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 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.

recommend a seven day pass used it a lot in Kyoto for Thee Shinnkeen trains there and back to Kyoto.Locaotrainsand bus and a boat ride
seat reservation process: Bery good and easy to use
pass area coverage:
Great coverage can use in Tokyo and Kyoto and outer areas
price:Pricing great if you make the most of Troon public transport.So just check if it would be worth it for your individual trips

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.

General info
What to know before visiting Akita
What to do in Akita year-round
Akita's bookings on Klook are led by Tours, so exploring local sights and guided day trips shapes most visitors' plans across the year. The demand rhythm shows spring and summer activity: May is the strongest month while October is the quietest, so seasonal festivals and outdoor experiences cluster around late spring and mid-summer. Use that rhythm to decide whether you want lively events and fuller tour schedules or a calmer, off-peak pace. Decide whether you prefer festival energy or a quieter visit. All figures here are based on Klook booking data.
Best months to visit Akita
Peak visitor activity on Klook is concentrated in May, with busier spread through April, June, July and September; October shows the lightest demand. Prices across the last 12 months peak in August and hit a low in February, so crowds and prices sometimes diverge — summer can be both busy and pricey, while late winter is quiet and much cheaper. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider February or other very quiet months; for peak-season atmosphere aim for May through July. *

Tips for travelers from the United States
Most travellers book well ahead here: bookings on Klook typically happen around 60 days ahead, and the earliest planners book about 80 days out, so treat Akita as a trip to plan rather than improvise. During the peak months (notably May through July) locking in tours earlier is especially sensible. Klook's variety of guided tours fits both flexible and planned trips, so pick dates that suit your schedule and secure spots early for festival-season activities. These recommendations are based on Klook booking data.
