3-Star Hotels in Iwate Prefecture, Japan

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.

Stayed for one night before heading to Geto Kogen ski resort. Right opposite the train station with restaurants and Lawson within walking distance. The breakfast was quite nice too and the price was very reasonable. Had an enjoyable stay overall.

This hotel boasts an elegant environment, attentive service, clean and comfortable rooms, and complete facilities, making it a relaxing and enjoyable stay. It's definitely worth staying again and would be highly recommended! Unfortunately, the hotel provided the wrong room type. Fortunately, trip.com offered a solution, which was helpful.

Decent clean rooms... small with basic amenities. Room interior fittings looks new, but the bathtub was a tad old. Location is fairly near Kitakami JR station, say 10 or 15mins walk. There's a nice river view facing the back, and good for morning stroll. All else, it was a short transit stopover stay for my group. Hadn't use any of their facilities

Before staying at this hotel, I stayed at the Crown Hotel in Ambi Ski Resort for five days. Later, when Crown ran out of room, we booked this nearby hotel. The room is very big and clean, the facilities are very new, and the view outside the window is beautiful. Except for convenience, everything else beats Crown. But please note that you must not lose the room key. If you lose it, you will have to replace the entire set of locks and you will be compensated 100,000 yen. Breakfast has few varieties but is filling. We rented a car and drove to the ski resort, which was very convenient. I will stay here again next time I come to Ambi for skiing!

Hotel Jin Morioka is just next to the train station. Very convenient location as a center point to travel in the region. Rooms are clean and nice with Mountain View. Breakfast for only 1000 Yen is a very good offer. Definitely recommend this hotel 👍

It's not in walking distance from Kitakami Station (it takes 25 minutes to walk there), but American World is next door and they provide shuttle service to the station and the bar district. The best thing about the facilities is the outdoor bath, although I've never used the bath in the room. A morning bath is great when you're on a business trip. The breakfast afterwards is also delicious, so I recommend the breakfast option.

Simple hotel, good enough for a night's rest. It's close to the station so it's very convenient. TV looks new, with apps available like netflix or Disney plus, but you have to use your own account. Or you can watch YouTube too. Amenities wise, minimal. The good thing is it cuts down wastage, but it also means you'll have to go to the lobby to get what you need (DIY). Not the most convenient, but eco friendly enough.

1. Hotel Location The hotel is located in Tsunagi Onsen, Morioka. If you are not driving, the main ways to get there are the very infrequent public buses or taxis with a fixed fare (5,000 yen). 2. Nearby Amenities Tsunagi Onsen is located in a rural area of ​​Morioka. There is only one convenience store nearby. If you plan to go, it is recommended to buy some daily necessities beforehand. 3. Hotel Facilities As a hot spring hotel, this hotel has abundant entertainment facilities. For example, the hotel offers traditional cultural performances at irregular intervals in the evenings, and daytime buses to other tourist attractions in the Morioka area. The hotel's main feature is its extensive hot spring facilities, with many baths. 4. Hotel Staff Service The hotel staff's service attitude is average. The front desk staff are not very enthusiastic, but the staff at the breakfast and dinner restaurants are quite friendly.

Advantages: It's very close to the station, which is especially friendly for people like me who like to bring large suitcases. Secondly, the service attitude at the front desk was very good, and they were not deliberately indifferent because I was a foreigner. The room is very big, the big box can be unfolded, and the air conditioning is very powerful. Disadvantages: Sound insulation is average, you can even hear snoring from next door or upstairs or downstairs in the dead of night.
