Hi,
We're planning to go to Akita for the Kanto Matsuri during August, but right now we are already having difficult time looking for place to stay there, particularly that Saturday (aug 6).
I am only familiar with Toyoko Inn chain of hotels, and the one in Akita is already booked out. Do you have other recommendations, preferably near Akita train station? Preferably knows a little English, but this is not a necessity :)
Thank you!

It's a little late to book rooms in central Akita City for the Kanto Matsuri which tend to book out very quickly once reservations open. You do have a few options however. Try looking for hotels outside the city city but nearby enough that you could take the train or taxi to the festival. Or consider a tour package which will be more expensive but may still have openings.
If you don't mind the risk you can always stalk the Toyoko Inn reservation website and try to snatch up a cancellation. I've done that successfully before for other locations, but its a long shot. Or check the hotel websites again just before the festival starts, which is when the travel agents release back to the hotels the rooms that they were unable to sell. Often times you find rooms opening up just a few days before popular events/festivals due to this phenomenon.
