"The hospitality of Nori-san, Chie, and their family made our stay so enjoyable. They went out of their way to ensure our comfort and shared wonderful details about their beautiful, nutritious, farm-to-table meals.

"Beautiful inn and a beautiful location. Wonderful hospitality and the food was outstanding. Very special experience to stay here and enjoy the hot springs and comfortable room."
"Super nice getaway. There is not much around but this hotel is pretty much an all inclusive. They feed you breakfast and dinner buffet with late night snack as well. The food was great and overall was highly impressed with the value. Be careful planning your transportation too and from though as it is very limited. "
"A perfect stay! A typical Japanese room with futon, super nice experience at the bath, nice breakfast and very friendly people at the reception. There is also shuttle bus service to and from Kakunodate. Need to be reserved in advance. Maybe a good idea from Kakunodate becuase there are not so many trains to "

Hotel Shion
10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel, excellent staff, great dinner and breakfast. I love the onsen experience. We stayed multiple nights so we can try all the baths. There is a walking path along the lake. We took the hotel shuttle bus to Morioka to explore and took the local bus back. Very convenient and easy to navigate. "

"Shikitei is a favourite of mine. Traditional service and ryokan experience. Everyone makes sure your stay is always excellent and once again I thank everyone at Shikitei for yet another wonderful stay"

"Quite a nice stay at Guesthouse Fuga. The lady owner is lovely and the included breakfast was good too. Twin room with air con quite spacious and there is a desk and chair, a couple of coathangers. Just me but if you had 2 people sharing- 1 person gets a bed, the other person gets a fold out bed. I slept fine and area very quiet.
A parking spot at the front door is excellent. All rooms are upstairs so you need to be able to walk up about 15 stairs. 1 toilet and 1 washbasin upstairs but I didn't have to wait.
The reason I gave it 4 stars is the shower has to be accessed by going outside the front door into a shed. Ok in mild weather as now but would not good in the winter. Towels have to be hired for 200y as at hostels. As always if you get a noisy person, they can be heard in other rooms so I had to ask a lady to be quiet at 630am.
Easy walk to samurai street and restaurants. Take a torch if you go out at night as street lighting not very good."
