ฮานะมะกิ ออนเซ็น เคียว × ที่พักสัมผัสธรรมชาติโรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีการประเมินห้องพักและสิ่งอำนวยความสะดวกสูง

Thank you very much for accommodating my daughter’s allergies and picky eating. At her earnest request, this was our first mother-and-daughter trip to Hanamaki to experience the world of Kenji Miyazawa. I’m always concerned about her meals when we travel, but thanks to you we were able to relax and enjoy our stay with peace of mind. It is a wonderful Ryokan—so much so that 24 hours in a day didn’t feel like enough. Next time, we would love to visit again with my husband and our other daughter—the whole family. Thank you very much.

Although it was a new Hotel, there was a corridor from the 2nd floor (the reception floor) to the neighboring “Hotel Shidotaira,” allowing guests to share Facilities. Hotel Shidotaira is a large-scale property with features children enjoy, such as a big water slide, and we were told it is run by the same management. This “Shidate” does not allow children under 12 to stay, so it offered a quiet environment. The Room felt a bit small, but the split-level layout helped make up for it. Recently, most Rooms with an open-air Onsen bath allow automatic temperature control, but this Hotel had true free-flowing hot-spring water at about 50°C, so adjusting the temperature was difficult. In that respect, the open-air public bath—along with the footbath—was very pleasant. The relaxation room also had amenities that younger women would appreciate, such as nail dryers. The after-bath lounge was better stocked than at other Hotels we have stayed at. After dinner, we could relax in the lounge at length; it felt like an adults-oriented Hotel completely different from the neighboring one.

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.

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 great-value discounted Plan caught my eye, so I 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.

Dining by the atmospheric irori hearth was wonderful in both ambiance and taste. Breakfast was not a buffet, so we were able to enjoy it at a relaxed pace. The staff were kind, and it was a comfortable Accommodation. The sink being unusually low bothered me a little, but it wasn’t too inconvenient. I was happy that the in-room bath had tiled walls that gave a nostalgic Showa-era feel. Thank you very much for taking care of us.

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.
