Recent Reviews in Obonai

Natsuse Onsen Miyakowasure

10/10 Excellent

"This property was incredible from the staff to the food! Very zen and relaxing, gorgeous surroundings ! Food was Michelin star quality."

Kamenoi Hotel Tazawako

10/10 Excellent

"breakfast and dinner were healthy and delicious. wifi super fast. bed comfortable. room clean. staff service best in class. easy self-parking. onsen good. perfect stay"

Tsunagi Onsen Shikitei

10/10 Excellent

"This was an excellent onsen hotel (we've stayed in quite a few). The room we had (Japanese style room with open air bath) was spacious, even for a family of four and included a small garden area as well as the bath. The food was exceptional - and served by incredibly friendly and helpful staff who our daughters loved engaging with. There were toys for the children that could be taken to the room and they also enjoyed watching the goldfish that swim in the indoor 'river' in the reception area. There is plenty of car parking too. The only downsides: the bathroom area in the room (i.e. WC and shower/bath, not the in-room open air bath) was a little tired, with some cracked tiles etc. And ideally they would have been able to provide a cot for our baby rather than a small futon. But would highly recommend overall."

wanoi KAKUNODATE

10/10 Excellent

"You will feel history of samurai era by staying at this property."

Tazawako Lake Resort & Onsen

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great, food was delicious and the onsen was relaxing"

Hotel Shion

10/10 Excellent

"Booked it as a place to relax and enjoy. It was a 20 min drive from the morioka station. The place was next to a river and was nice and peaceful. The hotel had 2 onsens - one on the 2nd (larger) and the 3rd. Visited the smaller one on the 3rd which also has an outdoor option, which was nice and peaceful at night. The family room on the top floor had marvellous views of the river and mountains. Rooms were clean and spacious. Futons were prepared when you go for dinner. Kaisekei dinner was excellent as well with different menus every day for our 4 day stay. Breakfast was the same everyday, but the variety was large enough. There were special activities at the hotel every night for about 2 months which were quite memorable. It the special mention must be for the staff. They are really affable and helpful and remember all the small details, like when you have food preferences (wife could not eat raw food), when your last day - and these were servers at the meal times.. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend for a place to just relax and chill"

Kashintei Shirahama

10/10 Excellent

"The food was one of the best. We stayed two nights. It would have been better, if we could choose to stay without meal, because we found 2 meals a day was too much."

Katakuri no Hana

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing views and got to experience the full traditional ryokan/onsen experience. Staff was very nice especially to foreigners."
