The amenities, service, cleanliness, atmosphere, meals, and attentiveness—everything was perfect. We had a truly comfortable stay. If I had to mention one thing, I only wish there were a few more non-alcoholic options on the menu. This has become one of the Accommodations we’d love to return to.

Every year during the Obon homecoming season, my mother-in-law and I stay here. The Room, bath, and meals are excellent. However, the nighttime event (show) during Obon has been the same every year, so I would really like to see some different events offered. I look forward to staying again next year.

We stayed at Hotel Hanamaki while visiting Shohei Ohtani’s alma mater during our trip to visit family graves. We stayed for one night from June 24, and we were very happy with the excellent value for money. For dinner, we enjoyed crab, steak, tempura, and a customizable kama-meshi (I chose one loaded with crab). What impressed me most was breakfast—it was easily the best I’ve had among all the places I’ve stayed. There was delicious rice and a wide selection of both Japanese and Western dishes. Even at 65 years old, I was completely satisfied and even went back for seconds—especially for the freshly made omelet, grated yam (tororo), salted seafood (shiokara), mekabu seaweed, minced tuna (negitoro), pickles, and more. We were also able to explore several different baths, and my wife and I made wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

Dining by the atmospheric irori hearth was wonderful in both ambiance and taste. Breakfast was not a buffet, so we were able to enjoy it at a relaxed pace. The staff were kind, and it was a comfortable Accommodation. The sink being unusually low bothered me a little, but it wasn’t too inconvenient. I was happy that the in-room bath had tiled walls that gave a nostalgic Showa-era feel. Thank you very much for taking care of us.

Thank you very much for taking such great care of us. 1) All staff were kind, and we had a very pleasant stay. 2) The Room was clean and spacious, and opening the window let in fresh air—very satisfying. 3) The Onsen was excellent, with different temperature levels to choose from. The open-air bath is highly recommended. 4) Dinner was truly delicious, and you could really feel the chef’s skill. The rice was “Hitomebore.” I used to think Yamagata’s “Tsuyahime” was the best, but I decided to order this instead. Also, this season you can choose chestnut rice as well—and it’s unbelievably good. 5) Breakfast is a buffet; I didn’t have high expectations, but honestly it was delicious. The buffet selection changes daily, and they serve you the rice and miso soup for a comforting at-home feeling. Excellent. Overall, it feels very reassuring here. We will definitely visit again. Highly recommended.
