| A Quiet, Refined Hotel with Dignity | |
|---|---|
| The Akinomiya area was officially recognized as a health resort by the Akita clan in the Edo period (1603-1868). The vast Japanese garden of Inazumi Hot Spring was made with devotion by the former landlord, known as a man of refined tastes. The front and back yards are beautified by flowers and trees, and 11 ponds are arranged among them. The guests greatly enjoy the water lilies and the wild azalea seasons. | |
