Hotels Near Iwate Prefectural Forest in Hachimantai

In the context of a scientific event, I had the chance to stay one full week at the ANA Crowne Plaza Resort. In a few words, I will simply say that this place is amazing, and that I recommend it for a skiing stay in Appi. In terms of the hotel itself, I have found that the staff were friendly, helpful and professional, like it could be expected in Japan. They took care of all the little issues I had during my stay, promptly and without any discussion. I additionally appreciated the “eco-friendly programme” that is offered, in which coupons are provided in exchange of ”no-cleaning room days”. The amenities in the hotel (public baths, souvenir shops, ski rental station) are spot on to make the stay perfect. I would however like to mention that it could even be better with a bar that stays open late (at least until midnight), as this would have prevented me from having to go to the next hotel to get a drink with my colleague. Maybe the bar from the hotel was closed because of the time in the season? Concerning the room I got, it is spacious and comfortable, super clean, although furniture and facilities are a bit old-style. Renewing the bathroom material could be a good item to put on the hotel to-do list, as well as making the room a bit more soundproof and insulated. This would hence prevent cigarette smoke from entering into the room from the outside. Moreover, whereas the bed was very comfortable and allowed for a propre relaxation time after a busy day with work and skiing, I got awakened by the noisy engines of the snow groomers several times during my stay (which is annoying, especially at 5:00 AM). Therefore, I would rank my experience as an average one (neither particularly good nor bad).

一年一度嘅滑雪假期，今次選址安比高原。由於雪場嘅酒店價錢較貴，所以搵咗附近一間有溫泉嘅酒店試吓。酒店會安排喺JR嘅接送服務免費，職員有禮貌，又幫得手，讚！ 住宿包兩餐，早餐每日都係一樣嘅set加少量自助形式嘅食物提供。而晚餐就係shabu shabu，炭燒牛，同埋壽喜燒輪流替換。牛肉係田澤牛，個人認為肉質唔算10分出色，但係可以接受。 酒店內有溫泉，有兩間私人風呂，配套唔錯。唯一較為唔理想嘅地方就係位置較遠，如果唔係自己揸車嘅話，就要由酒店安排嘅接駁車去雪場。 同埋每日嘅早餐時間，晚餐時間，接駁車時間需要提早預備安排，所以唔能夠好自由輕鬆咁樣去每日決定幾點食飯幾點去雪場幾點返。

This time I booked Arts Color, but I actually lived in the main building of the boss's other restaurant Life is Beautful( It should be called Beautiful Life~), the homestay is about10-15 minutes walk from Anbi Ski Resort & Bailu Hot Spring, not too far away, the key homestay dinner seems simple, but super delicious, there is a French restaurant standard, In the morning 8-9 o'clock & afternoon 16-17 there is a free welcome (Anbi Station or Anbi Ski Resort), B1 there is a loan cut wind, just like the size of Yangming Mountain's personal hot spring, but it is really relaxing to soak after skiing the snow. There is also a beautiful and atmospheric API House bread cafe opposite the hotel. There is a ROCKY BBQ restaurant next door. On this night in the countryside, such a store has been counted a lot, because there is really no nightlife here at this night. You can consider going to the Bailu Hot Spring for a soup (open until 23:00). This is a personal trip. The cost of one berth and two meals is NT2100/day. I think it is very good value, it is recommended, I hope that I can visit again not too long.

