Richmond Hotel Akita Ekimae
Modern rooms seven minutes from the station and the museum
About this stay
Richmond Hotel Akita Ekimae sits a seven-minute walk from JR Akita Station, close enough for easy departures while landing just as close to the Akita Museum of Art, also a seven-minute walk away. Rooms are carpeted with a flat-screen TV, telephone and fridge, and guests can make tea with the provided electric kettle and tea bags, small touches that make the room feel a step above a bare business hotel. The bathroom includes a bath tub and free toiletries, and free luggage storage is available at the 24-hour front desk for same-day arrivals or late departures. Vending machines and laundry facilities are on site, practical for a longer trip, and Senshu Park and the Kubota Castle grounds are within a ten-minute walk, putting the city's central sights genuinely close at hand. The on-site restaurant Kagura serves a Japanese breakfast buffet along with other local specialities across lunch and dinner, and Akita Airport is a forty-minute drive for anyone arriving by air rather than Shinkansen.

Our take
Richmond Hotel Akita Ekimae splits the difference between convenience and comfort: close enough to JR Akita Station for an easy commute, close enough to Senshu Park and the art museum for sightseeing on foot, with carpeted, modern rooms that feel a step up from the more basic business chains nearby. I would book it for a work trip or a short city break alike.
- Walk the ten minutes to Senshu Park and Kubota Castle in the early morning before the day's sightseeing crowds arrive
- Try the Japanese breakfast buffet at Kagura rather than a station food court option, since local specialities are also served across lunch and dinner
- Use the free luggage storage at the front desk if you have a late checkout followed by a full day of sightseeing before your train
Why we love it
- Seven-minute walk to both the station and the Akita Museum of Art
- On-site restaurant Kagura with a Japanese breakfast buffet
- Ten-minute walk to Senshu Park and Kubota Castle
- Carpeted, modern-feeling rooms above typical business hotel standard
Why guests love itWe stayed here for a long weekend built around Senshu Park and the Akita Museum of Art, and the seven-minute walk to both made planning the days genuinely easy. Kagura's breakfast buffet was a highlight, with a good spread of local dishes rather than a generic hotel breakfast. The rooms felt more modern than the typical business hotel, and the whole stay felt comfortable without being overpriced.
