Hotels Near Nanashigure Caldera Line in Hachimantai

The good: - Staff was very helpful - Central location to northern Tohoku (if driving) - Room was large and clean, and had plenty power outlets - Restaurants (breakfast and the Japanese restaurant) were all great with lots of local ingredients and plenty of space between tables. - Very nice onsen (in the adjacent Holiday Inn) The bad: - The room was dated (but with enough modern amenities like USB plugs) The ugly: - Wi-Fi is not encrypted

Free coffee was available in the lobby from 7:00 to 21:00. I was very happy because I couldn't drink coffee on this Hachimantai trip. The desk in the lobby was designed to be at a height where you could read books, and there were seats surrounding the fireplace, so the furnishings were relaxing. The windows were big and comfortable. I enjoyed playing online games with 4 people at the desk in the lobby. There were many outlets for charging in the living room, which was also a high point. I also liked the fact that it was easy to save energy because the light switch was arranged in one place. (Because if the light switch is broken in the room, it will be too much to turn off all of them.) And the color of the light is good (the color temperature is low and calm), the amount of light is necessary and sufficient, and it was adjustable. I thought that this was a well-thought-out hotel. There was plenty of ice water and hot water. However, I wanted tea because it was only tea. (I went out by car and bought it at a small shop.) There are only ２ coin laundry for washing and drying, and I think it's off-season in summer, but it was still crowded. The bath is also written as Max for 18 people, and it seems that you need to choose the time. If you like hot springs, you can visit the hot springs outside. I had a mini French buffet for one night out of two nights, and dinner at a nearby restaurant, Northern Grande for one night, so I never got tired of it. It was adjacent to the forest of the prefecture and I enjoyed walking. The ski season is also good because it is a hotel with autumn leaves and ski resorts. It is a hotel that I want to stay again.

I used to like Dormy Inn hotels and it’s group hotels, which guarantee good services and hotel  facilities. The hotel is in a walking distance to the castle site.

Good breakfast, good health, walk out from jr for about 5 minutes. Check in and check out are fast, no deposit is required, the twin room can open two large suitcases, no problem, there is a refrigerator.

The big bed in the room is not soft and makes it easy to sleep on. There are 2 types of memory pillows and down pillows to choose from in the room. The memory pillows have enough support for a good sleep. It takes about 5-15 minutes to walk to a supermarket near the city. There are 8 shops. Within the limit, eating and drinking are not a problem. There is Matsumoto Kiyoshi and Fukuda Bread opposite, which is an 8-minute walk. Parking is right next to Times 700/night and you can’t go out if you park. The other one has unlimited access but you have to leave. The only drawback is that there is no bath. DHC's bath products are very useful. I am very satisfied with this hotel. I recommend it.

The rooms and lobby were clean and I was satisfied, but the floor in the breakfast room was sticky and there were dishes left unwashed, which made it feel unsanitary and the food tasted bad. Also, I was in trouble because there were no toiletries such as face wash and lotion for women.

Hotel is rather new, everything not worn out yet. Clean, modern Japanese look. Conveniently located within 5min walking distance from Morioka Shinkansen. The room was small (as usual for Japanese hotel rooms) but clean and nicely renovated. The toilet has both shower and bath facilities. Breakfast was okay, typical average fare. It would certainly not be my first choice, especially given the 1800yen price but it is convenient. Parking is available in an annexe building adjacent to the hotel. The car park is managed by hotel staff, and has preferential rates for hotel guests with in/out privileges. However, you can only retrieve your car between 7am to 11pm.

We stayed on a free tour of 2 nights and 3 days from a travel agency. It is a simple tour of Shinkansen and accommodation. Currently, a round-trip transfer from Morioka Station to the hotel, which costs 200 yen one way, was also included. However, when I took the transfer bus to Morioka City on the second day, it cost 200 yen one way. Since there is only one train departing from Morioka Station at 3:00 pm, if you want to play a little more, you will use the fixed-route bus, but in that case it was 630 yen from Morioka Station. This route bus takes about 35 minutes because it passes through AEON Mall and Morioka Tezukuri Village. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the end point of the connection hot spring to the hotel, but when you arrive, you will pick you up when you call. This is free. The entrance to the hotel is on the second floor, but there is a large lobby overlooking the Gosho Lake spreading in front of you. Here, although it stops by the season, Sansa Odori is held every night from 8:15 pm to 25 minutes. The preservation society changes daily, so the dance and drums are different, and you can enjoy it every night, which is very powerful. From 3 pm, you can enjoy coffee and tea, orange juice and ice candy as a welcome drink in the lobby. Ice is also a vendor, so I could use it for drinking in the room. The hot spring has a large communal bath three times, and it is good here, but the hot water of the southern bend house on the second floor was good. You can enjoy two types of hot water on a daily basis from 5 am to 10 pm. The architecture is also great. The meal was included in the tour, but it was very delicious unlike the two nights. Breakfast is a buffet, but there are many local dishes (hitsumi soup, Morioka soba, Jaja noodles, etc.). As for the guest rooms, all rooms have lake views, but it seems better to go upstairs. In a 12 tatami Japanese-style room, there are about 3 tatami mats by the window and a table space. There was an independent toilet and a large washbasin, and there was a room bath, but I didn't use it because there was a hot spring.

There is an inn at "Tsunagi Onsen" along Lake Gosho near Koiwai Farm. You can see Mt. Iwate on the lakeside, but unfortunately it is located in the back of the mountain, so you cannot see Lake Gosho from the inn. It was a calm 3-story Japanese-style inn, and it was a reasonable size, and it was very easy to move around the dining area and bath. The selected room has a bed, so it's nice to be able to lie down right away! The supper you are looking for is kaiseki cuisine, which also comes with shell sea urchin! It's not a private room, but the Heian period? It was partitioned into. I was able to enjoy it slowly and very deliciously. The temperature of the bath was so good that it wasn't lukewarm, and the open air surrounded by trees was slowly created. The service and greetings of the employees are also comfortable, and it has become a ryokan that I definitely recommend.
