Skiers and snowboarders might want to test out the slopes at Appi Kogen Ski Resort, a skiing spot located 3 mi (4.9 km) from central Hachimantai. If you master the slopes, Shimokura Ski Area and Panorama Ski Area are also just a short drive away.
If you're planning a bit of sightseeing during your trip, head to Morioka Castle— just one of the landmarks located 0.8 mi (1.3 km) from central Morioka.
Ski the fall line at Shizukuishi Ski Place located 6 mi (9.7 km) from central Shizukuishi. If you master the slopes, Amihari Onsen Ski Area and Iwate Kogen Snow Park are both nearby.
This was our favorite stop of our two weeks in Japan. Staff were kind and helpful. The onsen was amazing. Food and drinks were great. Really nice stay here!

Off all the chain hotels we stayed in in Japan, this is our favorite, so much so that we plan to look for Daiwa hotels now when we book for future trips. Nice big lobby, bilingual staff, easy check in/out with automation, nice rooms, modern and larger bathroom. Everything seemed upgrade level. Definitely enjoyed staying there and it was near the station with lots of eateries to choose from.

Cute little inn, run by really nice people. Dinners were fantastic—different every night. The staff were really nice and even gave us a ride to the train station early the morning we left. The inn is across the street from the resort shuttle, so it’s easy to get to and from Appi Resort.

Very charming hotel in downtown Hachinohe. Walkable to the art museum, the JR line, and multiple dining options. If you like fruit, there is a fancy fruit parlor on the walk to the JR train. Staff is multi-lingual, attentive, and caring. The top floor amenities (popsicles, probiotics) were a big hit with our 12 year old.

The hotel was beautiful on its own, and was in a perfect spot to enjoy nature!
The entire grounds were spotless, and on more than one occasion we saw workers sweeping even the road outside the hotel.
The staff were quite friendly and helpful (even when we couldn't communicate easily because of language).
Our room was a traditional Japanese-type, so there were futon beds placed directly on the tatami floor, and the bathroom is also Japanese style. If you're comfortable going nude, the communal...

It's a very nice affordable business or travelers hotel. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. Breakfast is always delicious. They have a nice on-site onsen. And they have a fair amount of washers and dryers if you need to do laundry. It is my go-to hotel every year
