3-Star Hotels in Iwate Prefecture, Japan

A 10-minute walk from Morioka Station, it's not super close, but the price is great. They offer coffee and tea, which is a nice touch. Plus, there's a Chinese-speaking staff member at the front desk. I'd recommend staying here!

This Toyoko Inn is a bit far from JR Morioka Station, requiring a walk through an underpass, so it's not the most convenient. Unlike other Toyoko Inns, there are no welcome drinks or ramen offered in the evenings. Breakfast is also very standard, and the rooms are quite small. Overall, it's an average experience.

This hotel is really out-of-the-way; I'd recommend driving. It's mainly a place to go if you want to ski, as it's by a ski resort. I found the area to be very quiet. The hotel food was excellent, though you'll need some level of Japanese proficiency to effectively communicate with the staff. You can enjoy a bath in your room, or the hot springs downstairs. Overall quite nice, the rooms have a cottage feel.

My friend booked the other Toyoko Inn near Morioka Eki and I only found out after trying to check-in. Luckily the two hotels are quite close to each other. The location was great, just a few minute walk from the JR station so I was able to pack my snowboard and walked to the station myself. Breakfast was included. Variety was little but the menu changed everyday. Room was bigger than I thought. I booked a single room but it came with a double bed. I had my snowboard luggage laid out and still quite some space to walk around in the room. The clam broth serving at night time was extraordinary good!

Would definitely stay again! Location: Right next to the station, and the bus stop for Kagura Ski Resort is right outside the door. Environment: Clean and the bed was comfortable. Amenities: They have a large public bath, and self-service luggage storage after check-out. Value: Great value for money, no complaints so far!

Good location and near to the airport. I would say it is a very practical hotel to stay over while waiting for flight. It meet all the needs, have a bath house vending machine,washing machine etc... Breakfast was also pretty good. Taxi to airport was less than 10 mintutes and about 1100Yen. Can't really hear any planes flying so can sleep peacefully as well. Hotel Staff was also helpful in booking Taxi for me. Have a 7 eleven nearby.

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.

Very good hotel, just take a bus or taxi from the station, 20 minutes walk, close to attractions and busy streets, suitable for visiting Morioka Castle, the price is also very cheap

The hotel is located in a rather remote area, and the parking lot was full when we arrived, so we had to use the paid parking lot. The rooms are spacious and can accommodate luggage. The public bath is open until 2 a.m., which is convenient.

The hotel nestled in the middle of Iwate and Akita Japan with an amazing sceneries of mountain. The accomodati on is super comfortable with an amazing view of trees and mountains covered in snow. The other highlight of this place is the culinary experience this place got to offer the course dinner and breakfast that uses locally sourced ingredients from both Akita and Iwate prefecture and the presentation of the cuisine that brings out the quality and the stories of the place. Overall an extraordinary experience and worth a trip of its own.
