Aishinkan
Relax in the one-of-a-kind Jomon baths and savor the flavors of Iwate.
Aishinkan is located in the Morioka Tsunagi Onsen district, known as Morioka’s hot spring retreat. In this peaceful setting overlooking Lake Gosho, guests can immerse themselves in Iwate Prefecture’s rich natural beauty, culture, and traditional atmosphere.
A variety of Japanese-style guest rooms combine traditional design with modern comfort. The Main Building primarily features Japanese-style rooms, while the Annex offers modern Japanese rooms with a serene atmosphere created by Ryukyu tatami flooring and comfortable Simmons beds. The spacious special rooms on the top floor are also ideal for families and groups.
The popular buffet brings together ingredients from across the prefecture. Guests can savor fresh seafood from the Sanriku coast, meat and vegetables raised on the fertile land, and other specialties from this region blessed with an abundance of food. At the live kitchen, freshly prepared dishes are served one after another, making even the aromas and sounds part of the meal. In addition to the quality cuisine, the inclusive service offers unlimited refills of local sake, other alcoholic beverages, and soft drinks.
The inn’s hot springs draw alkaline water known for its cleansing properties, leaving the skin feeling smooth and moisturized after bathing. The distinctive Garden Jomon Bath is another popular feature, with an array of baths in different styles, including an open-air bath inspired by Jomon-period ruins and a deep standing bath. Explore these one-of-a-kind baths while reflecting on the passage of time through the ages.
