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.

Location was unbeatable. 30 sec from the station. Even though it was right next to the station, we didn't hear the train noise at all. Enjoyed watching trains coming and going.

A pleasant, friendly, inexpensive hotel

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.

Nice stay.

Just next to the station. Free parking. Staff helping in moving our bagages to the room as there is no elevator. Simple breakfast. Clean and tidy.

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.

酒店整潔乾淨，房間大小適中，因酒店並無升降機設施，但職員會主動幫手搬行李上房，甚為窩心。酒店近角館火車站，出入方便，房間隔音非常好，並無聽到火車聲。另酒店提供早餐，味道可口，若能增加多些選擇，則更佳。

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.

Nice, convenient, comfy

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).
