Around Mount Iwate × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

Thank you for taking care of us on our mountain trip. From our room we could see Mt. Iwate, and from the open-air bath we enjoyed views of Hachimantai, Mt. Chausu, Maemoriyama, and Nishimoriyama—the location was wonderful and truly relaxing. Every dish was delicious, lightly seasoned and easy to enjoy; the Iwate beef roast beef and the wild grape curry were especially outstanding. The staff were kind and attentive, and we could really feel their love for the hotel and their hospitality toward guests. We rated it 4 points because the lotion provided in the bath area wasn’t very good, and since the entrances to the men’s and women’s baths look the same, several people almost went into the wrong one.

It was a truly relaxing experience. The view from the room was spectacular. The bath was an open-air bath surrounded by the forest, offering a heavenly experience. You can enjoy different types of baths with unique atmospheres. At night, you can marvel at the star-filled sky. Meals featured an abundance of local ingredients from the prefecture, and drinks were reasonably priced. I had an amazing time and would love to visit this accommodation again. Iwate is vast, and there are still so many places I want to explore!

There was a complimentary drink service next to the front desk, and our children were very happy with it. The hotel also had plenty of kid-friendly facilities, such as a stamp rally and an arcade, which was really helpful. In particular, there was a great selection of books on the shelves, including many children’s books, which we appreciated. The meals also featured plenty of seasonal ingredients and were easy to enjoy. The hot spring bath area was spacious and convenient to use. We would definitely like to visit again.

I went with modest expectations because the dinner buffet offered all-you-can-eat crab, but it exceeded them. There were surprisingly large crab legs, pork and beef shabu-shabu, and teppanyaki. It also included all-you-can-drink beer and local sake, which delighted my wife, who loves both crab and drinks.\nThe Onsen was excellent. The Room was old, but the tatami mats had been replaced, so we stayed comfortably.\nI would love to visit again during the autumn foliage season.

I’m very satisfied that I was finally able to stay at Kyounso. Above all, I was able to enjoy the rich sulfur hot spring three times, and every meal was delicious—especially the char sashimi, which I don’t usually get to eat. I’d love to visit again. I regret returning home without properly expressing my gratitude to the staff.

This hotel offered a stunning view of Mt. Iwate. We stayed in a Corner Twin room, which was spacious and perfect for relaxing after our trip. The hot spring isn’t very large, but it was a pleasant surprise to find an infinity-style bath that blends seamlessly with the pond in the Japanese garden. Perhaps because it was the off-season, it was excellent value for money. Highly recommended in early autumn when the leaves begin to change and the air is crisp and clear.

We stayed here on an autumn foliage trip from Lake Tazawa toward Hachimantai. We had originally planned a day trip, but the location was convenient and the price was reasonable, so we decided to stay overnight. The international staff were kind and attentive, the sukiyaki dinner was delicious, and the breakfast offered a wide variety of dishes—we were very satisfied. It felt like we could stay for just the cost of meals and the hot spring bath, making it an excellent value. We would like to stay here again when traveling to the Hachimantai area.

This was my first stay here, and I was satisfied with everything. Since I came after Tamagawa Onsen, I was especially delighted with the meals. I had originally planned to stay two nights, but after watching YouTube, I felt the food there seemed to decline over time, so I changed my mind and canceled one night to try a designer Hotel in Osawa Onsen for a tuna-cutting show. However, I regretted it—it was too late afterward. This place is excellent. Thank you very much for your hospitality; it became a wonderful memory.
