Kashintei Shirahama

予約してからの対応がとても良かったです。 お食事も量もベストで全て、目でも楽しめてとても美味しかったです。 次の日の朝食の時間も早くしてくれてとても助かりました。スタッフの対応もとても良かったです。 お湯も良かったです。家族風呂も広くてゆっくり入れました。秋田の旅はとても素敵な思い出になりました。

The food was one of the best. We stayed two nights. It would have been better, if we could choose to stay without meal, because we found 2 meals a day was too much.

A super wonderful Ryokan experience with their impressive Kaiseki where you can have it in your room if you book the corner room with Lake view(I believe all lake view rooms are the same?) Other rooms also have their own dining area right out of the their room which also have nice window view where you can also see some part of the lake view. Perhaps the most debated topic should be the private bath and its admission as it is totally up to the guests to control its use. I was lucky to secure it for my parents but during peak season, its use could become tricky. There must have beeb good reason why they have maintained this system, but could improve with a bit of tweak I suppose. The private bath itself is wonderful even comes with a small Tadami room and all that you need. I also stayed a fancy, modern centric Ryokan in the same trip with higher price, and I have to say this Ryokan is definitely better at least to me. The room and its things were also great as they were apparently renewed or renovated recently, no sign of old and pale stuffs in the room. Strongly recommend this place and make sure you book breakfast and dinner in the package unless you have good plan for them. 5 out of 5.
