The proprietress is super nice and loves life. Although the English is average, she did her best to help us and took us to the supermarket to buy things and sent us to the train station to clean up the hotel. My mother can't speak a word of Japanese but she became friends when we left. Not willing yet

It is a very comfortable hot spring hotel. It is medium-sized and you can enjoy your rest time. The hotel assists in collecting goods. Thank you very much for your enthusiastic help! !

Located next to Hanamaki station, it is located about 10 minutes by taxi from Hanamaki airport. The construction of the so-called local business hotel in front of the station and the building itself is felt by the business hotel of the Showa period, and the oldness is not denied, but the building and the room are maintained in the same way, and there is no problem at all. The speed of wifi is also high speed with down sleeve up, and I don't feel stress even if I watch the video. Breakfast is a Japanese buffet at the first floor restaurant, and there are not many items, but it is enough if it is breakfast. There is a future city Galactic Earth Railway drawn with special paint on the wall of about 5 minutes from the hotel.

I saw a plane landing near the runway at Hanamaki Airport. It is along the national route ４, but the intersection just before is complicated, so I think it is better to go carefully after seeing the hotel. The public bath felt like it was a bit small compared to other route inns. The free breakfast was delicious.

In 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.

I stayed in a room on the 3rd floor using the goto campaign. The room was a Japanese style room with 6 tatami mats and 2 beds, so I felt a little cramped. But I think it would be a relaxing space for the two of us. The open-air bath in the room was free-flowing, and the water temperature was hot, so the cold outside was pleasant. There is also a shower room next door. The amenities in the room were Omnisans. Drinks in the refrigerator in the room were free. There were two bottles each of canned beer, canned shochu high, 500 plastic bottled tea, and mineral water. The food in the private dining room was delicious. For the main, I chose steak and abalone one by one. Ginga no Shizuku's new rice was sticky and very delicious. The public bath is not very big, but there is also an open-air bath, and since the men's and women's baths are switched at night and in the morning, we were able to enter two types. You can also use the large public bath at the neighboring Hotel Shidodaira, which is a sister hotel. I didn't go, but my husband said that the sauna in the public bath there was good. Many of the staff were young and everyone was very nice. The wording is in the past tense and I felt a sense of incongruity at first, but it seems to be a dialect of Iwate. Hot springs, meals, very satisfying ryokan.

I have found my perfect onsen. It might be farther than I used to go for an Onsen , three hours instead of an hour's travel but after being made to wear a skirt to be able to use my old onsen, this place is worth it. Besides, the food is much much better. I might have missed something when I booked on the internet, but I was given a smoking room .I had to leave the window open for a while to clear out the smell. Apart from that, the room was big ,clean , has a bath and a toilet. When I step out to the corridor,  a Japanese lady introduced herself to me, her name is Mami ,saying she will be looking after my room , putting out my bed ( mattress on the floor the Japanese way ) serving me dinner. I stayed two nights, the first dinner was a bit of a struggle for her as she tried her best to explain what I was eating, it was a Kaiseiki dinner of about 10 courses. She explained every one of them, including each ingredient. The second night was a different story. She had every course written out and explained every thing proficiently.   Bless her heart. I am an old man of 75 and this young lady tried so hard to look after me. I am touched by her efforts . I dropped my chopstick once an I can hear quick shuffle of feet, and a new pair of chopsticks was in my hand. Osawa Onsen Sansuikagu was to my mind,extremely good, not ten out of ten, but a nine point eight out of ten. Some food, grilled fish , was a bit cold when it should have been hot. There is only salt , no pepper on the table for breakfast, but then again the cuisine is Japanese, not European, not some dried scrambled eggs. The main outdoor Osawa Onsen was the main feature of the hotel.  There were 4 or five other onsens in the hotel , some more beautiful and exquisite than others but the most famous one, Osawa Onsen,  stood out. It's  a mixed onsen which singles, families, couples , foreigners, young and old can enjoy.. in the nude.  I had a great time..very very impressed . Getting there is super easy ( I think.) I go to JR Ticket Office available at many train stations. I got shinkansen train tickets departing from Ueno Station ( to me Ueno station is not as big and less busy than Tokyo Station.)   Yamabiko 59 train , departing 11.42 am. to arrive at  Shin Hanamaki station at 14.41 pm. Once arrived , go to information office and they will tell you to walk outside to free bus stop number 2 . At 3.10 pm. the free bus will come to pick you up to Osawa Onsen. Ask before you get off the bus. It might stop at other onsens along the way. Get also the return ticket , Yamabiko 60. Free bus leaves Osawa at 10.50 a m. Train leaves Shin Hanamaki at 12.20 and arrive at Ueno at 15.18 pm. Enjoy your trip.

I heard that the quality of the hot springs at Dai Onsen, which I hadn't visited yet, was good, but that was true. I stayed in a room with a bath that flows directly from the source, so I was very happy to be able to enter many times until the check-out time at 11:00. The skin has become smooth. I enjoyed my meal in a private room both morning and evening. I think the quality and quantity were good. This time I was able to relax without meeting other customers. Recommended for those who want to stay like this.

1. Despite the language barrier, the accommodation staff was still very patient in explaining. Although this is something that everyone thinks is very basic, the service staff at another accommodation location the next day did not have this attitude, so the accommodation staff were more willing to be patient. Communicating with us is still something worth thanking. 2. The restaurant staff also greeted us warmly. As long as the waiter sees that we may have questions, he will immediately come over to ask and help solve the problem. 3. Lunch and dinner buffet It's great to stay at this price with hot springs, accommodation and food, and you can use the hot springs in the three buildings. The environment is large and comfortable. It's really worth it.
