Lounge Kuromori was the best place to relax when waiting for one of Tazawako's storms to subside. The lounge has a no shoes policy, so you have to take your boots off and there are hangers and cubicles for you to store your gear. They serve European food and local craft beer. Spacious and empty compared to the restaurant next door.

Local resorts have the best food. This is my yokote yakisoba from the Shirakaba restaurant. It's an Akita style yakisoba where the noodles are topped with a fried egg and Fukujinzuke pickled vegetables. Break the egg yolk and let it mix with the noodles.
