A small ryokan near a lake, 15km from Morioka city center. Guests frequently mention the quiet natural setting away from urban noise and private onsen.
Reviews across sites repeatedly praise the 'excellent indoor and outdoor private onsen', 'stunning lake and mountain views'. Food is delicious kaiseki-style and memorable, with kind manager service often noted. Rooms are spacious, clean, with soothing hiba wood scent.
Some mention lack of curtains making light blocking hard, or spacious rooms feeling chilly. A few note issues with meal composition or serving.
Best for couples or small groups seeking quiet relaxation.
