Hanamaki Onsen Kashoen

Last time, I stayed for just one night with my family, and it felt like such a waste to spend only one night at such a wonderful Accommodation, so this time I invited friends and enjoyed a longer stay. My friends, who were staying for the first time, were extremely satisfied, and by the last day they loved it so much that they said they didn’t want to go home and wanted to stay longer! Every meal was truly delicious from start to finish, and both my friends and I are fans of the head chef. We would love to stay again.

We visited on a family trip. At many Accommodations these days, we often feel dissatisfied with the service, but at this Accommodation we had a truly pleasant stay—thank you very much.All of the staff were wonderful, and we felt that everything was thoughtfully taken care of in many ways.The shampoo bar in the bath area was well stocked, with lines that were easy for children to use as well as ReFa shampoo. I knew the hair dryer was ReFa, but I didn’t realize you also had ReFa shampoo—I tried it for the first time (and my hair felt so smooth!).The meals were delicious—so much so that I couldn’t understand why they aren’t rated higher in Reviews.In addition to the flavor, there were thoughtful touches—for example, broad beans had small cuts to make them easier to peel, which made us happy. We were satisfied with both presentation and taste, and even though it was more than we usually finish, it was so good that we ate everything.However, since we stayed two nights, I was disappointed with breakfast on the second morning and lowered my rating by one. There were many small dishes with a sweet-and-salty seasoning that felt more suited to older guests. The ingredients may have been good, but the presentation was plain; because we loved breakfast on the first morning, this was especially disappointing.That said, everything else was excellent. Being able to drink bottled water anytime and freely help ourselves to tea, cola—even Aquarius—was very appealing.The bath water was silky-smooth as well; we could relax and were very satisfied! Thank you again.Iwate is far for us, but this is an Accommodation we would like to visit again. We felt healed by the staff’s smiles and by all the thoughtful details behind your concept.
