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 places we’d love to return to.

No matter how many times we visit, Osawa Onsen never disappoints. We were very satisfied again this time, including the attentive service from the staff. On the drive home, we were already planning when to come back next. Thank you very much.

After reading everyone’s reviews, we chose this property for our stay, and it truly was wonderful. We informed them in advance that we would be traveling with an elderly family member, and thanks to their thoughtful consideration, my mother—who loves hot springs—was happily able to go to the baths on her own with ease. The highly alkaline spring water was extremely soothing, and the building’s luxurious design is well worth seeing. We also wanted to try the German pastries sold on-site, but the meals were so lavish that we had no room left—and since we couldn’t take them home over a long distance, we had to give up. Everything was comfortable, and if it were closer, we would visit again and again.

It was my first time in Hanamaki, a town that brings to mind Kenji Miyazawa and Shohei Ohtani. I arrived in just under an hour by shuttle bus from Shin-Hanamaki Station. This is a wonderful Ryokan with the nostalgic charm of the Showa era, exactly as I had imagined. I arrived after 4:00 p.m., and since dinner started at 5:30 p.m., I hurried to the Onsen. First was “Katsura-no-Yu.” After washing, I headed to the open-air bath. Watching my step, I made my way down to the lower bath and soaked slowly while looking out over the mountain stream—pure bliss. After a short break, I tried “Hakuen-no-Yu,” the most famous standing bath here. For me, the water at “Hakuen-no-Yu” felt softer. Dinner was very lavish; we also added sea bream and crab shabu-shabu. Everything tasted excellent, and I enjoyed every last bite. After that—and again the next morning—I soaked in the Onsen about three more times in total; it truly was an Onsen-filled stay. My favorites were “Hakuen-no-Yu” for its soft water and the open-air bath at “Katsura-no-Yu,” where you can relax while gazing at the stream. The Onsen was so good that I even made a Reservation for November on my way home. Next time, I plan to stay at “Jusangatsu.”

Since my injury, we’ve been celebrating our birthdays here in a Room with an open-air bath. I love Onsen, but I was afraid to use large baths and had given up. Then, as a birthday gift for my husband, we came here, and using the bath in our Room helped me regain my confidence—so it has become our regular Accommodation ever since. It’s wonderful.

The room was spacious and quiet. The in-room bath is also fed directly from the hot spring source, which was very relaxing. The alkaline hot spring (pH 9.3) leaves your skin feeling wonderfully smooth. The large public bath was also spacious and enjoyable. The meals were luxurious and absolutely delicious. Because the duvet cover is very slippery and tends to slide off, I think it would be better to change the cover material. All of the staff were very kind as well. I’d love to visit again.

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.

It was a wonderful Accommodation that exceeded my expectations. The property was quiet, with a slow, relaxing pace of time—an atmosphere that lets you forget everyday life. The Room was spotless and beautifully maintained, and the open-air bath attached to the Room had excellent water quality and was so comfortable I wanted to soak in it again and again. There is also a large public bath, but I think you’ll be more than satisfied with the bath in your Room alone. The meals were carefully prepared using mainly locally sourced ingredients, and everything was delicious. In addition to the Room, there were thoughtful touches such as a footbath and complimentary drink service, making our stay feel truly luxurious. I’d love to visit again in a different season next time.

With its convenient location right by the East Exit of Kitakami Station, I stayed on the top (9th) floor this time. The room was new and clean, spacious for a single, and well designed with an easy-to-use desk and chair and a thoughtfully planned layout. The Hotel also offers welcome drinks, a choice of amenities, and a large public bath, making the stay comfortable overall. Laundry Facilities are available on both the 2nd and 6th floors; it was convenient to check machine availability from the room, and the PIN-code system was helpful as well. On the other hand, they can be fully occupied during peak times, and it would be even more convenient if cashless payment were available. This time I chose a Plan with dinner and breakfast included. Since there aren’t many restaurants within walking distance around Kitakami Station’s East Exit area, choosing dinner included was definitely the right call. Being able to have all meals within the Hotel is a major advantage. Breakfast featured items such as Kitakami natto, roast beef, and BALMUDA toasters, and the overall atmosphere and quality were good. However, yogurt had run out by around 7:30 a.m., and I felt that adding more variety to the side dishes and improving the color balance of the salad selection would make it even better. While there are some minor areas for improvement, overall it was a very satisfying stay including the room, large public bath, in-house Facilities, and meals. If I have another chance to stay near Kitakami Station, I would like to use this Hotel again.

