Great stay but a bit off the beaten path
Reviewed By Hong69Stayed at the Sansuikaku wing (which is the newer and upmarket part) but I would suggest to visit the other 2 wings which offer a glimpse of how a traditional house. Multiple onsens throughout all 3 wings - great variety! There was even 3 smaller private onsens for families/couples. Enjoyed the big rooms (with river views; toilet but no shower), service and the multi-course japanese dinner too. If I want to be picky, it will be that its not the easiest to get too by train. You can drop off at either Hanamaki or Shin-Hanamaki stations and there will be scheduled buses to pick you up (1 run by the onsen association and another by the Osawa). However, you need to take note of the specific timings. Otherwise, I was told that a taxi from Shin-Hanamaki would set me back about 6000 Yen.

Luxurious Stay
Reviewed By TanSSWe were picked up by he hotel shuttle from Shin-Hanamaki Stn. There’s a tourist desk at the station you can make enquiries if in doubt. The reception on arrival was attentive and efficient. The low rise complex looked new and blended in with the surroundings. In the center courtyard was a landscaped garden which looked very pretty after the brief snowfall. Facilities were spick and span. We had a large well appointed western bedroom overlooking greenery. We took the walking trail to the waterfall and the remnant autumn colours were still beautiful. It snowed briefly and the landscape was beautiful. The indoor and outdoor onsen overlooked autumn color foliage. Onsen water was silky smooth, ph9 . There is a sauna too. Meals were in a dining room and were pretty good. We stayed 2 days and the menu was changed. Expensive but worth the visit.

Nice onsen and good food
Reviewed By Peter CWe had a very good experience in this hotel. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Lobby and communal area is large. The onsen places are spacious & relaxing. Taking a half board package is a MUST because the buffet dinner is unexpectedly rich of choices comparable to 6 star hotels.
5. Hotel Folkloro Hanamaki Towa

It is the perfect Hanamaki hotel in northern Tohoku and Iwate Prefecture tourism and business hub of. Please enjoy the idyllic countryside feel that Kenji Miyazawa loved hometown "Ihatov" Iwate-Hanamaki loose and beautiful nature of the body full. Cute staff "goat brother and sister," We also look forward to.
Simple comforts, authentic local touches, peaceful surroundings, relaxing hot springs
Reviewed By mzungurashiiHotel Folkloro has for years delivered simple comforts and excellent service, a notable find in Towa, a rural little farm village. The hotel is a little getaway right off the highway and a walk from the local train station, which is an easy 10-15 minutes' ride from the Tohoku shinkansen line. A great location for visiting anywhere in Tsuchizawa (the little village, with one lovely coffee shop, local pub, local restaurant, farm shops, etc.) and the museums in the area. I have stayed several times over the past dozen years, and I frequently visited the adjacent hot springs for years before that. Hotel Folkloro is a small rural hotel (now incorporated into a small chain), but delivers bigger town quality service and is very well maintained. The rooms are neatly done and have all necessary elements, but they are fairly basic and some can be narrow -- at least, narrower than my expectations in a farm village where space shouldn't come at a huge premium. Bathrooms feel cramped, but the whole point is to ignore the tub, put on the robe & slippers, and go soak the hot springs down the hall. Also, they have REALLY fast internet if you connect by ethernet cable in the lobby, where there are little desks. I've done serious work from there... in a robe. I can't remember how good the wifi is. The little local touches and public areas are what stand out to me: good personalised service, clean and neat everything, natural wood and minimalist toned interior design, two hilarious pet goats in a little fenced area in the back, super comfy couches to melt into and read a book around windows overlooking simple manicured landscaping and rice fields, quiet and clean air and nature all around, a little shop with delicious high-quality local snacks like ice cream from the nearby dairy and handmade gifts, a lovely fresh breakfast buffet run by the same the husband & wife for many years, a surprisingly extensive menu and nice little bar stocking local beer... and of course, down the hallway (which itself is not so nice... just a covered walkway, chilly in cold seasons) there is the hot springs around which the hotel was built. An authentic local experience, it's small but well maintained, the water is excellent (and considered medicinal), and you'll be alongside local residents just coming in for a morning bath. Women and men alternate sides, and the rotenburu outdoor area is especially nice in the winter when the snow is falling. The masseur in residence is also excellent. (The food at the restaurant in the hot springs is not great... just go back to the hotel, or across the parking lot there is a small freestanding restaurant offering locally sourced food.)

