Reviews of 天空の宿 ロッジカウベル Lodge Cowbell

We had such a wonderful stay! The room was very comfortable, the starry sky was breathtaking, and the host was incredibly kind and welcoming. We truly loved the peaceful environment here.

The place is perfect even it is slightly away from the city and main tourist areas. We really enjoy it. Also free soft drink, beer, and wine. If we come this area again, no doubt we will stay at here.

An amazing stay tucked away in the mountains. The staff, with special mention to Takanao-san, were exceptional and made our stay all the more special to celebrate our engagement. We were not expecting the breath taking views, stunning sunrise and amazing common area with a ping-pong table and bar. We wished we stayed longer than one night and would highly recommend people to stay for at least 2-3 nights to truely experience everything Lodge Cowbell and Takko have to offer. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Japan.

That we didn't stay longer than one night.

What a great find! Wonderful location, and spacious room with nice bathroom! The kitchen is great, and the staff is really friendly and helpful. I really want to come back!

beautiful, spacious, clean

It's a spacious and clean place! Really looks like a resort but its more DIY here. Could see this as a great place to hang out with friends. You get to see the stars at night (super cold but pretty!) They have some boardgames and extra blankets as well. There's a full kitchen for you to use and sometimes free beer till 10pm for guests. Overall a quiet place (there were only 2 other groups of guests when we were there). Just the limited food options there (they have some canned/premixed food and rice!) and the inconvenience of going down to the town just for groceries.

Please remember to get food before stopping by! It's a 30 minute drive minimally to get to a supermarket. There are some instant food available to be purchased on site but its on a pricey side. There is also a charge of 1000 yen if you extend your stay by 1 hour (be it checking out or using their facilities)

We were stunned by the size and the facilities the lodge provided. We came after dusk, the road were completely dark, curvy, and looking intimidating for tourists. However, once we've finally reached, the lodge went above and beyond our expectations as the size of the accommodation was massive and so well-equipped with facilities. The staff, especially the GM - Mr. Takka was so helpful, kind, and friendly. We were comfort by his hospitality and his professionalism. We were introduced to do eco-tourism within Takko area and we were happy with everything he recommended. The size of the room was massive and technically could accommodate 4 people. A great view indeed, overlooking Takko's mountain view. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunrise as it was overcast. Just one thing, you need to be aware as the drawback.... up there...

If you're prepared that this is a bit distant from lake Towada, there's nothing to be concerned about.

We stayed in the triple room with balcony. Full commercial kitchen available for all guests to use including stove tops, table top oven, rice cooker, kettle etc. Spacious en-suite Japanese style bath/shower room was clean with modern facilities.

Rooms were very clean, but a little tight (it doesn’t have a living room area) with 3 beds in it. Fine for sleeping but not for much else.

The view from the room is fabulous

Bit expensive considering the location

It was clean and spacious. The staff were very helpful and came to meet us when we got lost in the dark, trying to find the lodge.

No breakfast provided. The kitchen was a little awkward to get around.

Fantastic view. Spacious room with very high ceiling. Shared kitchen with full facilities and the huge dining room. Staff are very friendly.

Location is excellent if you want to wake up to a scenic view of the sun rise over the surrounding hills with mist and cloud. Rooms are spacious and kitchen is well equipped to cook.

Big rooms, very clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Amazing views of the mountains sounding lake towada. Very peaceful.

Be prepared that the location is FAR from towada lake shore! It is a very stip and curved road up the mountain, about 45 minutes hard drive. If you are prepared for that, you get an amazing location. No food possibilities at all (breakfast, dinner). You can cook by yourself in an shared kitchen.

This place is well equipped to bring your own food and prepare it in the communal (commercial) kitchen. It’s a way to save money and become friends with other guests.
