The staff were incredibly accommodating (to be fair everyone in Morioka was exceptionally hospitable). The hotel was awesome, onsen was amazing and the food absolutely delicious (both dinner and breakfast).

Lovely hotel, excellent staff, great dinner and breakfast. I love the onsen experience. We stayed multiple nights so we can try all the baths. There is a walking path along the lake. We took the hotel shuttle bus to Morioka to explore and took the local bus back. Very convenient and easy to navigate.

First Time, Not Last Time
It was a large facility with a beautiful view of the lake. The view was even better due to the leaves changing colour. The hot springs baths were wonderful. The meals were spectacular as well.

I asked to be moved to a higher floor as we could not see the lake from our room and they moved us to the top floor with excellent lake view. And we love the baths.

One of the baths was shut down unexpectedly for repairs. They drove us to a connected hotel so we could use that facility.