Inacurate description, inacurate pictures, CAUTION.
Reviewed By Victor CHalf of hotel is ryokan, other half is called TOUJIBU (unhealthy, dirty, abandonned-looking side) Caution before booking, they dont show any picture ore description of TOUJIBU on any reservation site.

A great stay!
Reviewed By Krie HI booked a Japanese room and it's a pretty big one. Room is a bit old but clean, I had a great sleep during the night. Although receptionist is cold with broken English, they have great dinner buffet friendly staff in restaurant. Surely I'll come back again! Some comment said they have very small toilet and bathroom, it's true but almost all onsen hotels remain the same design in Japan. If you want big toilet space you shouldn't have chosen to stay at an onsen hotel.

Hotel
3 in 1
Reviewed By ZenDark30Confusing at first because this hotel is one of a trio connected by a walkway. They all begin with the name Hanamaki Onsen which makes our hotel name redundant. After checking in we wandered around all three hotels and scoped out the restaurants and onsens. Our favorites were the onsens with the outdoor baths. We arrived about 1:15 and after checking in we asked about lunch. Apparently they stop serving at 1:30 and close at 2. The receptionist called the restaurant and asked but we were 5 minutes too late. Hungry and held captive by our locale we went to the nearby coffee shop and grabbed a sandwich. This held us until dinner. We opted for the package of a Japanese style room, dinner and breakfast. The room was comfortable and separated by a shoji screen and a small western style table and two chairs. The bathroom is small but with the onsen it doesn’t need to be anything more than functional. There’s also the typical amenities of fridge, hot water pot, safe, slippers and robe for the onsen. The buffet meals are delicious with lots of choices from giant crab legs to fresh melon and from beef tenderloin to scallops mornay. They had personal sterno burners for crab and rice and seafood on a scallop shell. You can let it cook while you fill your plate. With hundreds of rooms, the location caters to weddings and conventions with accouterments for the former including a wardrobe of gowns and tuxedos. There’s even a chapel and outdoor area for hosting special events. As an English only speaking foreigner communication can be sketchy and all Japanese maps are limited without Google translator. Choose this if you enjoy an all inclusive experience and onsens. The surrounding area has a tranquility that is contagious. Don’t be bashful about wearing the kimono around—everyone else does. They even have bands for wrapping the wide sleeves so you don’t accidentally dip them into your ramen. Enjoy a walk to the waterfalls and neighborhood.

Yamanogami Onsen Yuukaen is a historical hot spring inn with harmony with the rich nature of Iwate Hanamaki Onsenkyo. The calm atmosphere of natural wood and the fine technique of Miya carpenter make the lodging quaint. Please enjoy the charm of Hanamaki Onsen in the hotel facility that directs luxurious time spending with important people.
Wonderful onsen
Reviewed By JuhaUittoI've visited and stayed at numerous onsens all over Japan over the past quarter century. Yuukaen is one of the best. The natural setting in the middle of the mountains is lovely. A river runs through it and the mountains are densely forested -- they even warn about bears. The hotel is beautiful (unlike so many other of the larger onsen hotels) as are the rooms. Ours had a spacious tatami room, a side room with two Western beds, a forest viewing room, and a comfortable bathroom. The dinner and breakfast were fabulous. Most importantly, it has two excellent bath areas, both with outdoor rotemburos. Could have stayed a week.