We stayed on a free tour of 2 nights and 3 days from a travel agency. It is a simple tour of Shinkansen and accommodation. Currently, a round-trip transfer from Morioka Station to the hotel, which costs 200 yen one way, was also included. However, when I took the transfer bus to Morioka City on the second day, it cost 200 yen one way. Since there is only one train departing from Morioka Station at 3:00 pm, if you want to play a little more, you will use the fixed-route bus, but in that case it was 630 yen from Morioka Station. This route bus takes about 35 minutes because it passes through AEON Mall and Morioka Tezukuri Village. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the end point of the connection hot spring to the hotel, but when you arrive, you will pick you up when you call. This is free. The entrance to the hotel is on the second floor, but there is a large lobby overlooking the Gosho Lake spreading in front of you. Here, although it stops by the season, Sansa Odori is held every night from 8:15 pm to 25 minutes. The preservation society changes daily, so the dance and drums are different, and you can enjoy it every night, which is very powerful. From 3 pm, you can enjoy coffee and tea, orange juice and ice candy as a welcome drink in the lobby. Ice is also a vendor, so I could use it for drinking in the room. The hot spring has a large communal bath three times, and it is good here, but the hot water of the southern bend house on the second floor was good. You can enjoy two types of hot water on a daily basis from 5 am to 10 pm. The architecture is also great. The meal was included in the tour, but it was very delicious unlike the two nights. Breakfast is a buffet, but there are many local dishes (hitsumi soup, Morioka soba, Jaja noodles, etc.). As for the guest rooms, all rooms have lake views, but it seems better to go upstairs. In a 12 tatami Japanese-style room, there are about 3 tatami mats by the window and a table space. There was an independent toilet and a large washbasin, and there was a room bath, but I didn't use it because there was a hot spring.

As written in many reviews, the water quality of the hot spring was really good. Plenty of hot water was flowing, and I was satisfied with both the indoor and outdoor baths. Even after getting out of the hot spring, my body was warm and warm, and although it was a chilly day, I fell asleep comfortably. Although it was November, there were a few stink bugs in the room, but I wonder if it can't be helped because it's deep in the mountains... The room was old but clean. Both kamameshi and sukiyaki were delicious, but the seafood cheese fondue was rich and had kamameshi, but it was served like a risotto over white rice. I was satisfied with the volume as well. However, the ice cream and matcha mousse of the buffet style dessert was not good. Breakfast was quite crowded, so I was worried, but it seems that corona measures were taken, so I was relieved. I enjoyed both rice and croissants, and I ate too much because there was a wide variety. I was very grateful for the takeout coffee service.

I’m at the end of a three night stay at the Richmond Hotel in Morioka. The hotel is in a great location, opposite Morioka Station. The hotel appears to be new and has a Lawson convenience store with an entrance in the lobby. Check in is largely self-checkin, but when I checked in staff were present to help. My room on the 8th floor is easily comfortable for two people, even though it’s a single. And the bed is both large and comfortable. Even the bathroom is larger than many of my recent stays at other hotels. I’ve stayed at Richmond hotels in other cities and have always been pleased. They are not luxury hotels, but they are very comfortable and well-thought out hotels. I would call them dependable. And for the cost, a great deal in my view. I did not try the breakfast, but all indications in the hotel are that it is good, with regional specialties available. One other big plus for me is that the hotel is quiet. No noise in the halls. None from outside. And none from train departures. Overall, a great stay.

There was only a relatively new hotel and the room was in good condition. There is no problem with cleaning. I contacted the hotel by phone in advance for parking reservations, but the response at that time was very good, and the explanation and guidance of the parking lot clerk on the day were very polite and I liked it. It's close to the station, so I think it's a convenient location for traveling by public transportation. However, the bed mattress is hard. I hurt my body overnight. Is this hardness in any hotel in the route inn? If so, the route inn will be basically removed from the future choice. Other than this, it was a comfortable hotel.

It is a little far from Morioka Station on foot. However, there are many places to eat and cafes around the hotel, and there is no inconvenience. Rather, I feel like an old town and I can enjoy Morioka. This hotel, the first floor has a Starbucks. It is open until late at night, so it is good to be a little bit hard. There is also Morioka Castle Park as soon as you walk. The hotel itself has history, so it feels a bit old but clean. The room is spacious and relaxing. The bed is comfortable. The water was clean and comfortable. I think it depends on the type of room, but there are two legs and tables of chairs, so it is easy to eat take-out and have coffee. There is also a desk, so it is convenient when you want to work. Also, the noise from the next door was not heard and comfortable. I felt that the net connection was a bit slow, but I could use it enough. It was a hotel I wanted to use if I had another chance.
