That Sounds Good

Top choice in Northern Honshū (Tōhoku)


Room options here range from quaint cottages with private bathrooms to split-level dwellings where you're just within snoring distance of your fellow nature lovers. Activity revolves around an open cafe-bar where meals are served and from where the sounds of weekend jazz billow out over the lake. One of the more cosmopolitan places to stay in this part of Japan.

Pick-ups from the train station are available. Drop in, tune out and relax…why not stay a few days?
