Hot Springs Hotels in Iwate Prefecture, Japan

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.

The hotel has a beautiful environment, close to another attraction, Yanmeixi, and the location is very good. The hotel's dinner, supper and breakfast are also delicious. The hotel's hot spring facilities are also appropriate, and frozen desserts are also arranged for passengers who have soaked in the hot springs. Massage chairs are also arranged next to the hot springs, which is very intimate. Only the receptionist did not inform the hot spring that there is no towel, passengers need to use the towel in the room to the hot spring.

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).

About 5 minutes drive from the snow field~ The service staff are very kind Inform the service staff of the time to leave and return, they will be ready for free pick-up and drop-off The hot spring is great~ There are public and independent soup houses (independent soup houses need to be registered according to the use of the day, and luck is almost available) The bathhouse contains (face wash, makeup remover, lotion, lotion, hair maintenance fluids all provide very good products, and they are also very clean and tidy) The restaurant food is also very delicious (reservation 2 days ago) Approximately USD 4500/person Stayed here for 8 days and really felt at home Very recommended for friends who come to Ambi ski to experience this accommodation CP value is super high! !

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

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! 🥳

Superb onsen hotel. We took sea view and it was superb with a small balcony. Room are very confortable and big. Onsen was excellent with an outside bath looking at the bay. We had dinner also and it was 5 star. Staff were super helpful (front desk, restaurant etc)

Stunning location! Walked into the lobby and was floored by panoramic views of the cape. The hotel isn't modern or new, but it's well-maintained. Stayed in the tatami room and it's extremely spacious. Opt for the dinner buffet as there aren't lots of dining options unless you drive. Breakfast was full of Western and Japanese options. Oiishi!

Unexpected accommodation. The room is very big. After entering the hotel, you have to take off your shoes and wear socks at all times. The service staff will also help clean the luggage wheels. There are 3 types of outdoor hot spring pools and you can see many stars.
