Hotel Mori no Kaze Ougon-yado

We visited just before the summer holiday season, and since there were fewer guests, they kindly upgraded our Room, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We had a Room with an open-air bath, so we could soak in the Onsen many times and felt truly refreshed. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, and we were very satisfied. The large garden was in hydrangea and rose season, so we enjoyed strolling through the beautiful grounds. It was an early summer vacation for us—thank you very much!

We visited using the Iwate Prefecture accommodation discount. The moment we stepped inside, we were amazed by the wonderfully luxurious space. Every staff member greeted us with a warm smile and courteous service, making our stay truly heartwarming. In the lounge, guests can freely enjoy chilled juice and coffee; in particular, the cold pumpkin soup was delicious, and we went back for seconds. Both dinner and breakfast featured an abundant selection of dishes made with Iwate ingredients, all of which were excellent. After dinner, you can enjoy folk songs and mochi-pounding at the festival plaza. Guests can also join in the mochi-pounding, and we had a fun (and tasty) time together. The Onsen was clean, spacious, and wonderfully open-feeling; we enjoyed visiting multiple baths—an indoor bath, a semi-open-air bath, an open-air bath, and a private bath. The free-to-use massage chairs and post-bath ice cream were also much appreciated. The water quality was great and left our skin feeling silky smooth. The gardening park next to the Hotel is also very large: at night we relaxed while admiring the beautiful illuminations visible from our Room window, and in the morning we took a walk to enjoy seasonal flowers. We would love to visit again in a different season.
