Great Location

Reviewed By Freedomtrail

We stayed here during the ski season in February. Pros – Free shuttle from the train station, friendly staff, easy access to the ski area and lifts, clean room. Cons – Everything is spread out, so a lot of walking. The breakfast buffet is very simple, nothing fancy. We also heard a low “dinging” sound in our bedroom, especially at night. We mentioned this to the staff and they said “No, there is no sound coming from that floor.” Excuse me? Heard it every night and brought it up to the staff again and they said “We will look into it.” Still haven’t heard back from them.

Sterile, tucked away

Reviewed By Rabindra1972

Came here with the family and in-laws for a few days end of July. It's tucked away so you will definitely need a car to move around. End of July means many insects even when the weather is abnormally cool for this period. Breakfast is pretty much the same thing everyday if you are going for Western food. Onsen was ok.

Kajitsu no Mori

静かで落ち着ける空間の広い宿。

Reviewed By Maps804421

今回の温泉旅も岩手県。メンバーは相変わらずの母と姉夫婦で4人。一ノ関の街から車で20分くらいのなんも無い山の中の静かな場所。 建物は3階建てでとても綺麗な内装でした。 それでも3月の地震で至る所に被害を受けたみたいで残念です。 部屋は2階の檜風呂の有る部屋。1階はそれに+露天風呂もあるみたい。それでも驚く程満足のいく広い空間と綺麗な部屋。 4人で利用してもゆったりと過ごせました。 部屋の掛け流しの天然温泉の檜風呂も満足。私は部屋で3回、大浴場で2回風呂を楽しみました。 夕飯はちょっと高級感の有るディナー形式の創作料理。美味しいものを少しずつみたいな。これまでの温泉宿とは違った雰囲気。美味かったけどボリューム的にちょっと物足りない感じは家族全員あったのが残念。 夕飯の後は隣りの山桜桃の湯の演劇場で開催された劇団のショーを観てきました。これが予想外に面白い。高齢の母も大絶賛! 朝食は満足できるバイキングで皆食べ過ぎ。 心ゆくまで楽しんだ温泉旅でした。実家から1時間程の距離なのでまた利用したい、良き宿です。

期待以上の温泉

Reviewed By BackPacker805720

朝食付きで値ごろ感あったので、スキーのために宿泊。 決して豪華な作りの宿ではないけれど、改装済みの和室、露天付き温泉♨️ 朝食も美味しい和定食。 特に露天温泉が期待していなかった分、とてもいい温泉に感じました。

Hanamaki Onsen Hotel Hanamaki

Hotel

3 in 1

Reviewed By ZenDark30

Confusing at first because this hotel is one of a trio connected by a walkway. They all begin with the name Hanamaki Onsen which makes our hotel name redundant. After checking in we wandered around all three hotels and scoped out the restaurants and onsens. Our favorites were the onsens with the outdoor baths. We arrived about 1:15 and after checking in we asked about lunch. Apparently they stop serving at 1:30 and close at 2. The receptionist called the restaurant and asked but we were 5 minutes too late. Hungry and held captive by our locale we went to the nearby coffee shop and grabbed a sandwich. This held us until dinner. We opted for the package of a Japanese style room, dinner and breakfast. The room was comfortable and separated by a shoji screen and a small western style table and two chairs. The bathroom is small but with the onsen it doesn’t need to be anything more than functional. There’s also the typical amenities of fridge, hot water pot, safe, slippers and robe for the onsen. The buffet meals are delicious with lots of choices from giant crab legs to fresh melon and from beef tenderloin to scallops mornay. They had personal sterno burners for crab and rice and seafood on a scallop shell. You can let it cook while you fill your plate. With hundreds of rooms, the location caters to weddings and conventions with accouterments for the former including a wardrobe of gowns and tuxedos. There’s even a chapel and outdoor area for hosting special events. As an English only speaking foreigner communication can be sketchy and all Japanese maps are limited without Google translator. Choose this if you enjoy an all inclusive experience and onsens. The surrounding area has a tranquility that is contagious. Don’t be bashful about wearing the kimono around—everyone else does. They even have bands for wrapping the wide sleeves so you don’t accidentally dip them into your ramen. Enjoy a walk to the waterfalls and neighborhood.

Good onsen stay

Reviewed By Bobcrankypants

There were two sets of onsens on two different floors and they both had decent size indoor and outdoor baths, though I was there at an offpeak period and they might've been quite packed otherwise. The Japanese-style room was a good size and clean. I got dinner and breakfast with my stay. Dinner - a set course meal - was excellent. Breakfast was buffet-style and in a large hall and wasn't exceptional. There is a shuttle bus to and fro Morioka Station.

Quiet Get-Away Outside of Hanamaki

Reviewed By 36brendenp

12 years ago, my wife and I had our wedding at Watari Onsen & on 9/13, we returned for a 1-night stay. Our room was small, but the onsen space was huge. I loved the outdoor pool and bubbling hot pool inside. The hotel was quiet and it was easy to relax at. There was a shuttle bus that picked up at Hanamaki train station and there is a city bus stop 6-7 minute walk away if you want to go back into town. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. Unfortunately, they provided us with an incorrect bus time back into Hanamaki, so they arranged for a hotel van to take us into the city for the festival. The breakfast was buffet style breakfast with typical Japanese fare. Strong recommend.
