Shizukuishi Station × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

My first trip to Morioka in a year, and my first Dormy Inn stay in a while. This time I made a Reservation for a twin room, and it was on the same floor as the large public bath—so convenient. My travel companion, who hates hassle, was genuinely impressed! The Onsen, sauna, and outdoor relaxation area were incredibly soothing. The breakfast reimen noodles were delicious; personally, I preferred Dormy Inn’s over some of the city’s famous spots. It’s a bit of a walk from the station, but there were plenty of nearby restaurants for dinner, so it wasn’t an issue. I was disappointed that the amenity socks were no longer available (they used to be there, right?). Still, I’ll definitely be back!

We stayed here to celebrate my partner’s birthday and chose a Room with a private open-air Onsen bath. The free-flowing Onsen water was wonderful, and we were able to relax at our own pace. Dinner was cooked over an irori charcoal grill, and the staff grilled everything for us—meat, seafood, and vegetables were all delicious. Breakfast also featured plenty of local ingredients, and we were very satisfied. Everyone at the Accommodation was kind and attentive to every detail. We would love to stay again someday!

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!

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!

I decided to visit Shizukuishi Station using the “Dokoka ni Viewn” travel plan and discovered Hotel Aishinkan in Tsunagi Onsen. I stayed at its sister property, Hotel Shion, the day before, and then stayed at Hotel Aishinkan on the second day. What made me choose it was the Yakiniku Hige dinner course. The amount and quality of the meat were both very satisfying, and being able to enjoy authentic cold noodles was fantastic. The staff were also very pleasant, so I ended up ordering an extra regular portion of cold noodles and additional meat as well. My stomach and my heart were full. Because it’s all-inclusive, I could enjoy my favorite beer at the yakiniku venue without worrying about the cost. After a bath, I could also freely enjoy alcohol in the lounge, which had a wonderful atmosphere. At breakfast, beer was available even in the morning; while I felt the breakfast selection was a little limited, I had reserved the Onsen Liner for my return trip so I could relax and enjoy it without concern. I used the large public bath and open-air bath so many times I lost count—it was truly a fun trip. It’s a bit far from Tokyo, but this is definitely one of the places I’d like to visit again.

This was my first trip to Iwate Prefecture. It’s far from home, so I hesitated a bit, but since I could use a municipal Discount Coupon, I decided to book—and I’m glad I did. I had seen a Review saying check-in took a long time, but for me it was around 3:50 p.m. on a weekday and everything went smoothly with no issues. The Room was new and impeccably clean. It was a Room with a semi-open-air bath, and I really appreciated having two bath mats and two thick bath towels per person. The tuna carving show was fun, and the food was delicious. What impressed me most was the excellent service. I wish I could give six stars! From the Shuttle Service driver from Morioka Station to the dining staff—everyone was polite and kind. The temperature of the open-air bath in my Room felt a little cool late at night, so at 5:00 a.m. I called the front desk even though I felt bad about it. They came to my Room right away without showing any displeasure and adjusted the temperature for me. They were so pleasant that it left me feeling warmly cared for, and it really stayed with me. The reason I rated “Guest room & amenities” as 4 is that there were no towels in the toilet area of the Room, and there were no shower caps or hair ties. For women who take multiple baths, these are essential, so please consider providing them. I’m truly glad we made the trip. Even my usually critical husband praised both the meals and how comfortable the Room was. Thank you very much for your hospitality and for giving us such wonderful memories. I would definitely like to stay again.

My spouse and I stayed here with our parents, booking two separate buildings. After reading Reviews saying things like “the meals aren’t great for the price,” we honestly didn’t expect much—but there were no issues at all. The portions were more than enough (and you can order extra if needed), everything was delicious, and we had nothing to complain about. Of course, the bath was amazing. Unfortunately, we happened to be there during a typhoon and couldn’t see the stars at night, so we will definitely return—next time, I’d love to soak in the bath while looking up at a sky full of stars. One point: there was a mismatch between the breakfast time we thought we had communicated and the time the Accommodation had on record (it was later), which affected our morning departure time and plans afterward. To avoid any misunderstandings about who said what, it would be helpful if you could leave a written note confirming the requested times for dinner and breakfast.

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.

We stayed for two nights during Silver Week 2026. We were very satisfied with the location, Facility, and meals, and gave 5 points to every category except hospitality and service. In particular, the Silver Week–limited “Grill Dining” at the in-Hotel restaurant “Ibuki” was excellent. We enjoyed not only the two grilled dishes but also the semi-buffet options. We also had wine and were able to relax and enjoy dinner as a family. We also joined the nighttime Galaxy Ropeway event. Unfortunately, it was cloudy so we couldn’t see any stars, but they made thoughtful efforts—such as spending time on the lawn and listening to a projector-based explanation of the night sky—so we still enjoyed it to some extent even without visible stars. On the other hand, we were disappointed with Room cleaning on our second night. After going out in the morning following our first night, we returned to the Hotel around 6:00 p.m. and found that our Room had not been cleaned; used towels and other items were left as they were. Since we had a Reservation at “Ibuki” from 7:00 p.m., we contacted the front desk and asked them to take care of it while we were at dinner. Later, before 7:00 p.m., fresh towels and yukata were delivered to our Room, but ultimately no cleaning was done. The response also felt rather procedural, and we did not feel there was sufficient explanation or apology regarding why cleaning had been missed. I understand that missed cleaning can happen due to miscommunication; however, including how it was handled afterward, I rated hospitality/service as 2 points this time. Because everything else—such as dining and facilities—was highly satisfying, this was particularly disappointing. I hope this will be improved in the future.
