Iwate Prefecture Historic Hotel

"Good: strong water pressure "

"The location was great with how close everything was. A bit of a far walk from the station I will say. Workers are so friendly definitely shout them out it was a perfect stay bed was good and the hot spring felt nice after all day walking. Will be book again next time"

"Wish they had some drawers to keep stuff. And I wish bathroom systems were white especially toilet. I would love to check my urine Color."

"Rooms cannot adjust air conditioning temperature. The rooms are operated by central system where indoor temperature is based on outdoor temperature. "

"Located right across from the train station, it is within walking distance to major sights and shopping."

"Clean, spacious room. Large bath, separate toilet. Best location: one block from Morioka Station, in the other direction are shopping and restaurants street, castle ruins, red brick building, park. Excellent breakfast buffet to start the day."

"The front desk ladies did not speak English at all. They said can only provide paper statement or electric copy. They can not provide both. This sounds ridiculous."

"Very comfortable room, very good breakfast. Parking a bit expensive, but location of hotel is great."

"A nice set-up for a ski-in/ski-out resort. My kids also had great lessons with an English instructor. Getting to Appi Kogen was also quite easy with the buses from Morioka Station. We were also bumped up to a larger room, which was very comfortable, especially by Japanese standards. That was also great. However….. The only drawback was the very limited food options, especially for dinner with young kids, who don’t eat very much anyway. We live in Japan, so we’re accustomed to Japanese portions, local izakayas, bentos, etc. But this was challenging. It was either spend 20,000¥-30,000¥ for a mediocre buffet, where the kids just wanted a few bites of the simplest food. Or a yakiniku restaurant that would’ve been 30,000¥ - 40,000¥ for a family of 4. High-end sushi spot that would’ve been even more pricey. (The room service menu is quite sad, and again would be close to 20,000¥) Or, you’re left with getting instant Nissin ramen cups at the convene, which is what we ended up doing the last night. (Breakfast, again, pay steep prices at the buffet, or wait till the bakery opens at the comically late hour of 10:00am, when you of course want to be on the slopes.) Anyway, I’d suggest packing some of your own bentos, or be prepared to pay. ¥¥¥¥¥¥"
