If you're looking for Hanayuuka, its old web address now lands on The Forest Akan Tsuruga Resort, so book it under the new name. The building is warm with timber inside, and big windows in the rooms look out over Lake Akan through the seasons.
The onsen is free-flowing and easy on the skin, and a barrel sauna sits alongside it. The kitchen leans toward simple, home-style cooking. From October 2026 to March 2027 the Tsuruga group runs a paid shuttle bus called the Akanko Express to the lake.
