Situated in Morioka, 14 km from Morioka Station, Shikitei Morioka TsunagiOnsen offers accommodation with a hot spring bath, a public bath and an open-air bath. This 4-star ryokan offers a lift and luggage storage space. The ryokan features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. The included meals were beyond our expectations. The staff went out of their way to accommodate our dietary requirements and properly communicate them with us. We had a room with our own private open air bath which was very easy to use and adjust. All the amenities were very clean and easy to access as well.

The ryokan will provide guests with air-conditioned units with a desk, a kettle, a fridge, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a bidet. The units are equipped with heating facilities. Itsumu was a wonderful blend of traditional ryokan and modern hotel. Our room was a beautiful, pristine tatami mat style with comfortable futon beds. Dinner was excellent and beautifully presented, as was breakfast. They even provided my five year old daughter with beautiful meals designed to appeal to children. The onsen was simple but beautiful, with a semi-outdoor bath overlooking a lovely garden. We would very happily stay here again.

Fulsato features a hot spring bath and free private parking, and is within 16 km of Shigarai Ski Area and 44 km of Kitakami Station. The property has mountain and river views. The ryokan features family rooms. This place was an amazing stop-over on our train journey from Kyoto to Sapporo. I think we were especially lucky being here on a Monday night as we were virtually the only people here! It meant that my son and I got the public onsen to ourselves which is superb (the outside area is right next to falling snow and a stream).

Apikogen Mori no Hotel offers a sauna and a hot spring bath, as well as air-conditioned accommodation in Hachimantai, 46 km from Morioka Station. This 3-star ryokan features a spa experience, with its public bath and open-air bath. There is a restaurant serving Japanese cuisine, and free private parking is available. I wish that I had discovered this place sooner. My husband is a passholder at the nearby Appi Ski Resort so I booked the family room to work out of while he enjoyed the powder. We were impressed with the Cyprus bath in the room, but it had nothing on the outdoor rock bath. The outdoor baths are both accessible to all guests on a first-come, first-served basis (you can lounge in the lobby and wait for one to open up). The building itself looks like an old lodge and has a beautiful staircase in the lobby. The staff were all very helpful, and there were at least two who spoke great English during our stay. We also booked breakfast and dinner, which I'd say are a must. The hotel advised us that there are no food options nearby. We luckily had a car, but if you don't, definitely be mindful of this.
