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

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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 .

    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.

    It is very unfriendly for non- Japanese tourist. Even the name of the hotel is in Japanese only, you can not see it from far a way, have to come to the front door to read the English version, staff barely speaks English, but very polite.

    Breakfast was ok. Far from the city center, but there is a bus station near by.
