the hotel, which is a mixture of Japanese and western style, is waiting for you…

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Located near the end of a rural road / track Miyowasure is a lovely modern traditional ryokan. The inn had a good English speaker on hand when we arrived and the team all were very friendly with sufficient understanding for us to enjoy our stay. Food was amazing, two of the best dinners of our trip. Location good for Kakunodate and surrounding sights.

This onsen ryokan is nestled in the mountains a bit south of Lake Tazawako. It's exquisite in every way. I stayed in many ryokan in rural Japan and Kyoto. This is right at the top. It may seem pricey but it is great value compared to other high-end ryokan in more frequented places. The website and other links show the premises. I especially note the food, like the best kaiseki. And each room has a private onsen. The outside bath is for mixed bathing, by reservation for privacy. The area is quite remote, and the environment is quiet. The service is superb as expected. There weren't English speaking staff when I was there, but as they said, they communicate from the heart. I'm planning to return this coming August.
With a bit of trepidation, I rented a car from Toyota at the Akita airport. I never drove in japan before this. It had a GPS with English option for the map and instructions. It worked perfectly. Even in this rural area, the road signs include English names, and the sign on the small road to the ryokan was clear in English. I recommend ordering the EZ pass system for tolls, so you don't have to stop. I also obtained the full insurance, luckily so because I scraped the side panel, and the Toyota staff took care of everything within minutes when I returned it to Aomori airport. No delays at all.
We also stayed in Kuroyu ryokan in Nyucto onsen, a very different place which I reviewed.

This was a treat on an otherwise very busy business trip and the facility is very nice and quaint.
Dinner and breakfast were both exceptional with the usual Japanese small bites of different foods, ranging from seafood to steak. At the end of the day, the private hot tub is a perfect way to relax.
The room is about as Japanese as westerners would imagine, with the bed being put up at the end of the day (by the staff).
Speaking of staff, very friend and helpful, although English was not a language spoken by any of them ... to my knowledge. (Our Japanese hosts arranged everything so the language wasn't a problem.)
Loved the stay, wish we could have spent more time.
