4-Star Hotels in Iwate Prefecture, Japan

I stayed here for three nights and had a great experience! The location is directly opposite Morioka Station; you can see the building as soon as you exit the station. There's also an underground passage leading right to the hotel entrance, so you don't have to walk far even on snowy days. Right outside the hotel, there's a Lawson and a Matsuya, and it's very close to several famous restaurants near the station. My room this time was on the highest floor, the eighteenth, with a view overlooking Morioka Station. The room included shampoo, body wash, etc. Other amenities were available for self-service in the lobby downstairs, with a wide variety, many of which were from POLA. There was also a multi-charger in the drawer, which was very convenient. I didn't take photos of the room's interior, but it looked pretty much like the booking pictures. The breakfast was abundant. Besides the usual items, there were also various Morioka-specialty noodles to try. If you don't use your breakfast voucher, you can exchange it at the front desk for a boxed pastry to take away, which is a thoughtful touch.

We were very satisfied with our stay! The hotel is conveniently located with great nearby amenities, and transportation is extremely accessible. The room was clean, tidy, and comfortable, with plenty of space and complete amenities, making it a very relaxing place to stay. The staff were friendly and professional, and we could truly feel their care and enthusiasm from check-in to check-out. Any questions or requests were handled promptly and efficiently. The overall environment was quiet and comfortable, allowing us to rest well. This is definitely a hotel we would love to return to and highly recommend to anyone visiting the area for travel or business.

Overall very good place but a little difficult to find without maps because the sign on the front is not very big nor well lit. also the main entrance is not where you expect it but below ground level.

The hotel is within walking distance from the Morioka Shinkansen station, the rooms are spacious and is near the main shopping street with a mall across the street.

The hotel is located in Hanamaki Onsen Village, which is a group of three hotels. You can go to the hot springs in all three hotels, but I only went to the Momijikan, which has both outdoor and indoor hot springs. The area is not small and very comfortable. The room is also large, and the breakfast is rich in variety, with Japanese and Western food. There are also sukiyaki, local milk and ice cream. The hotel also has free folk performances in the lobby every night, which is very unique. If it is spring and summer, the rose garden near the hotel should also be beautiful. A very recommended hotel. The disadvantage is that the surrounding public transportation is not very convenient. You can only make an appointment to take the free shuttle bus from the hotel to Shin-Hanamaki Station. Although there are ordinary buses, there are very few buses.

We arrived late from an overseas trip but before the check in last call. Staff was friendly and thorough. The air conditioning seemed a bit weak but otherwise kept us cool. The rooms were western style, including the bathrooms and were well stocked. We didn't get a chance to eat there as we slept in until almost checkout. Beautiful place. Will likely stay there again in the future if we need another night in Morioka!

The stay was smooth, we arrived at 7:30 in the evening, one berth and two meals, the food was rich and delicious, there was no more reassuring and satisfying than the dining at the accommodation, and the family said it was good. This hotel chain features night ramen service, which is delicious. After taking a bath, Meimei sleeps, Japanese-style relaxation holiday style, I like 😘

The hotel is near the station, with convenient transportation. The staff is polite and can communicate in English. The room is well-equipped and clean. The breakfast is rich. We stayed for two consecutive days, but the hotel required us to return the key to the front desk every day when we went out. After returning to the hotel, we had to wait in line again to go through the key collection procedure.

I stayed in a moderate single room. It was beautifully renovated and very cute. It was directly connected to the station, so it was very convenient to be able to buy various souvenirs in the station building.

Appi Kogen is a beautiful resort area with a peaceful atmosphere and stunning mountain scenery. The location is convenient for accessing the ski slopes, and there’s a surprisingly good variety of food options nearby. From traditional Japanese meals to Western-style cafés and hotel buffets, you’ll find plenty to enjoy after a day on the slopes. It’s a great spot for both outdoor activities and relaxing in comfort.
