It was all-inclusive, and there were many types of alcohol, which was great!There are various services such as gelato, cup noodles for late night snacks, and sweets that children can enjoy.When I went, there was never a time when I couldn't eat alcohol or the buffet because of the delay in refilling it.All the employees have great customer service and I think they are doing their best.

Accommodation after reopening・There are spider webs in the lights in the guest room.- Futons for the number of people are not set.・No tea set or kettle in the room.・The refrigerator has become an ornament in the room, and although it is installed, it is not usable.・There are no hot drinks in the lounge, only cold soft drinks, coffee, and alcohol.- Breakfast food was not replenished.The hot water was very good.

I wasn't planning on writing a review, but I'm preparing an official website and I'm sure some people would like information, so I'll post it here.(I didn't plan on posting, so there aren't many photos🙏)Stayed on the 14th (first day of 3-day holiday) of September 13th opening.Approximately 30,000 yen for 2 people during peak seasonI happened to see an advertisement for the renovated lounge without any particular purpose, so I stayed there without any prior information, only seeing photos of the renovated lounge.[Environment/location]There's nothing around lolThere is no convenience store, and there is one shop that closes in the evening and one izakaya.To put it bluntly, it's very quiet.If it's sunny, the stars might be beautifulThe rooms are said to either face the river or the mountain, but I think either is fine. (The river in front of us is not a mountain stream, but really a “river.” If you look closely, you can see fish swimming in it.)The only sightseeing around is Koiwai Farm.[Facilities/Services]・All-inclusive (lounge)3 types of beer, 3 types of sake, chuhai, highball, soft drink bar3 types of local (pine cone) ice creamNo knobs etc.・Various board games for rental・Incense (for room)・Dagashi・Various cup noodles for late night snacks・There is a karaoke lounge that you can use freelyI believe the above is until 22:00.There is DAKARA and cold water in the bathroom, which is open until 24 hours.Only the lounge and public bath have been renovated.・It seems that if you tell a nearby izakaya (until 24:00) that you are staying at Kagasuke, they will give you a free dish.[Hospitality]2nd day of reopeningI can really feel that they are working hard.For better or worse, it is a country inn.Considering that I came to stay at a relative's house because of my feelings, I don't think there is anything to complain about.[meal]Free drinks here too (beer too)Dinner is a buffet at the hearth dining room.I think this is the information I want to know the most.What is served at the hearth・Ayu・Tofu dengaku・Kushiyaki (pork wrapped around asparagus)・Scallops (boiled scallops?)・Hitsumi·buckwheatAlso, the buffet menu that is common in this price range (roast beef, sushi, etc.)The carpaccio-style sashimi of ayu and scallops was delicious.Others are reasonably pricedBreakfast is also buffetFeels the same as the breakfast at Route InnI was planning on having Wanko Soba after this, so I didn't end up eating too much, which was good.[Large bath]There are 2 locationsThere is no open-air bathSwap gender at night and morningNaturally flowing from the source + hot water so self-adjust by adding waterIt was new so it smelled like wood.You can see the scenery from the window, but what you can see is the inn opposite you.If you don't like being seen, it might be best to stay away from the window.[General]It's cheap anywayYou should look at the lowest price without specifying a date before evaluating.I think evaluations will differ depending on what you expect from this inn.If you're looking for a reasonable price, you can stay at Mori no Kaze, and if you want something cheap, you can stay at a business hotel.Enjoy hot springs at a low price with all-you-can-drink meals and drinks included.That said, at this point, if you're torn between Mori no Kaze, I'd recommend Mori no Kaze, and if you're coming from far away for Kagasuke, I wouldn't really recommend it.The guest rooms are scheduled to be renovated in the future, but I hope they do their best until then.[I hope it's like this]I don't know if the people at the hotel will see it, but・Not enough seats in the loungeThere are about 10 lounge seats for about 30 guest rooms.Especially now, I think there are many customers who would rather be in the lounge than in their rooms, so I think it would be better to increase the number of seats.・Dining arrangementI think it would be better to have food in the middle and tables around it.It looks like a school lunch, which is a shame.·cookingI think it would be more delicious if the food was cooked in a hearth with a little more charcoal aroma. I think it has something to do with time, but since it's a highlight, I think it's better not to compromise.Kids might be happy if you can roast marshmallows and make s'mores.・I think it's very difficult to have a buffet in 38 rooms, but personally I think it would be better to improve the quality by having a main + side dish buffet.・The soft drink server is small, so you will have to wait for refills quickly.・I'm not local so I don't know, but if there is a local dish, please write the name of the dish.・I want a vending machine for after 10pm.・Maybe it would be nice to have a service that can be done because there is nothing else around.Hand-held fireworks or an astronomical telescopeI think people will compare it to routes like Oedo Onsen, so I want them to improve on the current merits.I've written a lot of things, but the people at the museum have great personalities, so I'd like them to do their best!

Worst, worst accommodation ever.There are no tea or tissues in the room.You can't use the refrigerator.There are no vending machines even if you want a drink.There's nothing in the room, and there's no vending machine, so I have to go to the front desk to get it. ...but it will no longer be usable at 10pm. As a result, I only had tap water in my room from 10pm until the morning... I can't drink soft drinks, water, tea, coffee, black tea, anything.I guess 80% of the meals are for business use, and I probably cook the rice.The parking lot is so small. There's a good chance you'll be injured in the morning.Accommodation✖︎, service✖︎, food✖︎, customer service✖︎, correspondence✖︎.If you have plenty of money or are not looking for anything in terms of lodging, please come here.

It's reasonably close to Morioka city, taking less than 30 minutes by car. There was a smell of sulfur coming from near the hotel. The exterior gives you a sense of history, and the inside feels retro as well. There was also a hot spring for day trips, and all amenities were provided. The hot spring water with hot spring water floating in it warmed my body very much.
