The staff and the service staff as really nice. the bed could have been bigger and pillows could have been more softer. It’s located in a very convenient location, very close to JR station

The location is quite close to the station, and most importantly, it's relatively new. There aren't many new hotels in Akita, so I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit! However, the parking tower was a bit inconvenient. The two cars in front of us were too large to fit, so we waited for quite a while. We eventually decided to park in the TIMES parking lot next to the hotel. Although it was more expensive, it's a flat parking lot, which makes it easy to get things out of the car whenever needed. The only downside is that it might be inconvenient to unload luggage if it's raining. Overall, though, it was good!

Hotel Location: The hotel is near Akita city center but a bit far from Akita Station. There are no large shopping malls or supermarkets nearby, but directly across from the hotel, there's a street full of izakayas and local eateries. The hotel has a very small multi-story parking garage, but it often requires a long wait. We ultimately chose to find flat parking nearby (definitely avoid the multi-story parking garage behind the hotel building; it's a rip-off. Try to find flat parking if possible). Also, a reminder not to check in too late, as parking in the area fills up quickly. Cleanliness: Overall clean and tidy, though the rooms are a bit small. Transportation Convenience: There's a bus stop in front of the hotel. If you're driving, you can use the bus bay to drop off luggage. Service: Overall good. The staff speak fluent English. Although the floor facilities are clearly marked in the elevator, their actual locations can be a bit hard to find, so you might need to look around a bit.

We had such a wonderful experience on our Mt Fuji and surrounding areas tour. Our guide Sherry was absolutely fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, patient and very helpful throughout the entire day. He made the trip feel relaxed and enjoyable while also making sure we saw some beautiful locations and had plenty of time to take photos and enjoy the scenery. His local knowledge really added to the experience, and everything was well organised from start to finish. Mt Fuji and the surrounding areas were stunning, but having such a great guide made the day even more memorable. We really appreciated the kindness, professionalism and effort put into making sure we had a great time. Highly recommend this tour and our guide Sherry to anyone visiting Japan. Thank you for such a beautiful and unforgettable day

The "Free Hong Kong Mail" for the voucher was delivered by SF Express. I placed the order today (Monday) and received it the next day (Tuesday), which is extremely efficient. The last time I visited Hokkaido via Sapporo Airport, I deliberately skipped Hakodate because taking the Hokkaido Shinkansen from Shin-Aomori Station to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station, then transferring to the JR Hakodate Main Line to Hakodate Station, only takes about 1.5 hours. This is much more convenient than the over 3.5-hour journey from Sapporo to Hakodate. For a relaxed trip for middle-aged travelers, the route Sendai - Aomori - Hakodate - Hachinohe - Sendai, using a JR Pass to reserve seats for free at the designated seat ticket machines, allows you to enjoy leisurely times and various delicious foods. It's very cost-effective and worthwhile.

What to know before visiting Akita

What to do in Akita throughout the year

Akita is best known for Tours, which dominate visitor bookings and shape the rhythm of the year. Klook booking data show a clear high season in May when demand peaks, so outdoor excursions and guided day trips are busiest then. Spring and early summer months also see above-average interest, while late autumn and winter quieten considerably. Use this pattern to decide whether you want lively, well-serviced tour options or a calmer visit with more space on excursions — choose peak-season energy or low-season tranquillity. All figures are from Klook booking data.

When to visit Akita: month-by-month guide

Demand in Akita concentrates in late spring: Klook booking data show May as the single busiest month with roughly 53% higher demand versus a typical month; December is the quietest with about 45% lower demand. Prices move across the year too: bookings were typically pricier in July and August, while February shows the lowest median price. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for February or October–November; for festival atmosphere and the fullest tour options, visit in May or the summer months.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Busier than usual MYR 284
February About average MYR 227
March Quieter than usual MYR 300
April Busier than usual MYR 499
May Peak demand MYR 401
June Busier than usual MYR 276
July Busier than usual MYR 499
August Busier than usual MYR 491
September Quieter than usual MYR 491
October Very quiet MYR 251
November Quieter than usual MYR 304
December Very quiet MYR 418

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers lock things in well ahead: Klook booking data show bookings are typically made around 60 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking about 80 days out. That means planning is useful, especially for travel in May and the busy summer months when tours fill faster. For more flexibility, you can still find options closer to travel — many experiences allow late booking up to about 8 days out — but in peak months earlier booking pays. Book on Klook to compare tour schedules and secure preferred dates without fuss.
