HOTEL MAZARIUM

This time I made a point of arriving in Morioka early. Even though it was before check-in, the staff kindly stored my luggage, so I could explore Morioka hands-free. I also got to fully enjoy my favorite Morioka reimen, and at night I relaxed and refreshed at the spa. The sauna and cold bath were perfect, and the next day I headed to work feeling great. As a soft-serve lover, I was beyond happy to be able to enjoy Noda Salt soft-serve right inside the Hotel!Another highlight is being able to spend time at ease in such a refined space. The parking lot is close by, and the location is very convenient with direct access to the bus center. Just one thing: it was a little hard to understand how guests can use the Hotel cafe. Could I have had dinner there too…? Was there morning coffee that could be taken back to the Room…? Next time, I’d love to stay for a relaxing Multiple Night Stay on a private trip!

Due to work, my stay was short, so I couldn’t use the spa or enjoy the breakfast I had been looking forward to. However, the Room was clean and comfortable, with a desk that made it easy to spend time there. Heralbony artwork was subtly displayed throughout, and it was soothing to relax while taking in the art. The Hotel as a whole has a stylish yet warm atmosphere—more than just an overnight stay, it felt like a wonderful space that also nourished your senses. The staff were courteous as well, and it’s one of my favorite Hotels that I’d love to stay at again when visiting Morioka. Ah… not for work—I’d love to spend a few leisurely days here listening to jazz. The mineral water with the Heralbony label was so lovely that I bought some online after returning home!
