We loved everything about our stay here! The location is very peaceful, the Japanese style room was very prettily decorated and spacious, and the Miyako and her husband were fabulous hosts. They were so friendly and helpful, and made us feel very well cared for. Miyako prepared delicious and generous meals for us that were absolutely beautiful. She was also a huge help with arranging luggage transfer for us as we began our planned hike along the Michinoku trail. And she and her husband offered to drive us to and from Hachinohe station at a very reasonable rate, which is a big help and big time saver because Hachinohe is very spread out.

I love how the space feels like coming back home, the owner is really kind, funny and I enjoy talking with him and other travelers. We sat all together and had some fun.time. The room I stayed in was a dormitory, the futon mattress was comfortable. I enjoyed the location as well. Even though it's a 30 min walk to the station, it's a really historical area and you will enjoy walking around. I highly recommend it!.

The moment I walked in, I was greeted by the staff with warm smiles, and I immediately knew this was going to be a wonderful guesthouse. The rooms and common areas have a very cozy and welcoming atmosphere. One thing I especially loved was the handmade room signs and decorations left by previous travelers, which add a unique charm and make the place even more special. This was one of the most comfortable and enjoyable guesthouses I have ever stayed in. It is very easy to connect with other guests. Even though I visited on weekdays, I ended up spending time with around 4 to 10 people, sharing drinks, going for walks, and enjoying great conversations together. The staff were also very proactive in taking photos for guests, which helped create and preserve wonderful memories of the trip. The owner used to be a chef, and if you ask, they can prepare dinner for you. I highly recommend it. Being able to enjoy local dishes made with ingredients purchased locally was one of the highlights of my stay. The guests come from many different backgrounds and countries. During my visit, around 20–30% of the guests were Japanese. I would absolutely love to stay here again.

Beautiful ski lodge, the wood workshop made it even more charming. The room was clean and comfortable and simple but very cozy. They had everything you need and on top of that an onsen style bath. The host was very kind and generous and I left with a big smile! I wished I could stay longer!

A pension close (very close) to the ski slope. Excellent host, who drove me to the slope very day. Even tho you could walk it. Basic, but everything needed for a few days of skiing. An ofuro meant an achey body was ready for the next day.

The host made the stay into an amazing japanese experience. We had a cooking evening with traditional japanese food and a morning walk to the different local areas in Morioka. The host made a great effort to introduce us to the authentic part of Morioka also by sharing all his favorite spots with us. We tried many local coffe places, and delicious local food in the area thanks to him. Cannot recommend this place enough. The house/room was very charming and very clean and pleasant.

Lovely host with some English communication skills - expect a Japanese-English mix, though this ought not dissuade. Smooth check-in with a tour of the facilities. Most essential amenities provided. Facilities were clean. Local products can be bought at the Guesthouse including apple juice, original Japanese honey (made by the next-door family), and miniature instruments. One of us tried a shamisen lesson with the host for ¥3000, which was fun and interesting.

Staff were 10/10. Great coffee. Good kitchen. Nice size fridge freezer. Comfortable beds. Privacy curtains. Dorm is OK size, and there's a toilet within the dormitory. The guesthouse is located in front of the train tracks so if you are a light sleeper I suggest using ear plugs. Otherwise a quiet area. It is far from the station and city centre and anyone who books this guesthouse should know that already. Walking distance to two big supermarkets.

To be honest, it's really not the best guest house here, but the ownerエコさん, she is son kind plus, I 've met so many friends forms overseas and the local Japanese here. All combined together, I say this is a worth staying guesthouse.
