Holiday Homes in Iwate Prefecture

"Really comfortable hotel, in a good location. Walking distance to the station and shinkansen. We booked a little bigger room, and for Japanese standards, it was spacious enough..."

"Great stay in Ichinoseki! The location is perfect (near the station), the staff is friendly, and the rooms are very clean. I loved the breakfast and the 24/7 free coffee/tea in the lobby. My only complaint was the bedding—the mattress wasn't great and the pillows were too flat. Also, keep in mind you have to ask the front desk for moisturizer. Would still definitely recommend!""

"I stay at Dormy whenever possible. Great hotels. "

"Good: strong water pressure "

"Rooms cannot adjust air conditioning temperature. The rooms are operated by central system where indoor temperature is based on outdoor temperature. "

"Located right across from the train station, it is within walking distance to major sights and shopping."

"A nice set-up for a ski-in/ski-out resort. My kids also had great lessons with an English instructor. Getting to Appi Kogen was also quite easy with the buses from Morioka Station. We were also bumped up to a larger room, which was very comfortable, especially by Japanese standards. That was also great. However….. The only drawback was the very limited food options, especially for dinner with young kids, who don’t eat very much anyway. We live in Japan, so we’re accustomed to Japanese portions, local izakayas, bentos, etc. But this was challenging. It was either spend 20,000¥-30,000¥ for a mediocre buffet, where the kids just wanted a few bites of the simplest food. Or a yakiniku restaurant that would’ve been 30,000¥ - 40,000¥ for a family of 4. High-end sushi spot that would’ve been even more pricey. (The room service menu is quite sad, and again would be close to 20,000¥) Or, you’re left with getting instant Nissin ramen cups at the convene, which is what we ended up doing the last night. (Breakfast, again, pay steep prices at the buffet, or wait till the bakery opens at the comically late hour of 10:00am, when you of course want to be on the slopes.) Anyway, I’d suggest packing some of your own bentos, or be prepared to pay. ¥¥¥¥¥¥"

"Great place. Nice staff. Welcoming to foreigners and close to the station."

"The hotel is dated. Mattress are hard. Prepared to pay a premium for ski in ski out but just wasn’t up to standard for the price. "
