Nainai Station × Hotel For A Home-Like StayRecommended Hotel·Ryokan

Inishie no Toki Onsen. With over 600 years of tradition, the renowned hot spring flowing from the mountains of Hanamaki, the legendary Shirozaru Onsen, a time of relaxation, exquisite cuisine, and the spirit of hospitality passed down since its opening, a new story begins.

Rebranded and reopened in August 2025, ANA Holiday Inn Iwate Kitakami is located about a 7-minute walk from JR Kitakami Station East Exit. Situated in a scenic location along the Kitakami River, the hotel offers 114 guest rooms ranging from 16 sqm single rooms to 46 sqm suites. Enjoy spacious accommodations and well-equipped facilities for a comfortable stay. The facility includes a restaurant, fitness gym, and large public bath.

A keyaki-wood Onsen Ryokan—beloved by Kenji Miyazawa and Torahiko Tamiya—crafted entirely from zelkova, a style that can no longer be recreated today. The historic Namari Onsen, first opened around 600 years ago, offers exceptionally high-quality waters recognized by selections such as “New Japan’s 100 Famous Hot Springs,” “Japan’s 100 Famous Hot Springs,” and “Japan’s Onsen Heritage.” Unusually even among well-known hot spring areas, the property has five source springs, and all four baths on site are luxurious 100% free-flowing natural spring water (kakenagashi). It is also known as “Namari-no-Yu,” featured in Kenji Miyazawa’s masterpiece *The Bears of Nametoko Mountain*, making this a special Accommodation where the story’s world and a historic Onsen come together. In 2025, the main building—of outstanding historical value—was designated a National Registered Tangible Cultural Property, allowing you to fully enjoy the beauty of traditional Japanese architecture as well. In particular, we highly recommend the 100% natural self-springing rock bath “Hakuen-no-Yu,” said to be Japan’s deepest—a superb bath that warms you through to your core.
