Hotel Grand Ciel Hanamaki

#nagoyatrip Although it is located in front of the station, the area in front of the station is deserted like any other local city. It was built about 30 years ago, so the plumbing in the room is old-fashioned, but it's spacious enough. The service at the front desk and at the restaurant is excellent. We plan to visit again in the spring.overall this place is awesome and good also

Hanamaki Onsen is the premier hot spring resort and leisure resort in Iwate Prefecture. There is a hot spring street with alkaline springs. There are 4 hotels in Hongye Hall, Jiasong Garden, Qianqiu Pavilion and Hanamaki in the hot spring street (internal communication, as long as you can go to the hotel to take a hot spring at any hotel) There is also a rose garden next to these hotels. We are booking the Hongye Pavilion. The price is about 1530 RMB a night, which is very cost-effective, because the price includes two double nights. The seafood buffet at night is very rich and the breakfast is of the same quality. You think about how much it costs to eat a seafood day in Japan. . . Ordinary at least two to three hundred yuan, double for 500 (sincerely less). A decent breakfast, how to 100 yuan, two hundred. After deducting meals, I went to 700. The room is calculated to be 800 RMB. This is still a hot spring hotel. Dinner that can't be sunburned, very rich.

Kenji-no-yado , which is located in Jalan, because it was not long before the introduction, and it is close to the new Hanamaki Station. The focus is cheap, 2,900 yen. late. I received a squatting service as soon as I entered the door. The first impression was very good. I told the boss that I wanted to temporarily add one night and I was rejected. Then I said that I really liked your family and he agreed. (I later learned that Sunday is the day when their family is not open for business, and 3.1 he just ushered in his own baby, next week to close the door to go to his wife's city. As for why not born these days, I also I do not understand). When I came back on the day, I thought about going to the famous nipple hot spring tomorrow. The most famous one said that the Raiders had to book a lot of months in advance, and asked the owner of the hotel if he could call me for a call (I will point The name of the hot spring restaurant was more than a phone call gesture, and then said totorrow) I didn't expect him to understand. I asked for the price and specific details in one go, and told me in great detail how to go to that hot spring. Really, especially praise!! There is no other disadvantage except to check out at 9 o'clock in the morning (for me who went out early in the morning, there is no problem)

Every time I travel, I can add a little knowledge, this time too. When I came to Hanamaki, I knew Miyazawa Kenji, a poet and call writer who would write a word to paint, and immediately went to see his poem. Hanamaki is his hometown. The Japanese people should be very respectful to him, so during the 120th anniversary of his birth, various activities were held nationwide. The fairy tale village was built because of him. It is less than 20 minutes walk from the new Hanamaki station. . In the fairy tale village, there is the Miyazawa Kenji school, the small Galaxy Railway (which will run from April to November), and the Miyazawa Kenji classroom. When I went to Sunday, there were no tourists and it was suitable for taking pictures.

The hotel consists of 3 hotels, including the nostalgic Jushui Pavilion, the modern Japanese-style hotel Shan Shui Ge and the old-fashioned Tang Zhiwu." Among them, the mixed bath open-air bath facing the river, "Ozawa's soup" is the most famous, yes, it is a mixed bath for men and women!
