An Accommodation where every guest room offers lake views of Mt. Iwate and Gosho Lake

Enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Gosho and the mountains of Iwate from your room, offering picturesque seasonal landscapes that resemble a painting. The Onsen features two distinct large baths: "Hitorijime no Yu," an open-air bath with stunning panoramic views, and "Nanbu Magariya no Yu," a traditional hot spring inspired by the Nanbu Magariya architecture with natural flowing spring water. Relax in these unique Onsen settings or enjoy a private open-air bath for quality time with family or friends. At night, the garden transforms into the enchanting "NIGHT ARTS GARDEN" with magical illuminations accompanied by Hotel Shion's original music, creating a completely different charm from daytime. Savor dishes made from fresh seafood sourced from Sanriku waters, premium beef raised on the fertile lands of Kitakami and Oshu, and mountain delicacies. Our cuisine highlights seasonal ingredients and local flavors to provide you with an unforgettable dining experience.

  • As I was traveling without a car, easy access from the station was essential. The deciding factors for my stay at this Hotel were the shuttle bus service and the excellent Reviews of the Onsen. My Room was on a high floor with a great view, and I was truly impressed by the scenery from the window! The free-flowing natural hot spring water was also wonderful. Dinner was kaiseki plus a half buffet, and they kindly accommodated changes for ingredients I can’t eat. I honestly didn’t expect much from the Sansa Odori show, but it was thoughtfully put together—and I ended up completely captivated. It was fantastic. I even bought a Sansa Odori tenugui towel in town... One disappointing point: I don’t think the steam sauna was turned on. Please check!