I think this is an Accommodation with a very high overall level of satisfaction. It was my first stay in a while since COVID, and I got the impression that you have been making great efforts, including with the meals. The large public bath is by far the best in the prefecture. These days, it’s disappointing that many Accommodations don’t allow bathing until after 3:00 PM even during a Multiple Night Stay, but Shidotaira allows bathing except during cleaning hours, which is very helpful. During my stay, I made a Reservation for three consecutive nights in August. Also, it seems your address has not been updated, so if possible, please update it. I’m looking forward to next month.

The guest rooms and the large public bath were convenient and easy to use. Breakfast was sufficient as well. However, it was disappointing that there was only one elevator, so we often had to wait.

I chose this great-value discounted Plan and decided to visit. When I arrived, a staff member came to greet me and guided me to the parking area and reception, which made me feel very reassured. The Room had been renovated and I was very satisfied. The hot-spring tour was fun, and I especially enjoyed the rose bath. There was plenty of food as well—I’ll definitely come again.

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.

Located in a secluded area with an exceptional view from the window! The atmosphere, reminiscent of a place where bears might appear, adds to the charm!

We stayed for one night with our pet, my wife and I, timed with our daughter’s visit home, with dinner and breakfast included. All the staff were consistently kind and spoke to us warmly, making our stay comfortable from arrival to departure—we were very satisfied. Meals were served in the Room, so even with our pet we could relax without worrying. The food was gently seasoned, full of wholesome dishes that felt good for the body, and everything was delicious—we finished it all. The large public bath was diagonally across from our Room, which was extremely convenient. The water had a smooth, gentle quality and the temperature was perfectly managed. This is an Accommodation we would definitely like to visit again and highly recommend.

I use this Hotel when traveling for business, and the Room is always clean and the Onsen is great. The breakfast is also delicious—an excellent Hotel.

The room was very clean and spacious, allowing for a relaxing stay. The meals were delicious, and the large public bath and open-air bath offered both hotter and slightly warm options, making it easy to enjoy for extended periods. Despite being early September, cicadas were chirping, creating a nostalgic atmosphere to savor the end of summer while relaxing in the open-air bath. Thank you to all the staff for making it a memorable experience!

Deeper into the Hanamaki Onsen area, Dai Onsen itself had a rather rustic, old-fashioned atmosphere, but this Accommodation is a reinforced-concrete building and one of the larger Accommodations in Dai Onsen. It had a strong Showa-era feel, yet everything was impeccably clean; the Onsen was spacious, with abundant free-flowing water that felt pleasantly gentle on the skin. Just as we had heard about the excellent food, both dinner and breakfast were thoughtfully prepared with many dishes, and everything was delicious. All staff members—both younger and older—were consistently pleasant and service-minded without ever being overbearing; their perfectly balanced attentiveness was wonderful. The Room had a nostalgic Showa-era ambiance that older guests will appreciate, and we slept well in this warm and welcoming Accommodation.

For early departures, we prepared sausage bread for breakfast in advance. In the cold of December, we wanted to warm it up in a microwave but found none available. It would be helpful if a microwave could be installed at the coffee corner on the first floor.

Route Inn offers a great public bath. Since there are no convenience stores or restaurants nearby, you may need to rely on the dining area and vending machines within the Facility. As a Business Hotel, it is sufficient and provides high satisfaction.
