Onsen

Natural hot spring
(onsen)

Lodge Yodel has its own onsen with Mizusawa hot spring water flowing from halfway up Mt. Akita-Komagatake. Our guests can use it 24 hours a day. The water is mild and not too irritating, making repeat visits a pleasure.
The warm waters of the hot spring will ensure you have a good night’s sleep, even during the chilly nights of winter.

We have two baths, one big and one small. At most onsens, one bath is reserved exclusively for men and another exclusively for women. But in Lodge Yodel, when you use one of the available baths, you hang a sign (“Gentlemen” or “Ladies”) on the door of the onsen. When finished, the last person to get out returns the sign.
In addition, there is also a “Family” sign. This is for guests who want to use the onsen privately with men and women mixed. This system is well liked by couples and families with kids.

Meals

Homemade dishes with many homegrown vegetables will be served at dinner and breakfast.
In our meals, we always serve the most famous and popular brand of rice in Akita, Akitakomachi.
It’s grown by Yukiko’s son in the nearby city of Daisen, and our guests love it.
In addition, we have many kinds of Hideyoshi brand sake.
This brand is hardly sold in other areas of Japan, but its smooth flavor makes it a very popular brand amongst locals.
Sayaka, another host who loves sake, has chosen several kinds of Hideyoshi sake to recommend to guests.
