Hotels near Matsukawa Geothermal Power Plant, Hachimantai

The top-floor viewing platform has a 360-degree view of the surrounding mountainous city

In the context of a scientific event, I had the chance to stay one full week at the ANA Crowne Plaza Resort. In a few words, I will simply say that this place is amazing, and that I recommend it for a skiing stay in Appi. In terms of the hotel itself, I have found that the staff were friendly, helpful and professional, like it could be expected in Japan. They took care of all the little issues I had during my stay, promptly and without any discussion. I additionally appreciated the “eco-friendly programme” that is offered, in which coupons are provided in exchange of ”no-cleaning room days”. The amenities in the hotel (public baths, souvenir shops, ski rental station) are spot on to make the stay perfect. I would however like to mention that it could even be better with a bar that stays open late (at least until midnight), as this would have prevented me from having to go to the next hotel to get a drink with my colleague. Maybe the bar from the hotel was closed because of the time in the season? Concerning the room I got, it is spacious and comfortable, super clean, although furniture and facilities are a bit old-style. Renewing the bathroom material could be a good item to put on the hotel to-do list, as well as making the room a bit more soundproof and insulated. This would hence prevent cigarette smoke from entering into the room from the outside. Moreover, whereas the bed was very comfortable and allowed for a propre relaxation time after a busy day with work and skiing, I got awakened by the noisy engines of the snow groomers several times during my stay (which is annoying, especially at 5:00 AM). Therefore, I would rank my experience as an average one (neither particularly good nor bad).

This time I booked Arts Color, but I actually lived in the main building of the boss's other restaurant Life is Beautful( It should be called Beautiful Life~), the homestay is about10-15 minutes walk from Anbi Ski Resort & Bailu Hot Spring, not too far away, the key homestay dinner seems simple, but super delicious, there is a French restaurant standard, In the morning 8-9 o'clock & afternoon 16-17 there is a free welcome (Anbi Station or Anbi Ski Resort), B1 there is a loan cut wind, just like the size of Yangming Mountain's personal hot spring, but it is really relaxing to soak after skiing the snow. There is also a beautiful and atmospheric API House bread cafe opposite the hotel. There is a ROCKY BBQ restaurant next door. On this night in the countryside, such a store has been counted a lot, because there is really no nightlife here at this night. You can consider going to the Bailu Hot Spring for a soup (open until 23:00). This is a personal trip. The cost of one berth and two meals is NT2100/day. I think it is very good value, it is recommended, I hope that I can visit again not too long.

地點有點遠，但是環境非常清幽。 房間乾淨，床被也非常舒適，各種設施齊備 民宿主人非常友好客氣，非常好的體驗。

We stayed on a free tour of 2 nights and 3 days from a travel agency. It is a simple tour of Shinkansen and accommodation. Currently, a round-trip transfer from Morioka Station to the hotel, which costs 200 yen one way, was also included. However, when I took the transfer bus to Morioka City on the second day, it cost 200 yen one way. Since there is only one train departing from Morioka Station at 3:00 pm, if you want to play a little more, you will use the fixed-route bus, but in that case it was 630 yen from Morioka Station. This route bus takes about 35 minutes because it passes through AEON Mall and Morioka Tezukuri Village. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the end point of the connection hot spring to the hotel, but when you arrive, you will pick you up when you call. This is free. The entrance to the hotel is on the second floor, but there is a large lobby overlooking the Gosho Lake spreading in front of you. Here, although it stops by the season, Sansa Odori is held every night from 8:15 pm to 25 minutes. The preservation society changes daily, so the dance and drums are different, and you can enjoy it every night, which is very powerful. From 3 pm, you can enjoy coffee and tea, orange juice and ice candy as a welcome drink in the lobby. Ice is also a vendor, so I could use it for drinking in the room. The hot spring has a large communal bath three times, and it is good here, but the hot water of the southern bend house on the second floor was good. You can enjoy two types of hot water on a daily basis from 5 am to 10 pm. The architecture is also great. The meal was included in the tour, but it was very delicious unlike the two nights. Breakfast is a buffet, but there are many local dishes (hitsumi soup, Morioka soba, Jaja noodles, etc.). As for the guest rooms, all rooms have lake views, but it seems better to go upstairs. In a 12 tatami Japanese-style room, there are about 3 tatami mats by the window and a table space. There was an independent toilet and a large washbasin, and there was a room bath, but I didn't use it because there was a hot spring.

It is a convenient hotel directly connected to the station. I passed through the commercial facilities, but I arrived at the front desk when I went to the street because there was a sign. The room was simple because it was a single room, but there was a feeling of cleanliness, and there were amenities that needed, and I thought it was a good hotel in Cospa enough. I was personally grateful for the amenities for women at check-in (cleaning and cosmetics).

Is it about 3 minutes walk from the station? The first floor is 7-Eleven and each floor has a vending machine, which is great convenience. The room I used is a Kitakami River flowing under the eye and the heart is calm. The cleanliness, amenities and size were perfect. Breakfast was mainly Japanese with Viking, but this was enough. I always decided to eat Japanese food because it seems to be good when eating western food mainly, but it looks delicious. It's strange.

The rooms and lobby were clean and I was satisfied, but the floor in the breakfast room was sticky and there were dishes left unwashed, which made it feel unsanitary and the food tasted bad. Also, I was in trouble because there were no toiletries such as face wash and lotion for women.

As written in many reviews, the water quality of the hot spring was really good. Plenty of hot water was flowing, and I was satisfied with both the indoor and outdoor baths. Even after getting out of the hot spring, my body was warm and warm, and although it was a chilly day, I fell asleep comfortably. Although it was November, there were a few stink bugs in the room, but I wonder if it can't be helped because it's deep in the mountains... The room was old but clean. Both kamameshi and sukiyaki were delicious, but the seafood cheese fondue was rich and had kamameshi, but it was served like a risotto over white rice. I was satisfied with the volume as well. However, the ice cream and matcha mousse of the buffet style dessert was not good. Breakfast was quite crowded, so I was worried, but it seems that corona measures were taken, so I was relieved. I enjoyed both rice and croissants, and I ate too much because there was a wide variety. I was very grateful for the takeout coffee service.
