Like staying with family
This 7 room, family-run lodge is located in walking distance from Tazawako ski area. If traveling by public transportation, head for Tazawako station. Then there is a bus that drops you off within 3 minutes of their entrance at a cost of 560¥. The bus ride is a 30 minute trip from the station to the lodge. Cost of a taxi is @ 4000 yen.
The area is well known for onsen and the lodge has two onsen to use. They can be used by couples/families or by gender. You just need to put up a wooden sign when you use the facility.
The lodge has shared bathrooms. The facilities are basic,clean, and good value. If you are not a Japanese speaker, the owner speaks English well and is delightfully helpful and friendly. Signage is in Japanese and English. You won’t struggle with language here. Communication prior to our stay was in English and responses were timely.
The family makes a strong effort to make their guests feel at home. Arrange for meals at the lodge-breakfast and dinner-as there are no easily accessible food options in the immediate area if you travel without a car. Meals sourced local ingredients and the owner’s brother grows their rice.
Ask about their background in the area-skiing and snowboarding are in their blood.

Wonderful hospitality in a great location
We stayed as a family of 5 at Lodge Yodel for several days. Run with great warmth and hospitality by Sayaka and Yukiko, a mother and daughter team, Yodel offers ryokan-style accommodation and fantastic food for breakfast and dinner. Lots of locally-grown and wild-harvested food is prepared by the hosts who make sure every meal is tasty and interesting. Yodel is a comfortable and relaxed place for the whole family.
It also has a great drying room, well equipped with benches and work-space for setting up boards and skis. Sayaka's brother is a champion snowboarder (and rice farmer in summer) so he has made sure the place is well set up.
We stayed here while skiing and boarding at Tazawako, with the lifts only a short walk from Yodel. It's a great resort, nice variety of runs and not too busy. If you need to hire or buy gear, visit Mazak in his hire shop just down the hill from the main lifts. It's bright yellow so you can't miss it on the walk up from Yodel, and he's incredibly friendly and helpful (good prices too).
We are super keen to return for another visit to Tazawako if we can - would stay at Yodel for sure.

Thank you so much for your stay and review. We are very happy that you found our official web site and contacted us. We also had a great time with you and your family.
We'd like all our guests to try and enjoy Japanese style meals, so basically we serve the same home-made meals to Japanese guests and foreign guests. It would be appreciated if the guests would try them at least. So, we are really happy that you enjoyed our meals.
If you have another chance to come to Tazawako, you are always welcomed!!!
Hope the infection end as soon as possible and see you again in the near future.

Super relaxing stay in a very family like environment.
We took the bus (Nyuto line) from JR Tazawako Station (travelling with the JR Railpass by Akira Shinkansen) to Tazawaka-Obonai. Then we arrived 3 min. later walking up-hill the pretty family owend ryokan. Sayaka and her mother organized realy well our stay. We enjoyed very good english and outstanding self-grown food all the time. It was a pleasure to have such relaxing days at their home. The two inhouse onzen were marvelous and also realy nice enjoying a traditional hot japanese barth.

Thank you so much for your visit and comment.
We're very happy that your really enjoyed your stay here, our meals and onsen as well.
Your comment in German on our note "Guests' voice" was surprising. I don't still understand German, but I trust your word, "Don't worry. Only good things."!!!
If you have another chance to come to Japan, please visit us again. You two are always welcomed!!

秋田県水沢温泉郷で一人旅の宿泊を受け入れてくれる宿
２０１９年１１月に宿泊しました。
３泊４日の秋田旅行の１泊目の宿。
秋田空港でレンタカーを借り、田沢湖を目指して約２時間。
実際はもっと早く到着できるのでしょうが秋田の旅を満喫したくてのんびりと暗闇の田沢湖を見た後チェックイン。
宿は雪国の宿で外観はそれなりですが、宿に入ると若かりし頃新潟の赤倉でスキー教室の教師をされていた女将とバイカーの若女将「さやか」さんが元気よく迎えてくれました。
２０年ほど前にお隣の宿に宿泊して温泉が非常によかったので一人旅を受け入れてくれるこの宿にしたのですが、当日は平日で貸しきりでした。
スキーシーズンが始まる直前で静かな宿でした。
温泉はかすかに濁っていましたが２４時間浴槽にお湯が注がれ適温にされたお湯は本当に温まりましたね。
大小２つある浴場は表に「入浴中」の札をかければいつでも貸しきりできます。
夕食は山菜採りが趣味の女将が厳選したものが出てきましたし、鍋は秋田名物きりたんぽ。肉巻きの焼いたものの中身は秋田名物リンゴが入り、日本酒は若女将が厳選した地元の鈴木酒造店のお酒が数種類用意されていました。
食堂は薪ストーブが焚かれきりたんぽ鍋を食べると暑いくらいでした。
部屋は一人旅の人が泊まれるように６畳ほどの和室でした。寒い冬でも大丈夫なようにガス暖房が備えられ、液晶テレビもありました。トイレと洗面所は共同です。
スキーヤーが宿泊できるような４人が宿泊できる部屋もありました。
朝食は至って普通のものが出ましたが秋田らしく食用菊のおひたしが出てきてました。
温泉と日本酒（地酒）が好きなので泊まって後悔のない宿だと思います。

先日はお越しいただき、またクチコミを記載いただき、ありがとうございました。
食事、お酒、温泉等、それぞれお楽しみいただけたようで嬉しいです。
「家族入浴中」という札は、ご夫婦やご家族等、男女一緒にお入りになりたい場合にお使いいただける貸切用の札です。温泉宿に出掛けてもお風呂は別々ということが多いと思うので、お客様には大変好評をいただいております。
私自身が日本酒が好きで、どれも美味しいと思えるものを揃えてご提供しているので、喜んでいただけると本当に嬉しいです。
また機会がございましたら、ぜひお越しくださいませ。
