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.
If you cross the Kaiun Bridge over the Kitakami River from Morioka Station, you'll find a large downtown area leading to Morioka Castle Ruins Park. The hotel was located on the north side of this downtown area.
The lounge on the first floor offers a welcome drink service to warm you up. Rice balls and soup are also served on weekday evenings.
This is what a standard single room looks like. It was comfortable during the cold season, with sliding doors to keep out the cold air from the windows and a shower toilet with a hot water heater.
As the reviews said, breakfast featured many dishes made with local ingredients. There was such a wide variety that I couldn't try everything. I was particularly satisfied with the local cuisine.
This was my first visit to Morioka, and I would definitely stay at this hotel again next time.
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.
This is the best ever hotel I have ever been to in Japan. The name Richmond guarantees so many things. You can count on it. Even though it’s not in a big city like Tokyo or Osaka, but if you are visiting Morioka - choose this hotel. It worth every penny of yours. The staffs are so helpful, dedicated and dependable at anytime and any situation you need. All staffs say that their English are not good, but I who lived in London for many years would say that their skill is more than just okay. Even the housekeepers are still nice. I have some problems with my luggage transfers to the airport from the hotel and they are trying their best to help me alleviate those.
There is a free service lounge from noon to 8pm in the 2nd floor. The microwave oven and ice machine on the 7th floor. The coin washing machine is also located on the 7th floor - 500 yens for wash and dry. Convenient store(Lawson) is on the ground floor with direct access from the lobby.
I’ve stayed on the 9th floor. The room is big and the view of the station was fabulous. Free WiFi is available. And the TV system communicates with all the system of the hotel shows all the information you need - even the time left of the coin washing machine that you used.
Yakiniku and many delicious restaurants just around the corner from the hotel.
Definitely will stay here again anytime I visit Morioka.
Has a slight hiccup getting to the hotel as you have to use the underpass to cross the road. But other than that, enjoyed our stay here! Short 5 mins walk from station, hotel is located right next to the river and bridge! Very nice view, esp from the bridge. Room is tight but has long corridor to open our luggage. Bathtub was big. Convenience store just downstairs, walkable to many attractions and Aeon supermarket! Will be back!
The hot spring hotel has a beautiful environment and the service staff is friendly.
The remote location is a big problem. There is no restaurant inside the hotel. You need to walk to another place to eat. It was snowing when we stayed, so it was not very convenient to walk.
The rest is still good.
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.
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 😘
Annual ski holiday, this time to choose the Ambi plateau. Because the price of the snow field hotel is more expensive, there is a hot spring nearby hotel to try. The hotel will arrange a free JR pick-up service, the staff is polite, and help, praise!
The accommodation includes two meals, breakfast is the same every day - set plus a small amount of buffet form - food is provided. And dinner is shabu shabu, charcoal roasted cattle, and the same buried sushi roast is replaced in turn. Beef is Tian Zeniu, personally think that the meat quality is not 10 points excellent, but it is acceptable.
There are hot springs in the hotel, there are two private styles, and the package is not wrong. The only place that is not ideal is far away. If you don't drive by yourself, you have to arrange a shuttle bus to the snow field by the hotel.
The same buried daily breakfast time, dinner time, shuttle bus time needs to be prepared in advance, so you can freely and easily decide what time to eat and what time to go to the snow field and what time to return.
The hotel is close to the east exit of Beishangyu. You can park your car near the parking lot. When you check in, you can enjoy free parking when you use it when you leave the gate. It is very convenient to take the car and drive by car. The large bath is relatively small but it is very good.
Great

PpollyvilaThe scenery of the hotel is too much to expect, the beauty is not not, you must come to the scene to feel, you can lie down and watch the sunrise for two days, the hotel is in the national park, the hotel provides two cruise services downstairs, the big boat de cruise service is suspended on Tuesday and Wednesday, The small boat is a person who can visit the Qingの cave for 2000 yen. You can see the black tail, see the very special starfish. The hotel's breakfast and dinner are also very good.
AAnonymous UserThe room is extremely thin, there is no opening space, and there are pillars in the room.
There is only one lift and it is always crowded.
Breakfast style is average.
YyamasukWe stayed here in mid-October to see the autumn leaves.
We arrived at night, and the exterior lights were beautiful.
Soon after entering the room, we were greeted by two stink bugs, causing quite a commotion.
There was duct tape and instructions on how to get rid of stink bugs in the room...
My husband reluctantly managed to get rid of them.
There is one indoor and one outdoor hot spring. Men and women alternate in the morning and evening.
Even though we had tags on our slippers, someone accidentally put them on, which was a bit annoying, but the hot spring was great.
Since there are foreign guests, I think the tags should be written in different characters instead of hiragana.
In the morning, the sun shining on the mountains, visible from the outdoor bath, was beautiful.
There was a strong sulfur smell, and since we were relatively close to the hot spring, it lingered inside our room.
If you don't like sulfur, you might want to request a room further away from the hot spring.
