It's an older business hotel, but despite its age, the overall environment is very clean and doesn't have the musty smell of old hotels. It's not too far from Morioka Station, the breakfast is quite plentiful, and the overall accommodation price is very cheap. There's a parking lot next door, which is very convenient for those driving. The room is a bit small and dark, the pillows are a bit flat, and the air conditioning is central, so there's no way to adjust the temperature; you can only choose the fan speed.
I am a US traveler on business. I have visited Kashoen before and based on my experiences it is the only hotel I will ever stay at in Hanamaki.
The hotel staff are the kindest, most caring, and passionate people I have met at a hotel. The amenities are fantastic, the hotel food is phenomenal, and my stay is always relaxing. The rooms are very clean and comfortable.
There is a nice nature trail nearby with a river that is beautiful as well.
If you are in Hanamaki or are looking for somewhere to enjoy a peaceful weekend at, I suggest Kashoen.
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 price is affordable, and dinner includes all-you-can-eat snow crab and a variety of hot pot dishes, perfect for winter. Better than the dinner at Hoshino Aomoriya.
The three restaurants are connected, with performances in the evening, music at dinner, and shops across the street.
However, for a hotel with this number of rooms, the outdoor hot spring is a bit smaller than expected (it just so happens that the largest open-air pool at Hanamaki Hotel is closed in winter). In addition, there should be more flexible transfer services between the four hotels. The Red Leaf Pavilion is connected to Jiasong Garden, and you have to drag your luggage onto the bus yourself. The service's responsiveness needs to be strengthened. Please understand that we have come from afar and want to experience different hotel styles.
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.
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 service staff is very kind and friendly. Although they don't understand English, they will try their best to use the translation machine. The overall facilities in the store are good, the rooms are well maintained, the hot spring hotel is very good, the room is also large, and the sleep is comfortable
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 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).
Next to the train station. When compared to other hotels, there aren’t many amenities to use. But they do have the necessary amenities.
Great

GGuest UserThe location is beautiful and the views from the car park assured us we had chosen well. Check in was helpful and all facilities were fully explained at this time, allowing us to book our dining time.
The room was comfortable and traditional; the view, amazing! With an afternoon of sunshine, time was taken to enjoy the view in a temperature controlled setting. There was a beautiful tea set and tea provided along with some complementary snacks and water. The toiletries provided were lovely and I shall certainly be looking to purchase these for my home.
Dinner was a Chinese style buffet, with an excellent selection of dishes. Barbecues for the table and delicious sashimi and hand prepared sushi. Soups, stews, salad and more! To follow was an assortment of cakes and ice creams. Staff were very helpful and polite and the food was filling and delicious. We then retired to the hotel bar where we were again greeted by a lovely member of staff.
Upon return to our room, futons had been prepared and the room made ready for sleep. These were surprisingly comfortable.
Breakfast was also delicious with a huge array of dishes to choose from. Check out was simple and staff were helpful and polite.
I will definitely be returning!

__M1391785****The room is average and the price/performance ratio is very high. The next day we woke up late and missed breakfast, but the waitress immediately prepared a set meal for us, including curry rice, vegetable soup, Japanese vegetables, and juice. It was very rich and we were very full. Thank you very much! Toyoko Inn is usually located very close to JR station. Although the rooms are small, they are very cost-effective! recommend!
KKanThe 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!
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.
GGuest UserI stayed here while visiting my hometown. I chose this hotel because I wanted to relax in a hot spring. The quality of the hot spring was excellent. The location from the open-air bath isn't the best, but it's not completely visible, so I think that actually helped me relax. It was summer, but the sounds of cicadas and cuckoos added to the resort atmosphere.
The room was spacious and clean. The amenities were more than enough. Soap and shampoo are provided at the hot spring, so you can easily enter empty-handed (just bring a towel). Towels are also provided in the room.
I booked a breakfast-included plan, so I was looking forward to it. It's a buffet, but the selection is so extensive that I was full before I could enjoy it all. The menu changes daily, so it was fun to stay multiple nights.
The lobby also offers free drinks and popsicles, which is a great service for families with children.
The only downside is the Wi-Fi. While there is free Wi-Fi on each floor, it's really poorly connected. And even when I thought I had it, it would disconnect immediately. The signal was poor, so I would notice it disconnecting before I knew it. This needs to be improved; Wi-Fi is available! Despite advertising it as such, it was practically nonexistent.
The voices of tourists were loud late at night. I think they were Chinese, but even though it was past midnight I could hear them doing something in the hallway and it made it difficult to sleep.
However, overall it was a good hotel, and although I was traveling alone this time, I would like to bring my family next time.
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.
GGuest UserThe hotel was very clean and the staff was helpful. The Japanese style room was large and a teapot with tea was provided.
The hotel had a breakfast buffet with very good food and hot drinks that opened at 6:30 am. We appreciated the early morning opening as we wanted to hike and could get an early start. Most restaurants /shops in MIyako open at 10.
There are plenty of great restaurants downtown and surrounding areas, about a 30-40 minute walk. The hotel is also willing to call a cab.
After a long day of hiking it was great to be able to use the onsen in the hotel.
We would stay there again when visiting Japan.
