Hotels near Tazawako Station, Senboku

Close to tazawako ski (20 minute walk), lovely onsen on site, spacious home with an amazing view, and to top it off the sweetest hosts!

I had 3D2N stay and I felt it wasn’t enough! I slept in 2nd floor standard twin room. The view is so good! You wake up and see the sunshine on the mountain and slept with stars (plus glowing in the dark stickers on wallpaper). The bed and pillow is very nice to sleep on. It supports back and neck well enough with adequate softness. However, you must remember to shut the window properly to avoid cold wind in the room. I didn’t get to use any heater so just put on double blanket. Reasonably priced dinner is a must have! It’s a bit salty but fine. You’ll get to eat like what locals eat at home. The view from the dining area is amazing as well. The breakfast is ordinary and nice. The family’s hospitality is heartwarming. The toddler son is so sweet and the dog is cute. I was surprised that it has own private onsen which accomodate 1 person at a time. If you’re a family / couple, can use the bigger one. Shower + onsen from 6am - 10pm daily. I used it morning, evening and night time, so value-worthy that you don’t have to tour the other 7 well-known onsen if you don’t want to pay extra for onsen. The location is strategic as it’s 30mins by bus to and fro Tawazako Station to the nearest stop Kyuyo Centre (500 Yen/Trip). If you plan to visit the Tawaza Lake in daytime, it’s approx 20mins by bus (370Yen/Trip). There’s a park just around the corner to have a nice walk if you just want to hangout around the house.

The staff was very friendly.

The owner gave us a lift from and to the train station, which was very helpful

The scenery advertised on Booking.com especially the private onsen, the lobby faced lake view, looked cozy in the ads, every room has lake view….but..
