3-Star Hotels in Iwate Prefecture, Japan

It was much cheaper than travel arrangement services in Japan, so I made a reservation through this site, which I usually use when traveling abroad. I usually use hotels within the prefecture when I use Hokans, but I have used this one far more often, and this was my fourth time. The selling points of this hotel are its ”good location” and ”high quality breakfast.” Although it is located in the middle of a main street in the downtown area, it is close to the station, and there are convenience stores, supermarkets, and parking lots nearby. The breakfast is a typical buffet style, but all four types of curry are delicious, and the use of locally produced ingredients such as yogurt, hittsumi soup, and hitomebore white rice is a great point, and combined with the high cost performance, it is worth noting. There is no denying that the facilities are old, but they are not unpleasant and I would say that the quality and service are sufficient. I hope that they will continue to manage this good value for money and high quality.

โรงแรมอยู่บริเวณเดียวกับโรงพยาบาลมหาวิทยาลัย ดูเหมือนจะใช้พื้นที่จอดรถร่วมกันได้ ใกล้ๆ โรงแรมพอมีร้านอาหารอยู่บ้างแต่ไม่เยอะ เราซื้ออาหารจากร้านสะดวกซื้อมาทาน มีไมโครเวฟให้ใช้ มีน้ำแข็งให้ทาน ไม่มีตะเกียบก็ไปขอพนักงานมาได้ ห้องพักสะอาดเรียบร้อย มีโต๊ะเหมาะกับการทานอาหาร มีพื้นที่มากพอเปิดกระเปิดเดินทางใบใหญ่ได้ เตียงนอนอุ่นสบาย ทีวีปรับหมุนซ้ายขวาได้ด้วย(แต่ไม่รู้จะหมุนทำไม)

The hotel is about 7 minutes' walk from the subway. There is a convenience store downstairs, which is very convenient. The hotel provides free breakfast and dinner, which is very good. The room is of average size. The sofa bed can be put down to spread out two suitcases.

The station location is very good, very close to Morioka Station, and there are many choices of restaurants nearby. The front desk staff had a very good service attitude. Since there was still some time before check-in, we stored our luggage and they also greeted us politely. There is no large shopping mall nearby, but luckily I found Daiso, which is a place to spend money. After checking in, the room is quite large and tidy. If you need supplies, you can get them in the lobby, but I always bring my own to avoid waste. Overall it's very convenient.

一年一度嘅滑雪假期，今次選址安比高原。由於雪場嘅酒店價錢較貴，所以搵咗附近一間有溫泉嘅酒店試吓。酒店會安排喺JR嘅接送服務免費，職員有禮貌，又幫得手，讚！ 住宿包兩餐，早餐每日都係一樣嘅set加少量自助形式嘅食物提供。而晚餐就係shabu shabu，炭燒牛，同埋壽喜燒輪流替換。牛肉係田澤牛，個人認為肉質唔算10分出色，但係可以接受。 酒店內有溫泉，有兩間私人風呂，配套唔錯。唯一較為唔理想嘅地方就係位置較遠，如果唔係自己揸車嘅話，就要由酒店安排嘅接駁車去雪場。 同埋每日嘅早餐時間，晚餐時間，接駁車時間需要提早預備安排，所以唔能夠好自由輕鬆咁樣去每日決定幾點食飯幾點去雪場幾點返。

The building itself is old, so I think there are some things that can't be helped, but I was concerned about the mold in the bathroom and the peeling wallpaper. The man at the reception had a very nice smile. However, the cost performance is excellent, so I will continue to use it.

The room was a good size for one person with comfortable small double bed. It's very clean and the staff are wonderful, especially at breakfast. The breakfast is delicious with Iwate ingredients and def worth more than the 1000 yen were paying.

There are fewer hotels in Pingquan City itself. This is a quite retro and Showa-era hotel. Although the appearance is inconspicuous, the service, meals, interiors, etc. have not changed with the past of the times. The only downside is that Pingquan City itself is inconvenient for transportation, so if the hotel will be a little farther away in a tired situation (about 15 minutes), maybe you can contact the hotel to meet you? However, from the hotel to the station, the hotel has a special car transfer, which is very commendable.

We traveled as a group of 4, booked two twin-bed room. The hotel is very conveniently located near Ichinoseki train station, which fits our journey very well as a overnight over location. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Room size while not too spacious, has essentially everything we need for a clean, safe and nice place ro rest overnight.

The place I've been longing to visit is finally here! Opposite the hotel is the famous cherry blossom viewing spot Kitakami Tenshochi, and the hotel room can see the beautiful scenery of the cherry blossom forest opposite! The hotel is a bit old, but the price is very cost-effective during the cherry blossom season
