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. Lately, we often feel dissatisfied with the service at many Accommodations, but at this Accommodation we had a truly pleasant stay—thank you very much.All of the staff were wonderful, and we felt that attention to detail was evident in many ways.The shampoo bar in the bath was well stocked, with options 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 more highly in Reviews.In addition to the flavor, there were thoughtful touches—for example, broad beans had a small slit so they were 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 sweet-and-salty seasoning and a flavor profile that seemed geared toward older guests. The ingredients may have been good, but it looked plain; after being satisfied with breakfast on the first morning, it was a shame.That said, everything else was excellent. Being able to drink bottled water anytime—and freely help ourselves to tea, cola, and even Aquarius—was very appealing.The bath water was silky-smooth; we could relax and were very satisfied! Thank you very much.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 the thoughtful details behind your concept.
