Hot Springs Hotels in Iwate Prefecture, Japan

The experience was superb! The onsen was good and relaxing. I love that they provide yogurt drink and ice lolly. There is also complimentary soba noodles at 9:30pm. What is more important is that they have free laundry and that the status of the machines can be viewed on TV!

How do I describe this hotel? In one word: amazing. It was my first time experiencing a mixed-gender bath from over a century ago. I was truly impressed! The elderly gentlemen were just casually strolling around without a care in the world. Families, you absolutely must try the mixed-gender outdoor hot spring bath. It's located in the old wing of the hotel, a bit of a walk from the new wing, but once you're in the hotel, just grab a map and you'll find it. You can also take the opportunity to peek into the rooms and dining hall of this century-old ryokan. As for the room, it goes without saying that upon entering, you're greeted with a flood of green, which was quite a pleasant surprise. The only minor point is that the Hozawa River was a bit murky. I drove upstream along the river, and soon lost cell service, so it is quite remote, but definitely worth a visit. The two meals were decent, nothing spectacular but perfectly acceptable.

食事は岩手牛、松茸御膳と大変美味しかったです。龍泉洞ビール、紫波のワインがあります。ワインは売店で3000円のを3500円で飲めるので良心的かと。ヨーグルトソフトクリームのサービスがあり食後に楽しませて貰いました。 温泉は、泉質：弱アルカリ性　PH8・5 龍泉洞の地底湖と同じ源泉をくみ上げ、活性石にとおした水を沸かしているため、柔らかな優しいお湯でした。 龍泉洞まで車で5分かからず、浄土ヶ浜まで50分と、観光拠点として便利でした。 コスパは良いホテルかと思います。 EV充電はあるけれど料金が高く使用しませんでした。

This hotel is perfect for family ski trips. The facilities are excellent, and it's very convenient for skiing. Both breakfast and dinner offer a great variety of food. The shuttle bus to the station is also very handy. Remember to book your ski rentals in advance, and there's a dedicated storage area for your gear.

It’s a very nice get away hotel with 2 Onsen at separate floor, also have a pre-book private onsen for the couple ❤️. Stunning view from my suite room. Dinner food set are also excellent. Definitely will come back again.

I used it on a family trip. This is my second stay since I visited in March. I like it because my skin is chewy with hot spring water. Breakfast and dinner are also very satisfying! I stayed here for a family vacation, this is my second stay after visiting in March. I love the hot spring water because it makes my skin glutinous. Breakfast and dinner are also very satisfying!

The service is outstanding since my first step into the hotel. The room is big like i can run around. Breakfast is great. Plenty of good food served as japanese set. Onsen is really comfortable. I went there in summer that there were not many tourists. So sometime, there was only me in the onsen. It was very quiet peaceful and relaxing A mark for those who books for dinner excluded bundle. There are rarely any restaurant around. There is one in front of the street corner (5mins walk) but the opening time and date could not be expected. You can find something to eat from Family mart (20 mins walk).

Located near Tanohata train station (within walking distance), the hotel is beachfront with great views, nice rooms, and a good breakfast. Staff can also arrange a shared taxi to Kitayamazaki Cliffs for you.

Unexpected accommodation. The room is very big. After entering the hotel, you have to take off your shoes and wear socks at all times. The service staff will also help clean the luggage wheels. There are 3 types of outdoor hot spring pools and you can see many stars.
