A purely Japanese-style Ryokan in sukiya-zukuri architecture, nestled in Morioka’s secluded inner retreat.
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, the Michinoku road, a traditional Japanese Ryokan. We offer various meticulously designed plans for each season. Please visit Shikitei at Tsunagi Onsen, Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, where you can enjoy the beauty of Japan's seasons.
This was my second stay after visiting in January. It’s a small Accommodation, but the service, meals, and Onsen are all above average. Some Rooms seem to have an open-air bath, but even without one, the public bath is not crowded and you can relax. The spring water has a faint sulfur scent but isn’t too strong—perfect for me. It’s an Accommodation that makes you want to come back.
It was a truly wonderful Accommodation. The Room, meals, Onsen, and service were all excellent. I would love to stay here again if I have the chance. The meals in particular were very delicious.
