10/10 Excellent
"Brand new property, Japanese style accommodation, with mattresses on the floor and walking without shoes inside the premises...free onsite parking, superb helpful and welcoming staff, free Odon noodle session, very good amenities, very fast internet, good sized room to Japanese standard, sumptuous breakfast, enough varieties for Vegans and Vegetarians. A bit limited compared with meat/fish and egg dishes, but enough to fill up. Value for money hotel, with lifetime Japanese living experience. The Breakfast Buffet food is labelled in English and Japanese, thus no need for enquiry from staff about content and ingredients."

"It’s located close to the station, plenty of restaurants and small shops around. There is a supermarket, convenience store and laundry close by. The staff is friendly and helped us to send out bags to the next hotel, lend us plates etc for our takeaway. A really great value for money hotel in this town! We stayed here and went on a daytrip (easy by train) to Kakunodate (Samurai Village)."

10/10 Excellent
"The drive to the place had road closure at specific timing so if you are planning to go, my suggestion is pre-plan ahead because I was supposed to make it before the road closure time but my car was in a ditch on the way in. The hotel is deep in the mountains with no reception at all. I believe the people there carry satellite phones to maintain contact as it was impossible for me to even receive any signal, even in the hotel. Honestly, because of this, I am thankful that I do not have any internet connection that will disturb my holiday. I have recharged myself after months of work fatigue in just 1 night stay. As I had booked the room in summer time, I do need to highlight that the onsen in the room is prone to insects, they will crowd around the light and you'll see them floating in your onsen so if you want to soak in your own onsen, you have to remove the flies yourself, which is what I did. As for the dinner and breakfast, I enjoyed it very much. I never had such dining experience before and I would recommend to visit and stay over in pairs or groups. I was there as a solo tripper so I got a peaceful and enjoyable time but I could definitely enjoy it more with another companion next time."

"We had a pleasant stay at Omagari Empire Hotel. The hotel may be slightly old-fashioned, but it was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location was convenient, just a short distance from Omagari Station, with supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, which made our stay very convenient. The staff were polite, warm, and helpful throughout our stay. We especially appreciated the good service and hospitality. The room had all the basic amenities we needed, and the free parking was a bonus for those driving. Overall, it offers good value for money and a comfortable stay for both business and leisure travellers visiting Daisen. "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Samurai District?
The best area to stay in Samurai District is the historic Kakunodate town centre, particularly around the Samurai Residence Street (Buke-yashiki-dori).This area is the heart of the district, renowned for its beautifully preserved samurai houses and cherry blossom trees. It's a compact and very walkable area, allowing you to easily explore the historic residences, museums, and local craft shops. The main street, Buke-yashiki-dori, is lined with traditional walls and gates, giving you a true sense of stepping back in time.Couples looking for a romantic and culturally rich getaway will find staying within Kakunodate's historic core to be ideal. You'll be within easy reach of the Aoyagi House and Ishiguro House, two of the most famous samurai residences, and can enjoy leisurely strolls through the charming streets, especially during the cherry blossom season or autumn foliage. Many traditional inns are located within this area, offering a truly authentic experience.Solo travellers seeking a peaceful and enriching historical experience will also appreciate the convenience of staying in central Kakunodate. You can take your time exploring the individual samurai homes, visiting the local craft stores, and enjoying the local cuisine at your own pace without needing to travel far.
When is the best time to go to Samurai District?
The best time to visit the Samurai District of Akita Prefecture is during the spring (late April to early May) for the cherry blossoms or in the autumn (late October to early November) for the vibrant autumn leaves.Spring transforms the district with thousands of cherry trees, particularly along the Hinokinai River embankment, creating a stunning tunnel of blossoms. This period is ideal for couples and families who enjoy scenic strolls and photography, as the historic samurai residences are framed beautifully by the pink and white flowers. The weather is generally mild and pleasant for exploring on foot.Autumn offers a different kind of beauty, with the maple and ginkgo trees turning brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold. This season is great for travellers who appreciate natural beauty and a slightly cooler climate for outdoor activities.
