Beautiful and unique ryokan. If you are looking for the a typical ryokan this may not be the place for you, but it’s ramshackle charm is gorgeous and the town it sits in is very beautiful. One issue would be the room we booked was shown in the images to have a balcony, however not all in this category have this feature. That slight disappointment aside, the food is delicious, the family very friendly and the onsen being private and salt water is the most unique I’ve seen in Japan. A great experience indeed!

Highlight of my 3 weeks in Japan. Absolutely Love this place. The family is so friendly and wonderful, the food is oishii. Gorgeous gardens and hot tubs. 2 thumbs up.
This not your ordinary ryokan, this is not you ordinary onsen. Shohoen and its staff will be your family in Daisen. We spent five nights here in autumn. It was as if we visited far away grandparents living in a wealthy large old country mansion. As if they had told their staff to pamper us, as grandchildren deserve. Preparing the best extensive oldfashioned kaiseki meals, with traditional produce from the region: cooked 'kiku', chrysanthemum flowers, crab from Onomo river that borders the property, crab miso, all kinds of fish, etc etc. During our travels through Japan we have enjoyed many kaiseki meals, in expensive ryokan, but this was the summit. The grandparents of course would have told their driver to drive us to a station and to shops to buy things we would need. That's what Hiromi, the owner's wife and master chef, did with us. Far more care and attention than this they gave us: called a carpenter if he had some timber for my wood carving, found an excellent bakery in Kabocha, washed my trousers when I had fallen. This is the first hotel where not having our private ensuite bathroom was an advantage. For we could use the fantastic hinoki clad onsen room all day, every day. The scent in this hinoki onsen is delicious, a mixture of hinoki scent and sweet iron. No sulphur, no chloride. What a great experience. At first we wanted to visit Akita city and other onsen in the region, but we stayed here and walked amidst the autumn colors, watching the swans and the river and enjoying the silence of a countryside river around this beautiful, haevenly country mansion that is Shohoen. Perfect service and TLC. And much less expensive than other ryokan. Experience of a lifetime, in two days we have to go back to Kyoto, and Shohoen will stay a dream come true.
I stayed at the ryokan and had the wonderful dinner here. It is a 98 years old house with beautiful onsens. The food was delicious and the ryokan is lovely. Will bring friends here next time!
とても情緒ある旅館です。 受付時に、2種類ある貸切露天風呂をどちらか予約することができます。冬の寒さの中で入る露天風呂は最高に気持ちが良かったです。お湯は硫黄の臭いが漂うまさに温泉らしい温泉で、熱いのに湯から上がりがたく、つい引き返してしまう魔性の魅力がありました。ちなみに露天風呂では身体を洗えないので、先に身体を洗いたい方は、内湯を済ませておくといいかもしれません。内湯は中にドライヤーが1台あって、チェックアウトまで24時間入れます。 食事は地元のものが沢山使われており、私が訪れた時はあきたこまちをはじめ、鯉の甘露煮や強首白菜、お庭で取れた栗などがありました。特に朝食のお豆腐と醤油が美味しかったです。 記憶が朧げですが大正期に建てられたそうで、古い階段や玄関は段差のキツい場所がありますが、新しく階段を設けたり、お手洗いの段差を減らしたりと工夫されていました。私の部屋はやや弱かったですが、Wi-Fiもあったのがありがたかったです。またぜひ訪れたいと思います。
日帰り11時から18時まで、650円。鉄分の濁り、臭いが強く温泉らしくて好き。含ヨウ素-ナトリウム-塩化物強塩泉。内湯のみ。さびれた古民家のようだが、内装は趣がある。ロッカーはないので必要ならフロントへ。平日は空いていた。
出張で秋田市内に仕事に来てて、休みだったので強首温泉に行ってきました。まず、建物に驚き思わず写真を撮ってしまいました。築105年と女将さんが、言ってました、秋田の有形文化財に指定されてるということで凄かったですね〜温泉もナトリウム泉で少し緑ががった感じでいいお湯でした。雪も凄かったですが満足満足️今回は、日帰り入浴でしたが、今度は泊まって見たいです
案内どおりに行くと裏通りで、到着の表示、そのまま道なりに進み、左折してしばらく行くと到着！ お湯は、ぬるま湯で入りやすく、繰り返し浸かるとよく温まります。 敷地内の建物が明治大正かと思わせる様相と雰囲気。 敷居をまたぐとタイムトリップ、宿泊したら日常から逸脱できそうな宿泊エリア、説明しきれないたたずまいは一見の価値あり。
