"Great river view during sakura season. We travel with rental car (lots of parking) but the location also nearby train station too. Breakfast was great."

"This hotel feels very new, with modern design throughout both the exterior and interior. I stayed in a single room and found it surprisingly spacious for one person. The hotel also provides comfortable sleepwear that can be worn to the public bath, which was a nice touch and very comfortable for sleeping. The automated check-in and check-out process was also very smooth, quick, and easy. Make sure to pick up some amenities at the lobby area before heading up to your room! The location is extremely convenient, just a few steps from the free shuttle stop to Geto Kogen Ski Area. During peak season, the queue can get quite long, so it’s best to arrive at least 15 minutes early to secure a seat on the shuttle."

"Goed ☺️"

"Shoes were taken off at the door and the hotel has a policy of ‘socks or bare feet’, which was fine by us. Socks were supplied in the room, if you didn’t want to wear your own. The hotel is a bit of a maze but we were guided personally to our rooms, and staff made sure that we had everything that we needed. The room was a new experience for us, with tatami mats set up with a table and chairs when we arrived and then converted for sleeping with futon mattresses. Unfortunately, I’m rather taller than your average ryokan guest and so spilled over the edges of the mattress. The small pillows (filled with buckwheat?) were also a bit of a challenge. Facilities in the room include a sink and a toilet but no shower. This is zero problem because there is a huge choice of different onsens, all of which are excellent. Traditional dinners and breakfasts were served in the dining room; huge feasts of small dishes, all beautifully presented. I suspect that I made many gaffs in the manner in which I ate everything but I thoroughly enjoyed it all. We also very much enjoyed the cultural dance show, and making use of the karaoke room! Thank you to all the staff who made us all feel so special and introduced us (gently) to the ryokan concept."

"I was stunned when I walked out from East exit of Kitakami station, then I arrive the hotel. The room is clean and good, breakfast is ok, I lost my doll, after i checked out and when I recognized it, I came back, and they kept it for me. I really love it."

"Ik gebruikte het bij de reis. Het is een kleine, maar schoon en schoon kamer. Als ik op m'n werk ga, wil ik het nog een keer gebruiken."

"Ik heb in Hanamaki gekeken, maar dat was te duur, dus ben ik in Kitakami gaan kijken en heb ik deze plek gevonden. Het is maar twee treinhalteplaatsen van Hanamaki, dus ik vind de prijs redelijk."

"Het hotelpersoneel was zeer aardig en handig, vooral voor vreemdelingen. Sommige van de receptiepersoneel konden Engels spreken, wat echt helpde tijdens het check-in proces. We waardeerden ook de gratis fietsverhuur het was een geweldige manier om de stad te exploreren, en we konden de fietsen veilig terug zonder enige problemen. Over het algemeen, een aangename en welkom verblijf!"

"De dienst is goed."
