I stayed here for a quick overnight stop in Morioka and found it very efficient and comfortable.
The hotel is within a five-minute walk of Morioka Station, with plenty of restaurants and izakaya nearby, making it easy to find food at any hour. A major convenience is the direct connection to a 7-Eleven on the ground floor, accessible without going outside—practical, especially at night.
The room is modern, clean, and updated, with a large TV that makes it easy to unwind. On-site parking is available, though it was full on the night I stayed. That said, an NPC parking lot is located directly across the street, so parking was still straightforward.
Overall, this is a solid choice for short stays—well located, modern, and designed for convenience.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 experience was superb! The onsen was good and relaxing. I love that they provide yogurt drink and ice lolly. There is also complimentary soba noodles at 9:30pm. What is more important is that they have free laundry and that the status of the machines can be viewed on TV!
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
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
Very Good

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.
__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!
DDexteryqkAppi Kogen is a beautiful resort area with a peaceful atmosphere and stunning mountain scenery. The location is convenient for accessing the ski slopes, and there’s a surprisingly good variety of food options nearby. From traditional Japanese meals to Western-style cafés and hotel buffets, you’ll find plenty to enjoy after a day on the slopes. It’s a great spot for both outdoor activities and relaxing in comfort.

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.
