Avoid. This property is not worth $100
Zero amenities. No toiletries in the room bathroom, zero amenities like comb, shower cap in the onsen. They even cover up the outdoor onsen without reason. Meals portion was small. Room dated.
Everything. This is the worse accommodation I’ve stayed throughout the Tohuku trip. For the price, budget hotel like Dormy Inn is way better.

Ryokan experience right next to Tazawako.
Really nice ryokan right next to Tazawako. Onsen water quality was excellent.
No complaints - I would recommend to rent a car if you want to explore the area.

Fabulous
Beautiful room and exceptional staff. As previous reviews have mentioned the dinner was absolutely superb as was the breakfast. Our host for our meals was exceptional. Such a treat to be staying here. Loved the separate and private dining area.

Kashintei Shirahama delivered one of the most memorable nights of our entire trip; truly special
Kashintei Shirahama delivered one of the most memorable nights of our entire trip; a truly special family experience that we will talk about for years to come.
The setting alone is breathtaking. Nestled alongside the stunning Lake Tazawa, the natural beauty surrounding the ryokan sets the stage for something truly unique from the moment you arrive.
But it is the staff that make this place exceptional. From the very first step through the door, we were welcomed with a warmth and grace that instantly made us feel at home. The check-in process was thoughtful and unhurried; perfectly curated and a wonderful first impression of what was to come.
Our room was generously spacious, beautifully appointed with traditional tatami floors, and full of authentic character. It struck the perfect balance between elegance and comfort.
The onsen experience was flawless. Both the private family onsen and the shared baths were immaculate, serene, and deeply relaxing; an absolute highlight for the whole family.
And then there was the food. A stunning procession of perfectly curated local dishes that turned dinner into an experience of its own. The staff guided us through each dish with care and enthusiasm, recommending drinks along the way. The plum wine selection deserves a special mention; outstanding and a wonderful complement to the meal. We ate wonderfully and far too much!
For the quality, the experience, and the memories created, the value is truly exceptional. If you are considering a ryokan stay in Japan, look no further. Kashintei Shirahama is not just a place to sleep; it is an experience not to be missed. Wholeheartedly recommended!
Sehr schönes Ryokan gleich am Lake Tazawa, ideal um mal etwas abzuschalten. Das Gemeinschaftsbad hat einen Innen- und Aussenbereich und ist sehr schön. Das Personal war sehr nett und zuvorkommend, auch wenn man nicht Japanisch spricht. Das Essen war reichhaltig, schön angerichtet und schmeckte sehr gut, es wurde auch jede einzelne der Speisen dem Gast vorgestellt. Ich hatte das grosse Zimmer mit Seeblick gebucht. Dieses war sehr schön eingerichtet und man hatte viel Platz.
Morgens stellte ich fest, dass es in der Dusche keine Seife gab. Hätte ich aber auch am Vorabend kontrollieren und dann der Rezeption melden können.

Wir sind mit dem Shinkansen aus Akita angereist und das letzte Stück mit dem Taxi gefahren.
Der Ryokan liegt direkt am Tazawa See. Wir wurden sehr freundlich von der Familie begrüßt und auch gleich herumgeführt. Unser Zimmer war top, mit eigenem Essbereich. Auch hier alles da was man braucht. Der Yukata hat uns besonders gefallen. Sehr praktisch für den Onsen und zum Schlafen. Der Onsen war so was von schön und wunderbar erholsam. Besonders der Aussenbereich. Ich war jedesmal alleine da.
Wir hatten Frühstück und Abendessen. Was soll ich sagen, das beste Essen der ganzen Reise. Mit so viel Liebe gemacht und so nett und freundlich alles erklärt. Das zaubert mir gleich wieder ein Lächeln ins Gesicht.
