Search hotels in Iwate, Japan

Room was larger than expected, with a great view of Mount Iwate when the clouds allowed, with a bright bathroom and powerful shower. Check-in is at 14.00, an hour or two earlier than at most hotels in Japan, and the location is unbeatable: the hotel is attached to the train station and next to local buses. It's also connected to a shopping centre, with a bakery that opens fast 07.00, meaning you can nip down and bring a breakfast back up to the comfort of your room. Staff speak English and are professional and pleasant.

The location was amazing as it was very close to the station. Furthermore, you can see the amazing view of Mt. Iwate from just outside the hotel. Although the rooms were a bit small, they were pretty clean and comfortable. The support from the staff during check-in and check-out was very good too.

Beautiful quiet location by the lake easy to get to from Morioka. Very clean well maintained facilities including several beautiful onsens. The staff was kind and accommodating despite my very limited Japanese language understanding. I loved the view of the lake and Mount Iwate from my room.

I always stay with family in Iwate, and this was the first time I stayed at a hotel. It was clean, breakfast included great options and was very helpful to have! There is a combini across the street, staff were friendly and helpful, plus the baths on the ground floor were great.

The hotel is very well situated at one end of the restaurant strip in Morioka. The west facing rooms have beautiful views of the snow covered mountains in winter. It is a one hour’s drive, or less, to at least five of Iwate prefecture’s ski resorts.

The hotel was close to the rock-splitting cherry tree and Iwate Park. Breakfast was delicious and decent in terms of Muslim-friendliness - the grilled mackerel was delicious (assuming it didn't contain mirin). Check out was quite fast.

Most friendly and helpful staff. Always with a smile. Hotel is really close to Iwate Park which was perfect for our visiting during cherry blossom. Go visit Chillin Music Bar for an evening when around. Great experience

The check-in staff fulfilled my request for a room facing Mt Iwate.

Great facilities, amazing food, and the most helpful staff, and a stunning view of the mountains.

The amenities are great, the staff friendly, polite, and extremely accommodating. The food is outstanding - generous portions, extraordinary variety and really fresh as a lot of it is grown in the hotel garden. The location is a little out of Hiraizumi but it doesn’t matter - there’s a shuttle, and the location is serene and beautiful. Also the onsen is amazing!

Nice and clean Onsen is available

Beautiful and large property! Onsen was perfect! Staff was exceptional!

A special Hotel in a very special place, one of our best stays ever. Prior to our arrival I had arranged with the hotel to be picked up from the station. As promised a taxi arrived and drove ourselves and a couple of other guests the 15 minutes or so to the hotel. Staff were waiting outside to greet us and show us to reception where checkin was effortless as desk clerk spoke good English. Unusually we weren’t expected to pay or leave a credit card on file, payment is when you leave. We had booked a suite with sea views primarily because we needed western beds and chairs as we feel that sadly, the days of sleeping on the floor are behind us. In fact the rooms are described as The Royal Suite and it lives up to its name. There are three large rooms elegantly furnished. The double aspect room with large windows allowed us to appreciate the spectacular views of the bay, An absolute delight was the wet room with its shower and bathing pool, big enough for two, which afforded a view of the bay. Needless to say everything was spotlessly clean and comfortable, the wifi worked well, but the star of the room was certainly the view and the strange sense of peace and spirituality, which we both felt. Dinner too was a highlight partly cooked on jot plates at the table it was a feast of food from the sea. We ordered a bottle of white wine to go with the meal. It was Japanese and was, well….. interesting and not unpleasant. The bed was large and comfortable and the view at night with a full moon sparkling on the sea was amazing. The weather was cold with snow on the ground so we did not venture down to the beach. Breakfast was again most enjoyable and all too soon it was time to check out and take the shuttle bus to the station. Our stay was not cheap, but to put it in context much less than an average room in a Tokyo hotel, but considering the space, the excellent food, the service and above all the sense of peace was well worth it. A very special place to stay.

Amazing room and great location. We had the pleasure to try sulfur onsen and it was really great. Such a nice relaxing time in this hotel.

Staff was very patient and friendly. Room and provided pajamas were comfortable.

The dinner was superb. The room has the ocean view with many of Matsushima islands. The hot spring bath were great. They had one on the main floor and on the top floor with the outside view. I also had the oil massage. The hotel decor is Indian Buddhist. It is very clean and roomy. I really enjoyed the meals.
