10 km from Akita Station in Akita, みんなの実家門脇家 features accommodation with access to a hot tub. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. I arrived to a guesthouse, but left as family. My stay was not only very comfortable and pleasant, I also felt a lot of genuine warmth from the owners, taking care of me every step of the way. The house is beautiful, with Japanese artwork and spirit throughout. I'd suggest staying for a few days to be able to get to know the owners, their friends and also other guests - it'll be worth it. I'll definitely be back.

Offering a garden and inner courtyard view, Guest House Chara is located in Hirosaki, 34 km from Sannai-Maruyama site and 3.5 km from Hirosaki Castle. This guest house provides free private parking, free shuttle service and free WiFi. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service. We spent three wonderful days in Hirosaki, a charming and authentic town that still feels untouched by mass tourism. It was refreshing to explore a place where the pace is slower and the culture feels so genuine. The absolute highlight of our stay was Guest House Chara, run by the kindest elderly couple, Fusao and Toshiko. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel completely at home—it wasn’t just a place to sleep, it truly felt like staying with family. Their house told a story, filled with warmth, history, and the little personal touches that made it feel lived-in and loved. From the amazing homemade breakfast to the delicious ramen dinners they prepared, every meal was made with care and love. The guest house is conveniently located, just a short walk from a supermarket and a laundromat, which made things really easy for us. This personal, welcoming experience truly made our trip special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a meaningful, off-the-beaten-path experience in Japan. ありがとうございます
