Shikitei Morioka TsunagiOnsen 4 stars

Tsunagi Onsen, Morioka

At Shikitei Morioka TsunagiOnsen Ryokan, guests can relax in the outdoor/indoor hot spring baths or get a soothing massage at a surcharge. Luggage storage service is available at the front desk and a gift shop and drinks vending machines can also be found on site. Absolute attention to every detail. We travelled from Kyoto all the way to Shikitei because we hoped it would be a memorable experience in a traditional Ryokan. It did not disappoint. Every staff member was extremely helpful, the food was outstanding, the room was spotless and our private open air onsen was to die for. They were also very accommodating for our one year old son, providing toys, baby yukata, and a variety of meals. Shikitei was the highlight of our 17 day trip to Japan.

Her story was really emotional and she is a true heroine. I am glad we met her and I am very happy to spend one night in this hotel to help local economy.

Breakfast: great coffee, food, service, environment Lunch: no lunch. I bet most people are at the ski Dinner: 3 options (chosen by the receptionist). All with beef as the main dish. Transportation: needed to schedule the shuttle every day, e.g., when to go to the ski, when to return, when to pick up from train station, when to depart, etc. Very close to the ski resort. Less than 15 minutes on foot. Two private and one public hot spring!!!! This is really my favourite part. Beautiful place! There's an area selling cup noodles, daily necessities, and souvenir. We live in a room for 4-5 people. spacious. large window. Beautiful view. Indoor clothing provided. Great renovation and decoration. Professional staff.
