Richmond Hotel Akita Ekimae
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating: 4.41 out of 5 (3,755 reviews). Guests are highly satisfied with the breakfast buffet and its local dishes, such as sukiyaki and Hinai-jidori chicken oyakodon (chicken and egg over rice), and they also praise the location within walking distance of Akita Station. Some families said they valued being able to book a triple-bed room that includes co-sleeping. One thing to keep in mind: the breakfast venue has few seats and gets crowded, so guests who arrive later may be kept waiting.
