Independent Kitakami hotels

"It is a good hotel having a large public bathtub"

"The hotel exceeded our expectations and was very cozy"

"highly recommend"

"Excellent location. This is a small hotel surrounded by restaurants, cafés, etc. As it was a tatami room, I was expecting the possibility of musky odor, but thankfully there was none! 😊 Room was just right for 3 people max. The futon was soft & comfy & warm despite the crazy Akita winter (personally it was too warm, I was sweating. 😂) The only con is, because we left the window slightly ajar for air flow, we could hear the very loud & obnoxious laugh from another guest's room (I think?) which was parallel to our windows. It went on from 12~2am. Not exactly their fault & we were too sleepy to complain. 😂 "

"Really nice and clean"

"I really didn’t see much of Kitakami, I used it as a home base for sightseeing elsewhere."

"Quite a nice stay at Guesthouse Fuga. The lady owner is lovely and the included breakfast was good too. Twin room with air con quite spacious and there is a desk and chair, a couple of coathangers. Just me but if you had 2 people sharing- 1 person gets a bed, the other person gets a fold out bed. I slept fine and area very quiet. A parking spot at the front door is excellent. All rooms are upstairs so you need to be able to walk up about 15 stairs. 1 toilet and 1 washbasin upstairs but I didn't have to wait. The reason I gave it 4 stars is the shower has to be accessed by going outside the front door into a shed. Ok in mild weather as now but would not good in the winter. Towels have to be hired for 200y as at hostels. As always if you get a noisy person, they can be heard in other rooms so I had to ask a lady to be quiet at 630am. Easy walk to samurai street and restaurants. Take a torch if you go out at night as street lighting not very good."

"Great value. Super clean. Amazing breakfast. I highly recommend it. "
