Iwate Prefecture Spa Hotel

"The room was on the small side, but the amenities were great. The best of course was the onsen on the top floor. Very relaxing, with free ice cream in the evening and free probiotic drink in the morning. They also had free drinks (soda) in the afternoon in the restaurant, and a free half bowl of Ramen from 9:30 in the evening. This is a little bit of a walk from the station, but definitely top of my list when I go back. "

"We were the only foreigners here, which was fun. The staff were incredibly kind and patient with us, even after we missed our dinner reservation. The dinner and breakfast we did have here was AMAZING.

"Beautiful and serene location with a great buffet. Tattoos kept me out of the onsen, so I can't speak to that. Nice little hikes around the hotel."

"buffet breakfast was excellent, the onsen was relaxing after long day of snowboarding, staff was excellent. enjoyed my stay here in the big room :)"

"Easy access from the train with adjacent parking available if you have a car. Friendly, helpful staff."

"Superior double room is spacious by Japanese standards. Comfortable & clean. Simple no frills hotel. Hotel is not near station. Taxi to & from morioka station is affordable, between ¥600 - ¥800 one way. Breakfast is surprisingly good. Especially their French toast & thick yogurt drink. Must try! There’s a restaurant opposite on the right that sells Nattosoba & gyoza. Highly recommend checking it out too. "
