Kamenoi Hotel Ichinoseki

During our trip to the Hiraizumi area, I stayed here with my two sons. The welcome drinks were an all-you-can-drink service that you could freely customize, including beer, chilled sake, wine, and various liqueurs. In addition, a corner of the lobby was packed with nostalgic snacks, bar snacks, shaved ice, ice cream, and more. The large public bath also had an open-air bath and was a decent size. It was a shame there was no sauna. We used a Room for up to four guests with three people, so it felt luxuriously spacious; however, it was an accessible care Room and one of the beds was a nursing-care bed. There were rails on the ceiling leading all the way to the bathroom. I felt that wheelchair users could stay here with peace of mind. One disappointing point was that when we woke up in the morning, the bathroom light had become as dim as a nightlight. It had been normal until bedtime, but we couldn’t find any adjustment button even after looking for one, which made getting ready in the morning slightly inconvenient. We enjoyed all of the meals—dinner, late-night snack (tantanmen), and breakfast—everything was delicious. Since we live far away we may not have another chance to stay at this Hotel again, but I would like to try other Kamenoi Hotels in the future.

Accommodation rates were high during Golden Week, but the price on the last day, 5/5, was more reasonable, so we stayed for one night to visit Geibikei Gorge and Genbikei Gorge.Dinner was lavish and delicious, and breakfast had a great variety as well.The bath isn’t brand-new, but it was kept clean and was spacious, so we could relax.The Room had been nicely renovated too, and we had a comfortable stay.Thank you very much.
