Tsunagi Onsen × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan

The open-air bath is surrounded by a grove of trees, offering a relaxing space that instantly lets you escape the everyday. Satisfaction was on a completely different level from any open-air bath I’ve visited before—helped, perhaps, by having it all to myself on a weekday. The meals were delicious, made with local ingredients and naturally seasoned—another highlight. The staff provided pleasant service, making genuine eye contact and attentive conversation. I’d love to visit again.

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!

We stayed with my uncle and aunt and enjoyed a great deal with the Iwate discount. It was our first visit in two years. The interior had been updated beautifully, and we enjoyed the welcome drink. There was a wide variety of food. We savored Iwate’s three famous noodle dishes from the morning, and the selection of sweets was excellent as well. The Onsen offered not only a large public bath but also a Jomon-style bath. My husband was especially delighted with the free karaoke. We were very happy to spend such an enjoyable time together as a group of four. Thank you very much. We would love to visit again.

We stayed for a two-night trip. Each Room has a large rock bath, and we enjoyed the wonderful view overlooking Lake Gosho while soaking—truly living up to the name “Kaikei.” On clear days, you can also see Mt. Iwate beautifully, but unfortunately it was cloudy all three days, so we’d like to come back again next time.

You can fully enjoy Tsunagi Onsen. It’s not large, but you can experience piping-hot free-flowing Onsen water almost privately. The meals are filling too, with sashimi and steak. We also appreciated the owner’s friendly hospitality. This is an Accommodation we would definitely like to stay at again.

I think the Facility is kept very clean. The Rooms are simple and minimal, but more than enough for sleeping. I did feel that amenities like makeup remover or hair ties would be nice to have. The service is very polite. Perhaps because it’s a Ryokan with only a few Rooms, it seems the staff is also a small team working hard—but it never feels like they cut corners at all! The Onsen was excellent as well! The water temperature was just right. Like others have mentioned in their Reviews, the food is amazing. It’s more than enough for one person—I went to bed completely full. Breakfast was also plentiful, and everything was delicious. I think this is a hidden-gem Ryokan in Uguisuyado Onsen!

Overall, we had a very satisfying stay. A clean property, a buffet, and a large bath! We enjoyed our reserved table tennis, and afterward you kindly extended our karaoke time by an extra 30 minutes. Thanks to the thoughtful hospitality of the Hotel staff, my children in their second year of working life were able to forget their daily stress and smile more. Thank you for a truly wonderful day.

I stayed here when I traveled alone to Morioka to see the cherry blossoms. The building is a bit old, but it was kept very clean, and the Room had been renovated and was comfortable. I can’t eat a lot, so I chose a plan with smaller portions at a lower price. The amount was just right, and I finished everything. The food was delicious. The view from the Room was amazing.

The Room was spacious, and the bathtub made it easy to relax. There is also a convenience store across the street, which was very convenient.
