I am a US traveler on business. I have visited Kashoen before and based on my experiences it is the only hotel I will ever stay at in Hanamaki.
The hotel staff are the kindest, most caring, and passionate people I have met at a hotel. The amenities are fantastic, the hotel food is phenomenal, and my stay is always relaxing. The rooms are very clean and comfortable.
There is a nice nature trail nearby with a river that is beautiful as well.
If you are in Hanamaki or are looking for somewhere to enjoy a peaceful weekend at, I suggest Kashoen.
The hotel is located in Hanamaki Onsen Village, which is a group of three hotels. You can go to the hot springs in all three hotels, but I only went to the Momijikan, which has both outdoor and indoor hot springs. The area is not small and very comfortable. The room is also large, and the breakfast is rich in variety, with Japanese and Western food. There are also sukiyaki, local milk and ice cream. The hotel also has free folk performances in the lobby every night, which is very unique. If it is spring and summer, the rose garden near the hotel should also be beautiful. A very recommended hotel. The disadvantage is that the surrounding public transportation is not very convenient. You can only make an appointment to take the free shuttle bus from the hotel to Shin-Hanamaki Station. Although there are ordinary buses, there are very few buses.
The hotel staff are very warm, polite and attentive. Very satisfied! The room I booked includes a semi-open-air bath, which is a great environment. The room was also cleaned very well. Breakfast and dinner were also very rich and delicious. Highly recommended!!!!
Great hot spring hotel. There is a shuttle bus from Morioka Station at 15:00, 500 yen per person, directly to the hotel. The hotel to Morioka Station is at 9:50 in the morning, and the journey takes 20 minutes. The hotel is very quiet, and Iwate Mountain is outside the window. The hot spring is great and worth experiencing. There are also folk performances in the evening.
The stay was smooth, we arrived at 7:30 in the evening, one berth and two meals, the food was rich and delicious, there was no more reassuring and satisfying than the dining at the accommodation, and the family said it was good.
This hotel chain features night ramen service, which is delicious.
After taking a bath, Meimei sleeps, Japanese-style relaxation holiday style, I like 😘
The experience was superb! The onsen was good and relaxing. I love that they provide yogurt drink and ice lolly. There is also complimentary soba noodles at 9:30pm. What is more important is that they have free laundry and that the status of the machines can be viewed on TV!
We had a great experience with the ski trails and facilities—well-maintained and enjoyable. The hotel price is reasonable. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable but still acceptable. The ski-in/ski-out access is a major plus. The shuttle bus makes it easy to get to Lawson for any essentials. The hotel has a dedicated Yamato counter, which is very convenient for sending gear to and from the hotel. However, there are no restaurants outside the hotel, and the dining options inside are quite pricey.
The hotel facilities are new and very clean. The room is very large, with a small living room and a large window looking out at the scenery. There is a private bath in the room, which is convenient and comfortable. The dinner was delicious, but the only drawback was that there was no replenishment of food in the buffet breakfast. We made a last reservation, but many of the food plates were already empty! Even so, the hotel overall is great and I will come back again.
The room was great, especially the indoor bath, the service staff was very good, it was worth coming again
Amazing

Very Good
GGuest UserI stayed here while visiting my hometown. I chose this hotel because I wanted to relax in a hot spring. The quality of the hot spring was excellent. The location from the open-air bath isn't the best, but it's not completely visible, so I think that actually helped me relax. It was summer, but the sounds of cicadas and cuckoos added to the resort atmosphere.
The room was spacious and clean. The amenities were more than enough. Soap and shampoo are provided at the hot spring, so you can easily enter empty-handed (just bring a towel). Towels are also provided in the room.
I booked a breakfast-included plan, so I was looking forward to it. It's a buffet, but the selection is so extensive that I was full before I could enjoy it all. The menu changes daily, so it was fun to stay multiple nights.
The lobby also offers free drinks and popsicles, which is a great service for families with children.
The only downside is the Wi-Fi. While there is free Wi-Fi on each floor, it's really poorly connected. And even when I thought I had it, it would disconnect immediately. The signal was poor, so I would notice it disconnecting before I knew it. This needs to be improved; Wi-Fi is available! Despite advertising it as such, it was practically nonexistent.
The voices of tourists were loud late at night. I think they were Chinese, but even though it was past midnight I could hear them doing something in the hallway and it made it difficult to sleep.
However, overall it was a good hotel, and although I was traveling alone this time, I would like to bring my family next time.

GGuest UserGreat location for hikers on the Michinoku Coastal Trail. We booked the stay with dinner and breakfast, and the dinner was an outstanding multi-course kaiseki style meal. The onsen is a great relief after a hard day of hiking too.
GGuest UserI loved my stay at this hotel! The staff were absolutely incredible, the room was very spacious with a western style room attached to an 8 tatami tea room, and floor to ceiling windows highlighting the snowy exterior. The onsen with indoor and outdoor pools were fantastic, and most people staying at the hotel wore yukata which gave the whole experience a tranquil vibe. The bus from Morioka goes directly to the hotel. It was a perfect traditional Japanese hotel.
PPauline YenThe quality of the open-air bath here is quite good, we like it very much 💕 Although the hotel building feels old-fashioned, it is well maintained. The room we stayed in should have been built later and is a bit far away from the large bathing area. We can just enjoy the exhibitions of the hotel and artists. Paintings and beautiful scenery along the way 👍
GGuest UserExperience full marks. The hot spring is very good. There are few people and quiet. It is also convenient to ski. The flexible refund and change price in advance is also a little advantage compared with other platforms. Go again next snow season
Disadvantages: The public area is small, and the dining still has to go to the crown to choose a lot.
But there's a connection to the crown.
Slide in and out of position a little further from the crown (from the high-end cable car)

PPak Ming ChanIt's super L, each room has a private bath directly connected to the source of hot springs, and the bathroom always exudes the scent of cypress. The room is large and well-equipped, ensuring full comfort.
The hotel also has two paid massage rooms. The female technicians at Yui no Hana can accurately find the tired parts and acupuncture points. The massage is very relaxing and the price is reasonable. I strongly recommend you to give it a try.
