Dinner is luxurious and includes Iwate beef teppanyaki, 5 pieces of sashimi, soup, and grilled fish. Directly flowing from the source of Tsunagi Onsen (with water added). This is a great deal for less than 10,000 yen. The reservation phone was ringing constantly.

I visited by bus from Morioka Station.It was cheaper to stay than other inns in the area, the food was delicious, and the hot springs had a faint sulfur scent and were available for private use, which was great.Also, the host of the inn was very kind and accommodating, so I had a comfortable stay.However, you will have to walk up the stairs to go to the bathroom or the dining room, so it may be difficult for people with bad legs.This time I visited in the summer, but I heard that there are fewer customers in the winter, so I would like to visit in the winter next time.This is the kind of inn you want to stay at forever.

Even though it's a hot spring, it's cheaper than other inns, so I was skeptical, but it turned out to be a nice, homey guesthouse. It's a pretty cost-effective accommodation.The baths are reserved for each person, so you have the hot spring all to yourself. Tsunagi Onsen has very good spring quality and is the best! !The room is clean and comfortable. The toilet and washroom are shared. I was a little worried about security because the lock was a little difficult to lock, but since there aren't that many people staying there and most of them meet in the dining room, I feel safe.What's especially amazing here is the food. The main meat for dinner is big and delicious and you will be surprised. All other dishes are also delicious. Alcohol pricing is also very reasonable.For breakfast, Iwaizumi yogurt is served. It had a fluffy texture, richness, and was very delicious. The rice is a brand rice from Iwate called "Ginga no Shizuku".We were able to take a free bus tour to see the Sanza dance, which was also fun.It was my first time traveling to Tohoku alone, but I was able to learn a lot of tourist information and have a great time.It's not new or big, but it's definitely a great value. Recommended!

The food was delicious. The host's personality is nice, and I think this is a guesthouse with the best value for money.It would be better if the lock inside the room was a little more secure.

The second floor is a guest room, and it has the atmosphere of an inn where Tora-san stays. There are only stairs. The rooms are next to each other, so if you're staying with someone you know, it won't bother you, but you can hear voices. Please note that there is only one toilet.The hot springs and food are great. The two Iwate beef steaks are the best. The friendly host's personality is warm and warm to those who stay here.

Plan that includes dinner and breakfast. I will write about some parts that I thought were really good, and some parts that I thought were hmmm...Dinner was a luxurious meal of Iwate beef, and I was very satisfied with the variety of sashimi and other items besides Iwate beef. Breakfast was just the right amount and the Iwaizumi yogurt was delicious.The owner was there in the dining room to serve the food and clean up, and he talked to me about various things. Some people might find that annoying in this day and age, but he seemed to be a very calm and kind person and I didn't like it at all. I didn't feel that way.The room was not a proper private room as it was a so-called guesthouse type room, and as soon as you exited the Japanese-style room, you entered a common hallway, so you had to try to be quieter than usual. I didn't notice any noise this time, probably because there were a lot of solo travelers, but I feel like if there were talkative tourists next to me, I'd probably hear a lot.Also, the hair dryer is not in the changing room of the bath, but in the washroom on each floor, so I think people in rooms near the washroom would have been bothered by the sound of the hairdryer.The hot spring water had a slight sulfur scent and soothed my tiredness. There's only one shower, so if someone else is in there, you can't use it. The closest expression is a private bath. This time, there were more male customers than female customers, so the bath didn't open at all, so I finally opened it after 10pm. It would have been better to go in before dinner. I can tell if someone is in the bath by checking if there are slippers in front of the bath, and I had to go from the 3rd floor to the 1st floor about 5 times to check.At night, Morioka Sansa Odori is performed every night for the people staying at Tsunagi Onsen, so I went to see it and it was really good. The event will be held at a large hotel near Tsunagi Onsen, so you will need to travel, but there are also private buses available.that's all.The food and bath (as for soaking) were very good. The outside looks old, but I think the inside is kept clean. The host's personality is also nice. The price includes breakfast and dinner, and you can stay for less than 10,000 yen.

The toilets and sinks are shared, but the food is excellent. The 140g Iwate beef steak per person, sashimi, sea squirt, salted fish, and pickled fish were delicious.The bath is also small, but the water flows directly from the hot spring source, so we recommend it! is.We were invited by the hospitable owner, and in the evening, we were able to watch the Sansa dance for free with transportation included.

I stayed there for the first time a few days ago, and the host was a friendly person.The dinner was good and I was satisfied with the breakfast.I guess you could call it a men's inn. I've booked a place to stay and am looking forward to it.Last month, I stayed at Aishinkan diagonally across the street, but I'm looking forward to staying at Yamashin, which has a different feel.It also had a different charm.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner of Iwate beef steak. The bedding was laid out, and there was coffee service after breakfast, so it was a good value for money.
