Located in the Samurai District of Kakunodate, known as "Little Kyoto of Michinoku," wanoi KAKUNODATE is a unique hotel converted from a kura (traditional storehouse) with over 100 years of history.

This hotel offers a nostalgic and luxurious experience with its three types of exclusive accommodations, each with its unique charm.
Nishinomiyake Bushigura:
Reflects the lifestyle of samurai, decorated with traditional samurai tools that guests can handle.
Nishinomiyake Gakkogura:
Originally a pickles storehouse (gakko means pickles in Akita dialect), it features pickle-making tools and items inspired by pickle barrels.
Tanmonogura:
Once a fabric storehouse, the room's decor includes elements reminiscent of a fabric shop, with unique features like a bed with a Japanese-style spool shade.

Each room provides a complete escape from daily life, transporting guests back in time with its meticulous attention to detail.

Breakfast is delivered to your room in a bento box style, featuring rice and miso from Akita Prefecture. For dinner, the staff will guide you to recommended nearby restaurants, allowing you to experience the local food culture. It's a delightful plan that offers a taste of the region's culinary heritage.
