“Lovely views”

This hotel had lovely views of Lake Gosho and the surrounding area. My Japanese-style room was comfortable. Dinner was Kaiseki with a half-Viking buffet. I enjoyed the onsen,

The onsen ryokan in a modern building. The service was excellent. We were greeted politely at the check-in. There was a group of guests but the staff managed to avoid the crowd. The staff explained the facilities and services of the hotel. The room was Japanese style room. Spacious and nice lake view. There was nice view area with a small table and chairs where we could sip Japanese tea while relaxing after Onsen bath. There were at least 4 big bath places, 2 on the second floor and 2 on the third floor. While the second-floor big bath has a view, the third-floor onsen does not. However, I felt that the third floor was real onsen, Gensen-kakenagashi. Maybe the second-floor ones were not onsen but just hot water? But it had a great view. I went to the second-floor big bath before sunset and the third-floor onsen after sunset. The plan included dinner and breakfast. The dinner was a course menu and buffet. Local food and Abalone made dinner so special, and we cannot forget milk-based soup. They do have a bus from/to Morioka station. Need advanced reservation. We used a hotel bus from Morioka station, but used a public bus on return. They took us to Tsunagi Onsen bus station by car.

If you are in the area, I recommend a stay at this hotel and the full experience try a Japanese room.

Big ‘ updated’ Hotel with a Great Lake View !n a peaceful area wilh the lake in the front and hills at the back ! Its about 40 minutes drive to Morioka ! They have Big Rooms that is badly laid out ! , there is a huge L shaped couch , a the toilet is tiny with a wash basin no bigger than a tissue box but lots of corridor space ! Bath room is better ! Overall its really planned for corporate Japan or local weddings !