The breakfast and dinner buffets were very extensive, and both my husband and I were very satisfied. Everything was especially delicious for dinner; I ate way too much.
There's nothing nearby, but it's fairly close to Hachimantai, so if you have a car, it's a good location.
The autumn leaves at Hachimantai, which I was looking forward to seeing, were at their peak around the middle of the mountain, and I was moved by how beautiful they were. It was so beautiful, yet not too crowded or deserted, which was great. Maybe it's a hidden gem?
The area around the hotel seems to be at its best around late October. I'm sure there will be autumn leaves somewhere throughout October that you can enjoy.
I wasn't able to participate, but it seems they also hold evening explanations about Hachimantai and stargazing events, which I highly recommend for anyone who wants to enjoy Hachimantai to the fullest.
It would be even better if they could take better measures against stink bugs.
GGuest UserThe location is good for the family ski holiday with all facilities available for this ski-in/ski-out hotel. The breakfast has a good variety while the dinner options are good especially the Teppanyaki restaurant with the local beef and abalone. The Japanese restaurant was also good with various dishes to choose from. The outdoor onsen at 白樺之湯 really worth the visit after the ski and I’d recommend to enjoy at day time. We have also tried the hotel massage services and it was really good and relaxing! The only thing for improvement is that the room themselves are a bit old and maybe should consider renovations in coming years. The shops have many food and drinks and souvenirs. We also got a big pack of fireworks that we can pay together with kids just outside the hotel on the snow slope.
Overall we enjoyed the stay and the slopes and ski school are magnificent!
LLanie KirklandA group of four of us booked a cabin on a whim, and I’m so happy we did!! We did a two-day ski trip to Geto Kogen, and I cannot stress enough how convenient these cabins were to the resort itself. We stayed overnight in between two days at the resort. The drive up to the resort was less than 20 minutes. The cabin itself was super cozy, so comfortable, had great amenities for the short time we were there, and the staff were so kind and helpful. Everything was very clean, the heater was already on when we arrived, which was a very thoughtful touch, and we were able to hang all our snow gear to dry thanks to the copious amounts of hangars available. We felt it was a crazy good deal based on the price, location, and availability to book it just a few days in advance. We will definitely be back in the summer to use the grill and go golfing at the country club!
DDevI stayed at this place during my hike through the Michinoku coastal trail. This is a good choice before you attempt Kurosakiso and Kitayamazaki coast. This can be reached easily from Horinai station. Cross the big bridge and walk a bit more, you can see the sign to the left. The hotel has nice indoor and outdoor onsen. Many locals come here to use the onsen. They probably have annual or life membership to use the onsen. It is a nice opportunity to chat with some of them. When I was there, it was raining and hence I could not enjoy the view, however, using onsen after hiking in the rain was quite relaxing. On a clear day, the ocean can be seen from the room window. Dinner can be ordered and is quite good at a reasonable price. The next day, the hotel shuttle dropped me to the train station which was quite nice, I did not have to walk in rain.

HHr waSelf-driving car ありで utilization. Parking lot は no material.
It is a small hotel, but there are a number of rooms or more parking lots, so it seems that you cannot park your car.
A system where you can give a card key at check-in and put it in a box when you go out and leave it as it is. You don't need to leave it at the front desk when you go out. Simple but no trouble.
It is a little far from the nearest Ichinoseki station and the downtown area in front of the station (?), but it is a distance that cannot be walked. Is it a little closer from the east exit? It seems to be within the taxi first ride fare range.
There are seven eleven and drug stores (food super type goods) within 3 minutes walk of the inn, and there is no particular inconvenience in shopping.
The room doesn't feel that big, but it has everything you need to stay as a business and it's a good impression. There is no particular concern about beds and bedding.
WIFI speed is no problem, and the sound of other rooms is not particularly heard and comfortable. Best environment if you don't ask for excessive service.
Free breakfast is a system that takes bread, small bowls, yogurt (Danon), and beverages by yourself. It's simple, but if you don't need ”guts from the morning!”, you can even feel that it's just right.
The price is the lowest among the hotels near ichinoseki station, and there is no shortage of service if it is a business use with a car.
I think it will be a good choice for those who do not ask for extra service for accommodation.
Personally I was able to stay comfortably.
YYoshimasaIn the natural environment surrounded by mountains and forests, the clear stream behind the inn flows gurgling, healing the body and mind.
It is fun to enjoy each of the four hot springs that flow directly from the source, but we especially recommend the deepest hot spring in Japan.
This is a self-propelled natural rock bath ”Shirasaru no Yu”. This is a very rare hot spring. Due to its depth, you can stand up to enter, but it is evenly distributed throughout your body.
It is said that applying hot water pressure can effectively promote blood circulation. The hall also has a nostalgic atmosphere, as if traveling to the past.
The hospitality of the staff is also very attentive. If you have the opportunity to stay in Hanamaki, it is a hotel worth staying in.
