Best around Tohoku Spot List

The private hot spring pension Moose is located in the central area of the Hachimantai Onsen Village, a hot spring resort adjacent to the Hachimantai section of Towada-Hachimantai National Park. The hot spring (Hachimantai Onsen Magma Bath), available from check-in until 8:00 AM the next morning, is a private-use facility suitable for families and friends. How about relaxing for a while with the sound delivered by the JBL large monitor speakers and vacuum tube amplifier installed in the lounge? Feel free to request playback of your favorite media after meals. The guest rooms are simple twin rooms that convey the warmth of wood, equipped with air conditioning (floor heating during winter), TV, and air purifiers in every room.

This is a lodging with only seven rooms, converted from a 108-year-old elementary school located in Akiyamago, a hidden natural paradise spanning Niigata and Nagano Prefectures. The cuisine, which creatively uses seasonal mountain delicacies like spring wild vegetables and autumn mushrooms as well as locally sourced ingredients, is very popular. The former gymnasium features a giant sugoroku board game, which is an artwork from the 'Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale' held in the region. Using the entire gymnasium, the enormous sugoroku game provides enjoyable content for both adults and children. The lodging serves Japanese-style creative cuisine abundantly incorporating mountain vegetables and other fresh produce. Care is taken to create dishes that balance flavor, presentation, and nutrition, allowing guests to savor the natural taste of the ingredients. The dining tables are adorned with seasonal wildflowers picked from the surrounding mountains, and heartfelt hospitality is offered to ensure guests enjoy their precious meals. An elementary school that has continued to watch over many children in the 'Hidden Region of Akiyama-go.' We hope you enjoy your stay while feeling the memories of such a school.
