What guests think

Hotel Folkloro Kakunodate is praised for its unbeatable next-to-station location that remains quiet, friendly and helpful staff, and spacious, comfortable rooms—many enjoy train views—while breakfast and the on-site restaurant get consistently positive remarks.

A recurring drawback is the lack of an elevator, and several note the walk to the Samurai District takes around 15–20 minutes. Cleanliness is generally strong, though one guest reported dust and minor mold, and another mentioned luggage was stored too near heat. Expect a practical, comfortable base ideal for train travelers.

Comfortable two-night stay, very convenient as it's right across from the station and has its own restaurant. I spent several pleasant hours exploring the town's old houses and shops, and then was able to get a bookable community taxi (with the help of the helpful tourist information office located next to the station) very cheaply to go out and visit Dakigaeri Gorge which was beautiful even in the rain. My room was quite a good size , I could open the window, it all seemed fairly new and well kept.

駅前で利用しやすく、駐車場も確保しやすい。接客対応も非常によかった。欠点で言えば、カードキー対応だが、良かったとも言えるが、部屋に入りカードを挿して集中電源管理していないので、エアコンつけっぱなしで冷房も出来る事かな。暑い日中戻って来た時も部屋の温度は快適だった。

Right next to the JR station (you don't even have to cross the street). The tourist office is on the other side of the station. Very convenient location. About 15 minutes from the Samurai town. They have a restaurant in the hotel with a nice variety of local dishes. Comfortable bed (and 2 pillows! a rarity in Japanese hotels), nice and toasty warm (which is helpful when it's literally freezing outside).

Stayed for 1 night. Very convenient location right next to the train station. Very walkable to the Samurai district. The service was great. We arrived to the town very late after a full day of travel, and the receptionists were very helpful - they seemed to have been waiting for us as we might’ve been the very last guest to arrive for the night. Overall it was a good stay - did the job of providing a place to sleep for a day trip. The included breakfast was satisfactory - but glad we didn’t have to pay extra for it. This might be an older hotel as the room was dusty & there was some minor mold in the bathroom doorway that got missed with cleaning. I’d say it’s more expensive than what it’s worth, but hotels in the area seem to all cost a little more.

Kakunodate is more like a large village than a town, and there are few hotels. Folkloro is ideally situated next to the railway station, so a very short walk when carrying heavy suitcases was most welcome. The staff members were all lovely and very helpful. The rooms are reasonably large, have comfortable beds and a nice bathroom area, but a basic clothes rail and no cupboards. The breakfast was a small buffet with Japanese and European foods available, all very nice. It was an easy walk to the Samurai areas and the restaurants, and a shop was 100 metres away. The information centre was also next to the railway.

Right next to the JR station (you don't even have to cross the street). The tourist office is on the other side of the station. Very convenient location. About 15 minutes from the Samurai town. They have a restaurant in the hotel with a nice variety of local dishes. Comfortable bed (and 2 pillows! a rarity in Japanese hotels), nice and toasty warm (which is helpful when it's literally freezing outside).

Besonders gut gefallen hat mir, dass ich mich in Englisch verständigen konnte. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist international ausgerichtet.

This was the perfect location. Right next to the train station and in a nice quaint town with the samurai house street. The employees were extremely nice and attentive and the breakfast buffet was great.

Very close to train station -30 second walk. But also very quiet no train noise. This is a modern hotel that was a joy to stay in. I would definitely recommend and would stay again if ever in Kakunodate again. Check in is unmanned so you need your booking number and use the check in machine.

The train isn't loud; we liked being next to it. We liked the location as well. Staff was helpful.
