Hotels With WiFi in Iwate Prefecture, Japan

This was my first trip to Japan's Tohoku region. The Richmond Hotel Morioka is visible right after exiting the JR station. When traveling in Japan, I generally choose hotels near JR stations for their unparalleled convenience in dining, accommodation, transportation, and shopping. I'm especially pleased with the Richmond Morioka. The rooms are slightly larger than hotels in other cities, and the floor-to-ceiling windows make them feel bright and airy. The cleanliness and facilities were satisfactory, and the front desk staff provided excellent service. The check-in/check-out times were better than in other areas. The bedding was very comfortable, and the hotel's soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. If I visit the Tohoku region again, I'll definitely use Morioka as my base, and the Richmond will undoubtedly be my top choice.

The lady at the front desk was very enthusiastic and helped us by recommending attractions and nearby ski resorts. It was very convenient to get to the ski resort, and the place was clean and hygienic.

We were very satisfied with our stay! The hotel is conveniently located with great nearby amenities, and transportation is extremely accessible. The room was clean, tidy, and comfortable, with plenty of space and complete amenities, making it a very relaxing place to stay. The staff were friendly and professional, and we could truly feel their care and enthusiasm from check-in to check-out. Any questions or requests were handled promptly and efficiently. The overall environment was quiet and comfortable, allowing us to rest well. This is definitely a hotel we would love to return to and highly recommend to anyone visiting the area for travel or business.

Really fantastic location, and good sized room. We didn't get the breakfast, but be warned they had a sign up saying waits for breakfast could take up to 30 minutes during ”peak times” (like 7:30-9:00) which seemed kind of nuts. Also, we unfortunately didn't get super helpful information about the nearby onsens from the front desk staff (language barrier maybe!), so recommend looking up anything you want to do independently.

We were two people staying 3 nights. We had breakfast and we were very happy with it (6:30-10:00, L.O 9:30). It didn’t change much during the stay, but it had a lot of options and it tasted good. The room was small. If you have suitcase it will be hard to open it up. We didn’t have suitcases, so for us it was no problem. The bed and pillows were comfortable. They have a manga library and coffe machine (15:00-22:00), and space with tables and chairs where you can e.g eat. They have laundry as well (10:00-22:00). It was cheep (washing 400 yen 30 min, dryer 100 yen 10 min). It was a standing washing machine (which I don’t really like) and we had a lot of laundry, so we went to another coin laundry 1 min walk from the hotel, which was good (washing 15 kg 30 min 800 yen, drying 10 min 100 yen). We didn’t use room cleaning, but every day we got a bag of towels on our door knob. It is around 10-15 min walk to the station. But it’s close to shopping streets and Iwaki park. It has a lot of restaurants close by. If you like all-you-can-drink there’s a lot of options close by as well. After check out we left our baggage for a couple of hours. It was no problem. The people at the hotel were very nice and polite. Overall we had a very nice stay at this hotel.

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.

I was looking for a hotel for my trip to Morioka when I found out this hotel was opening that day, so I booked it right away. The lobby, guest rooms, and lounge were all beautiful, stylish, and wonderful. The large public bath had a sauna, which was very relaxing. The breakfast, which I had been looking forward to, was even more delicious than I expected, and I ate a lot. I definitely want to stay here again the next time I travel to Morioka.

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)

It's a bit far from the station. If you have big luggage, I recommend taking a taxi. There is a Starbucks downstairs and a restaurant in the hotel. Turn left and there is a shopping mall. It's old, but the overall maintenance is OK. The sanitation is clean and the front desk can communicate in basic English. It's not too far from Shenglouge, you can try it

The hotel boasts an excellent location and is very easy to find! The triple room we were given was also quite spacious. The cleanliness was top-notch, and all the amenities were well-appointed. The lobby staff were incredibly friendly and courteous, always with a smile. It truly made for a great stay!
