Harukiba Station × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly rated for rooms and amenities at Hotel·Ryokan

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!

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.

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!

It was a truly wonderful Hotel. The hot water was excellent, and I was very satisfied. One suggestion: it would be helpful to have a trash bin in the washing area of the bath. It was difficult to store amenities such as razors and toothbrushes. I would appreciate it if this could be improved. Also, I think the shop’s selection could be a bit more extensive. I would have been happy if there were some light snacks in the free drink corner.

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.

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.

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.
