Homestays in Iwate Prefecture, Japan

The best ski in and ski out and Onsen hotel in Japan so far! We loved the hotel so much in Oct 2025 so we rebooked and came again from Dec 20-24, 2025. 1. Very convenient for ski experience. Ski in and ski out. Ski rental and ski coach school are just besides hotel. Good experience for rentals and coaches hiring. 2. Breakfast and dinner buffets are great and so yummy! The food does change every night to give you diversified variation to choose from. Very delicate food preparations by great chefs so don’t worry you will never get bored. 3. Onsen is also great great great! Great view and women and men get alternate the hot spring pool everyday. 4. First floor relaxing area is great great! You have self service bar of juice / soda / coffee and popsicles. 5. The hotel staffs are so nice and make you feel at home. Motoyo-San is extremely friendly and her English is so fluent!!! We were very lucky to have her help out during our stay. 6. 3rd floor is newly renovated so pls try this beautiful room next time! Highly recommend!!!! Great for family and couple trips!

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.

1、酒店迎接巴士從一關站前，建議還是預訂，否則有可能沒有大車，路程還是比較遠，約半小時。送行巴士可以到一關或者是平泉，也可以順路到嚴美溪。作為附近的旅遊中轉站其實很不錯。 2、酒店外風景很好，溪水顏色碧藍，很漂亮，温泉水質感覺也很不錯。有牛虻，要稍微注意。 3、餐食都是半自助，確實不怎麼樣，可以選擇的自助品種很少，相對來説主材選擇烤牛肉、壽喜燒最好，海鮮鍋和豬肉鍋都很一般。如果對餐食要求比較低，這裏真的不錯。 4、主樓房間視野很好，風景秀麗。 5、要注意提醒酒店當天要打掃房間，否則可能就不打掃了。

Very good feeling, as soon as you arrive at the hotel, there is a friendly staff reception, help to help with luggage, the check-in process has a detailed explanation of the service staff, smiles, kind and cute, and at the same time explain the hotel facilities and the layout of the room. Space, we are here during the period, Had a wonderful dinner (kaiseki cuisine) and a hearty breakfast, everything was very good, I hope to stay next time.

步行距離有7-eleven，車程5分鐘附近有Aeon, Market place, etc... 很方便。也可前往參觀海嘯紀念館，有很多當地特產，當地民風純樸友善。

I had visited Momijikan on a day trip to the onsen before and loved it. This time, my boyfriend and I booked a great value room (randomly assigned) and were given a tatami room. We got up early to see the sunrise over the snow-covered ground – the view was beautiful. We asked the front desk to book a shuttle bus for the next day the night before, so we could go directly to JR Hanamaki Station after check-out – very convenient. The breakfast selection was extensive and delicious – I highly recommend choosing a hotel with breakfast included when booking!

The hotel staff are very warm, polite and attentive. Very satisfied! The room I booked includes a semi-open-air bath, which is a great environment. The room was also cleaned very well. Breakfast and dinner were also very rich and delicious. Highly recommended!!!!

Stayed there for 9 days. Location in the middle of the mountain Ten minutes drive from Xiayou Plateau Ski Resort The environment is very comfortable The meal with the room is not bad, but it is a bit tired to eat every day. Going out to eat, you need to inform the front desk that you are not dining at the hotel. But it makes people feel a little confused if they don't refund the cost of not eating. Everything else is fine. The hot spring pool is very diverse It is most suitable to soak in open-air hot springs when it is snowing

Superb onsen hotel. We took sea view and it was superb with a small balcony. Room are very confortable and big. Onsen was excellent with an outside bath looking at the bay. We had dinner also and it was 5 star. Staff were super helpful (front desk, restaurant etc)

Great little Inn, lots of charm. Think of it as a 5 star B&B.
