I had a very comfortable stay at Hotel KAN-RAKU. Staff were friendly and the room was attractively furnished and quiet. It was easy to relax here. I'm happy I finally got to stay here! I was due to travel to Akita in August last year, but for a number of reasons out of my control I was unable to. During this time, the staff were incredibly accommodating with my changing dates and eventual cancellation. When I had the chance to visit Akita again, I knew that I wanted to stay here as the staff had been so accommodating in the summer. I'm pleased to say that the staff here are just as welcoming and accommodating in person ☺️ The hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the station and Senshū Park, the Akita Museum of Art and the Akarenga-kan museum are all within walking distance making it a great base to explore Akita city.

The rooms were quiet to sleep and comfortable beds. You can ask for a different pillow if the pillows provided are different to what you like (for women only) they have a full rack of them. Excellent dining area, with some free drinks ( local, wine and spirits if stocks are there) between 1700 & 2100. Heaps of different beers and other drinks in the machines right there. Super friendly staff, super best breakfast (Japanese style) but very lovely. We had a great stay.

Free drinks at times, the breakfast, the staff and the good nights sleep.

close proximity to train stations. lots of restaurants in the area. I like the room size , we pay for a bit extra for bigger room but we get to open our big luggages in our room for packing after shopping is nice. I find Japanese hotels tend to be very small room size if you don't pay a bit extra for bigger rooms . by the way, hotel sign on the building is in Japanese words. if you can't read Japanese you might need a bit extra time to locate the hotel.

I wish they have more choices on breakfast. I saw on their website they have rice balls to offer only . so we didn't get the breakfast option. but nearby got plenty of restaurants, you could definitely find other breakfast options .

Wow. We stayed for one night after hotel-hopping quite a bit in Japan, and this place was immediately put on our list of favorite ones. Well maintained and super-clean and modern. The room had a large desk where you could work, really comfy bed, and the bathroom was spacious and clean. Breakfast area had such a nice and relaxed atmosphere. There was even a public bath available for the guests! Free of charge! I can't believe this was the cheapest hotel we stayed at. Such a wonderful hotel.

I'm sad we could not stay longer.

The hotel is aptly located near Senhū Park, as well as restaurants like Izakayas - essential in a busy area. The hotel was lovely, you had your own bath or you could choose the public bath within the building itself. Breakfast being available is a good option as well. Staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Breakfast choice was mediocre in terms of selection choices.

It was a nice hotel for the price, they offered to make up the room everyday and if you put a do not disturb sign, they would still provide you with a change of towels and trash bags. Check in was quick and the staff were very helpful. The sento was normal.

That the carpark was behind the Lawsons about 200m down the street. The hotel front is quite nondescript and easy to miss as well. I guess it would also be q a walk from the station for those who don't drive.

Know a lot complain about distance from the station, however the hotel is right next to the main entertainment street, which I really enjoyed when getting food. Really nice hotel and friendly staff.

Not the hotels fault, but Google maps had problems finding the place. For anyone who cares, just follow the left side of the river going south, then you can't miss the hotel.

The location was quite handy to the city centre with interesting food options nearby including a craft brewhouse and tasty bakery.

You should consider pre-booking a car park space for the hotel as there is limited availability - however, plenty of parking providers nearby.

Clean, helpful and friendly staff, cleaners were always on par with their service as well, replacing room amenities daily.

Fantastic location with car parking. Business hotel but very clean and new. Bath house on ground floor. Breakfast is so so but for the price no complaints. Room and bed was comfortable and practical.
