"The room was new, clean, and tidy. The large public bath with its sauna was great. The service was excellent. The minor drawbacks were that it was a bit far from the convenience store and there weren't many restaurants nearby."

"We chose to stay at Oga Peninsula's Yuinoyado Bettei Tsubaki, an inn located on the coast about 3km from Nyudozaki, which is located at the northwestern tip of the Oga Peninsula. When we entered the inn, we were greeted by a Namahage statue in the lobby in front of the entrance. Our room plan was a normal Japanese-style room, with a slight view of the ocean and Mount Kanpu in the distance. The best thing about this inn is the food. The Oga Peninsula is surrounded by the ocean on three sides, so of course seafood arrives one after another. It's delicious enough in itself, but as dinner progressed, there was a demonstration of Oga's specialty, fisherman's cuisine, "stone-grilled cuisine." It's a soup dish made with seafood caught in Oga and vegetables, and a hot stone is thrown into the bucket. It was a very impressive performance. After the show, the soup was brought to our table, and it was delicious, full of the flavor of seafood and vegetables."

"We stayed in the glamping tents on our trip to see the kantou matsuri. The tent was spacious, even with 3 in the tent. The air conditioning was a life saver as it was very hot outside. We were very close to the bathroom facilities where there were toilets, showers, and kitchen space. The hotel allowed us to use the onsen in the main hotel and there was free gelato cups next to the onsen. The women's onsen was supplied with face wash, lotion, hair brush, dryer etc. We had everything we needed, and it was a great experience."

"The staff who checked us in and served us breakfast were wonderful. However, when we tried to use the bar in the evening, we were disappointed that the staff were constantly chatting with locals and completely ignored us. There was only one other group there and they weren't busy, so it was a shame that they treated us that way intentionally. In the end, it didn't feel like we could order anything, so we gave up and left, but even then, no one came over to us. Even if you book the most expensive room, you get this kind of treatment, and I felt that this hotel doesn't offer service commensurate with the price."

"The facilities were clean and fashionable and we were able to stay comfortably. The sauna was good, but I felt inconvenient that there was a shower on another floor that could wash my body. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was polite and comfortable!"

"Take the Oga Line from Akita Station to Oga Station. The hotel has a shuttle bus at 2:45 PM, but reservations need to be made two days in advance. Thanks to Ctrip customer service for helping me make the reservation. The journey from Oga Station to the hotel takes about 25 minutes. Oga Onsen-kyo is truly a declining onsen-kyo; there are only a few hotels, practically nothing else! If you don't have a car, choose your hotel carefully. Don't change hotels, otherwise you'll have nowhere to go during the day—don't ask me how I know. The hotel is just an ordinary hotel."

"If you go further the Tohoku Region. There is a small town called Oga and it is known for the Namehage. During my stay here, the staff, facilities and amenities are superb. I also like that they have a long time frame for experiencing both of their onsen that has panoramic view and outside onsen. I also like that performance of Oga locals and is very heartwarming to support rural towns. When it comes to food, you will definately get a proper keiseki meal. If you are any resctiction like vegetarian and vegan. Please let them know right away due to it takes time for them to prepare everything which usually last a day. Overall, our stay in this ryokan is truly stunning. If you have low tolerance to heat though, I am afraid it might need time to cool it because you can't open the windows. "

"I was satisfied with the good hot water and delicious food. The food was just as delicious as the entertainment. The seaweed in the miso soup in the morning was chewy and the simpler it was, the tastier it was. When I walked around the area, I could hear the sound of hot water gushing out. The lady at the local liquor store was also kind and funny. There was also a live Namahage performance, which I'm sure was only available on certain days of the week, and it was very immersive."

"The hospitality was excellent, and I'm so glad I stayed here! The rooms are clean and the breakfast is delicious."
