It was my first time staying in a Japanese hot spring hotel and I had dinner in my room. There are many kinds of food, the rice at the end is special but I can't eat it anymore, the hot spring has indoor and outdoor. It's big, has a great view and a sauna. There are many styles of shower gel and shampoo to choose from. The breakfast was also great. The room is big and the view outside the window is beautiful. There is also a massage chair to relax your back.
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.
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!
The hotel staff are very warm, polite and attentive. Very satisfied! The room I booked includes a semi-open-air bath, which is a great environment. The room was also cleaned very well. Breakfast and dinner were also very rich and delicious. Highly recommended!!!!
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.
The stay was smooth, we arrived at 7:30 in the evening, one berth and two meals, the food was rich and delicious, there was no more reassuring and satisfying than the dining at the accommodation, and the family said it was good.
This hotel chain features night ramen service, which is delicious.
After taking a bath, Meimei sleeps, Japanese-style relaxation holiday style, I like 😘
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!
Appi 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.
The hotel facilities are new and very clean. The room is very large, with a small living room and a large window looking out at the scenery. There is a private bath in the room, which is convenient and comfortable. The dinner was delicious, but the only drawback was that there was no replenishment of food in the buffet breakfast. We made a last reservation, but many of the food plates were already empty! Even so, the hotel overall is great and I will come back again.
The room was great, especially the indoor bath, the service staff was very good, it was worth coming again

GGuest UserThe location is beautiful and the views from the car park assured us we had chosen well. Check in was helpful and all facilities were fully explained at this time, allowing us to book our dining time.
The room was comfortable and traditional; the view, amazing! With an afternoon of sunshine, time was taken to enjoy the view in a temperature controlled setting. There was a beautiful tea set and tea provided along with some complementary snacks and water. The toiletries provided were lovely and I shall certainly be looking to purchase these for my home.
Dinner was a Chinese style buffet, with an excellent selection of dishes. Barbecues for the table and delicious sashimi and hand prepared sushi. Soups, stews, salad and more! To follow was an assortment of cakes and ice creams. Staff were very helpful and polite and the food was filling and delicious. We then retired to the hotel bar where we were again greeted by a lovely member of staff.
Upon return to our room, futons had been prepared and the room made ready for sleep. These were surprisingly comfortable.
Breakfast was also delicious with a huge array of dishes to choose from. Check out was simple and staff were helpful and polite.
I will definitely be returning!

YYang Yang WuThis accommodation is perfect for skiing beginners, and the ski passes are very affordable! Equipment rentals are available right next door – ski-in/ski-out is super convenient! The breakfast is delicious, and there's even a hot spring! ♨️

GGuest UserThe 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.
GGuest UserGreat location for hikers on the Michinoku Coastal Trail. We booked the stay with dinner and breakfast, and the dinner was an outstanding multi-course kaiseki style meal. The onsen is a great relief after a hard day of hiking too.
JJovaWe chose to stay at this hotel because we were going to Appi Plateau for skiing. It only takes about half an hour to drive there, which is very convenient.
The hotel is much larger than expected, the staff is very friendly, the most surprising thing is the hot spring, the open-air bath is super comfortable, a lot of skin care products are provided.
Free coffee and soda are provided in the lobby, which is very generous. There are also two free bottles of water in the room refrigerator every day.
The room rate includes one night and two meals. Breakfast is a buffet and dinner is a Japanese kaiseki cuisine, which is very delicious.
PPak Ming ChanSpecial mention
The full name of the hotel is Yamanokami Onsen Villa Seiryukan (SeRyuKan)
The reason for this is that Yamanokami Onsen has 3 hot spring facilities:
The ordinary Japanese hot spring hotel Yamanokami Onsen YukaYin
The daytime hot spring hotel Nagomi
The last one is Villa Seiryukan
Take the right exit from the west exit of Shin-Hanamaki Station on the Shinkansen Line. There will be a free hot spring shuttle bus, which will depart from Platform 2 at 15:10, 16:10 and 17:10 respectively. The driver will hold a sign and ask you which hotel you are going to. Just point to Seiryukan.
At other times, you must take a taxi to the hotel, and the standard fare is less than 8,000 yen.
The shuttle bus will take passengers to Yuxiangyuan, where they will wait for the staff to arrange for them to take a minivan to the Qingliu-kan lobby on the other side to complete the check-in procedures.
When checking out, the free shuttle bus will arrive in front of Yuxiangyuan at 10:00 am or before. Guests need to check out from Qingliu-kan before 9:30 am and take a minivan to Yuxiangyuan to wait for the bus.
The bus arrives at Shin-Hanamaki Station at around 10:45. Please be sure to pay attention to the Shinkansen and airport arrival times. For example, it is impossible to catch the 10:20 Shinkansen back to Tokyo, but the Shinkansen only stops at Shin-Hanamaki Station once an hour.
The hotel's dining time starts at 6pm and breakfast starts at 7am. Whether dining at Qingliukan or Youxiangyuan, you need to make a reservation one day in advance with the help of Qingliukan staff, and they will inform you of the relevant fees. If you choose to stay overnight without breakfast or dinner, please be aware that among the three hot spring hotels, only the reception of Yukaen provides microwave fried rice and pasta, which costs 800 yen per serving.

PPauline YenThe quality of the open-air bath here is quite good, we like it very much 💕 Although the hotel building feels old-fashioned, it is well maintained. The room we stayed in should have been built later and is a bit far away from the large bathing area. We can just enjoy the exhibitions of the hotel and artists. Paintings and beautiful scenery along the way 👍
