4-Star Hotels in Iwate Prefecture, Japan

The room size is quite spacious for Japan; there's plenty of room for two 20-inch suitcases. Free toiletries are available on the first floor, including bath salts, face masks, facial cleanser, and lotion samples. The room also comes with a comfortable yukata. Breakfast is very generous, featuring local specialty Kougen milk (the hard-to-find glass bottle version), and the hotel's homemade grape-flavored milk jam is also worth a try. The hotel is connected to a convenience store on the first floor, and you can enter the hotel from Lawson using your room card (especially convenient on snowy days as the road facing the hotel's main entrance is less accessible than the convenience store's entrance). It's right opposite Morioka Station, and you can walk to Kaiun Bridge in a few minutes. From Kaiun Bridge, you get a superb view of Mount Iwate.

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!!!!

This is a highly recommended and convenient hotel right in Morioka. The location is perfect: it's situated directly across from the train station, easily accessible via the underground walkway. It's also near Kaiunbashi, one of Morioka's signature spots, offering a great scenic view. For ultimate convenience, there's a 7-Eleven located right on the ground floor of the hotel. Beyond the location, the staff are very nice and incredibly helpful. The lobby provides an impressive array of amenities, more generous than many hotels I've visited. The room size is comfortable, and the bathroom is spacious, meeting the excellent standards of the Daiwa Roynet brand.

Overall very good place but a little difficult to find without maps because the sign on the front is not very big nor well lit. also the main entrance is not where you expect it but below ground level.

The check-in staff introduced the hotel attentively and cleaned the room attentively. The ski rental staff are very patient.  But the quality of the food in the restaurant is average, and all the shrimps in the seafood are rotten. And some of the waiters are not polite to the guests. 

I had visited Momijikan on a day trip to the onsen before and loved it. This time, my boyfriend and I booked a great value room (randomly assigned) and were given a tatami room. We got up early to see the sunrise over the snow-covered ground – the view was beautiful. We asked the front desk to book a shuttle bus for the next day the night before, so we could go directly to JR Hanamaki Station after check-out – very convenient. The breakfast selection was extensive and delicious – I highly recommend choosing a hotel with breakfast included when booking!

The hotel's location is excellent, just a 3-minute walk to Kaiun Bridge. Parking is mechanical and costs 1100 JPY per day. The in-room toiletries are from DHC, which is a nice touch! What truly stands out, however, is the hotel's breakfast on the top floor. The view is absolutely stunning, with clear sights of Mount Iwate. The restaurant staff are incredibly energetic and friendly – they truly deserve praise! The cleaning staff were also very polite.

The room was generally the same, the three baths were good, and the water quality was very soft and slippery. Dinner is too general, breakfast is OK. The shuttle bus runs every day, too few. There is nothing to visit around.

We had a pleasant stay in general. However, room ceaning service needs to be improved. Our group of people have a few bad experiences. 1) after returning to room after the day, there was a used mask left in the bathroom. There’s also a day without providing onsen towels and we had to bring over the mid size ones 2) the door of my friend’s room remained open after the cleaning service (a 3M sticker with なすし2 sticked on wall). Glad there’s no missing items 3) another room, there was blood and urine stint left on the toilet cover! I hope the hotel can take it seriously as it indeed ruins the brand of IHG and bad customer experience.

I used this hotel for my wedding some time ago. The rooms were spacious and the location was convenient, which was a great help. I would like to use it again.
