Stayed for a night on our Tohuku drive holiday.||Located in a remote part of the town about 5km and therefore a car is necessary.||Well maintained hotel, good buffet breakfast and average dinner. …

Two people used it. The guest room was originally a Japanese-style room with a bed, and was spacious. The keys are not automatic locks, but you will be given two keys, so you don't have to worry about the keys even when you go to the public bath. The employees were very nice.Also, from 21:00 to 22:30, you can get a free bowl of Dandan noodles as a late-night snack. The soup seems to change every month. October was black sesame. The portion is small, so it's perfect for a small stomach. Breakfast is a buffet and the menu doesn't change even if you stay overnight, but Iwaizumi's yogurt was very delicious.The large public bath is a hot spring, but there is no sauna. The hot spring area was also empty. At 23:30, all but one of the indoor baths were closed, which was a bit disappointing. Therefore, overall 3 stars.There is a 7-Eleven located 5 minutes walk below the hotel.

2024/9/29I used it for a day bath.Cash only.You can bring your own hair dryer!I used good quality shampoo conditioner and body soap.Is the large indoor bath the only hot spring?Others smelled like chlorine.Everything was lukewarm and just right for this time of year.There is no sauna etc.The part where I put the hair dryer on was so hot that I started sweating. I was wondering why it was so hot, but it turned out that the ventilation fan was covered in dust and I couldn't breathe. The feet were clean, but the top was dirty. A little disappointing.

Kamenoi Hotel Tour 13. The only valuable hotel in the southern Tohoku region.It's also on a hill with a nice view, so I was quite tired after dragging my suitcase up the hill from the bus stop. It's definitely easier than Awaji Island. If you call before 18:00, they will come and pick you up at the bus stop.The surrounding area is quiet and you can take a good rest. It was convenient and close to sightseeing spots.The front desk staff was polite and kind, and the cleaning ladies greeted me as politely as hotel staff, which made me feel comfortable. The rooms were clean because those people were cleaning them.I enjoyed the large public bath, which included an open-air bath with a great view, a lotion bath, and a jet bath.Overall very satisfied.

I used it for sightseeing in Hiraizumi.It takes about 15-20 minutes from this hotel to Hiraizumi.It is said that it was originally a Kanpo inn.The building is old and has the feel of a rustic hot spring inn.It's strange that the employees don't have accents (lol)As it is a day trip hot spring, the public bath is very large.The food was very delicious ✨
