Highly recommended
Quicke check in, check out
Public hot springs bathhouse is a very big plus.
This one is real hot springs water not just a big hot bathtub.
Good location everything is in walking distance
Comfortable stay
How do I describe this hotel? In one word: amazing. It was my first time experiencing a mixed-gender bath from over a century ago. I was truly impressed! The elderly gentlemen were just casually strolling around without a care in the world. Families, you absolutely must try the mixed-gender outdoor hot spring bath. It's located in the old wing of the hotel, a bit of a walk from the new wing, but once you're in the hotel, just grab a map and you'll find it. You can also take the opportunity to peek into the rooms and dining hall of this century-old ryokan. As for the room, it goes without saying that upon entering, you're greeted with a flood of green, which was quite a pleasant surprise. The only minor point is that the Hozawa River was a bit murky. I drove upstream along the river, and soon lost cell service, so it is quite remote, but definitely worth a visit. The two meals were decent, nothing spectacular but perfectly acceptable.
This hotel is perfect for family ski trips. The facilities are excellent, and it's very convenient for skiing. Both breakfast and dinner offer a great variety of food. The shuttle bus to the station is also very handy. Remember to book your ski rentals in advance, and there's a dedicated storage area for your gear.
For this price, there's absolutely nothing to complain about! 👍🏼👍🏼 The room was spotless and the view was incredible, looking right out at Mount Iwate 🥰. The food was also fantastic and very filling 🤣🤣. Overall, it was really great value for money! 🥳
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.
The best ski in and ski out and Onsen hotel in Japan so far!
We loved the hotel so much in Oct 2025 so we rebooked and came again from Dec 20-24, 2025.
1. Very convenient for ski experience. Ski in and ski out. Ski rental and ski coach school are just besides hotel. Good experience for rentals and coaches hiring.
2. Breakfast and dinner buffets are great and so yummy! The food does change every night to give you diversified variation to choose from. Very delicate food preparations by great chefs so don’t worry you will never get bored.
3. Onsen is also great great great! Great view and women and men get alternate the hot spring pool everyday.
4. First floor relaxing area is great great! You have self service bar of juice / soda / coffee and popsicles.
5. The hotel staffs are so nice and make you feel at home. Motoyo-San is extremely friendly and her English is so fluent!!! We were very lucky to have her help out during our stay.
6. 3rd floor is newly renovated so pls try this beautiful room next time!
Highly recommend!!!! Great for family and couple trips!
The service is outstanding since my first step into the hotel. The room is big like i can run around. Breakfast is great. Plenty of good food served as japanese set. Onsen is really comfortable. I went there in summer that there were not many tourists. So sometime, there was only me in the onsen. It was very quiet peaceful and relaxing
A mark for those who books for dinner excluded bundle. There are rarely any restaurant around. There is one in front of the street corner (5mins walk) but the opening time and date could not be expected. You can find something to eat from Family mart (20 mins walk).
Hotel by the sea has a nice view and clean and comfortable rooms with a bit of space for suitcases. The breakfast has a good range of food and was tasty. It was a little way from restaurants if you didn’t book in there for dinner, but overall a good experience.
An interesting secluded place, for those who do not have personal transport, it is necessary to take into account that from Ichinoseki station you can only get there by taxi. The rooms are large, separate bath. Suitable for a rest without fuss. Inside the hotel you need to walk without shoes.

The location is good for the family ski holiday with all facilities available for this ski-in/ski-out hotel. The breakfast has a good variety while the dinner options are good especially the Teppanyaki restaurant with the local beef and abalone. The Japanese restaurant was also good with various dishes to choose from. The outdoor onsen at 白樺之湯 really worth the visit after the ski and I’d recommend to enjoy at day time. We have also tried the hotel massage services and it was really good and relaxing! The only thing for improvement is that the room themselves are a bit old and maybe should consider renovations in coming years. The shops have many food and drinks and souvenirs. We also got a big pack of fireworks that we can pay together with kids just outside the hotel on the snow slope. Overall we enjoyed the stay and the slopes and ski school are magnificent!
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.
Lovely and helpful staff. Enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the onsen every night. The food was really good too. Every day different new discoveries.
GGuest UserI am a US traveler on business. I have visited Kashoen before and based on my experiences it is the only hotel I will ever stay at in Hanamaki. The hotel staff are the kindest, most caring, and passionate people I have met at a hotel. The amenities are fantastic, the hotel food is phenomenal, and my stay is always relaxing. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. There is a nice nature trail nearby with a river that is beautiful as well. If you are in Hanamaki or are looking for somewhere to enjoy a peaceful weekend at, I suggest Kashoen.
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.
The location is a little bit remote but that’s onsen hotel which gives you a serene atmosphere. It is a traditional hotel and is maintained in good condition. The staff is friendly and helpful. Free coffee and drinks round the clock. The dinner is good and exquisite. Have bus from Morioka station & ski area, but not so frequent. Have outdoor onsen. Highly recommend and good value for money
Value stay with good food and onsen. First room assigned was not the cleanest, but staff changed the room on request. Peaceful & scenic, ideal for a relaxing stay to enjoy the area. No stores nearby though.
