Natural Hot Spring Sansa-no-Yu Dormy Inn Morioka
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.54 out of 5 (1,982 reviews). Families favor the hotel for its communal bath, with one guest reporting that the whole family was completely satisfied. Guests praise the many free services, such as welcome sweets, ice cream after the bath and late-night yonaki soba noodles, which children enjoy too, and they rate the breakfast buffet highly for its local specialties. One point to keep in mind is that larger-built men may find the shower room cramped.

Overview
Natural Hot Spring Sansa-no-Yu Dormy Inn Morioka is a business hotel a 12-minute walk from Morioka Station and a 3-minute walk from Morioka's downtown area. On the top floor, the 10th, the natural onsen communal baths Sansa-no-Yu, separate for men and women, are free for staying guests. All 169 rooms are non-smoking. Co-sleeping is limited to one child per bed: free for ages 0 to 2, and 3,000 yen for children from age 3 through elementary school age. The Japanese-Western breakfast buffet is 1,200 yen for children from age 3 through elementary school age and free for ages 2 and under.
Rooms
All 169 rooms are non-smoking, with smoking booths on the 1st and 9th floors. Room types include Double (about 14.0-17.0 sq m, for 2 guests, with a Simmons bed measuring 140 x 195 cm; some rooms have Airweave beds), Queen (about 20.0 sq m, for 2 guests, with a bed measuring 160 x 195 cm) and Twin (about 21.0-22.0 sq m, for 2 guests, with two beds measuring 120 x 195 cm). Larger options are the Deluxe Double (about 25.0 sq m, for 3 guests), the Deluxe Twin (about 27.0 sq m, for 2 guests, with two beds measuring 120 x 195 cm) and the Triple (about 29.0 sq m, for 3 guests, with two beds measuring 120 x 195 cm plus a sofa bed). Co-sleeping is limited to one child per bed, so single-bed types such as the Double and Queen take one co-sleeping child, while two-bed Twin types take two.
Dining
Breakfast is a Japanese-Western buffet served from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. (last entry 9 a.m.) at Hatago, the restaurant on the 1st floor. Local dishes are part of the spread, including Morioka reimen (chilled noodles), a seafood rice bowl served in a jar, and hittsumi soup (soup with hand-torn wheat dough). The price is 2,500 yen for adults, 1,200 yen for children from age 3 through elementary school age, and free for ages 2 and under. Baby chairs are available in the restaurant free of charge, but the number is limited, so a request may not always be met. Please note that during cooking, the same utensils and oil are used for ingredients containing the nine specified allergenic ingredients, including egg, wheat and shrimp, so families of children with allergies should take care. Because meals are served buffet-style, the hotel does not create individual allergy-specific menus or prepare dishes with particular ingredients removed.
Baths
On the top floor, the 10th, the natural onsen communal baths Sansa-no-Yu are separate for men and women and free for staying guests. They are open from 3 p.m. to 10 a.m. the next morning, with the sauna alone closed from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. The baths include an indoor bath, an open-air bath, a jar bath (tsubo-buro), a cold-water bath and a high-temperature sauna, but there is no private-hire bath. A children's bath set is also provided. Mixed bathing with a child is generally allowed up to age 6, so older children use the communal bath of the same gender as their parent.
Family-friendly features
Co-sleeping is limited to one child per bed, and is free for ages 0 to 2, while children from age 3 through elementary school age are charged 3,000 yen. Junior high school students and older pay the same rate as adults. If an additional futon or bed is needed, the adult rate applies. Children's room wear and slippers are available to borrow free of charge. Please note that cribs for babies are not available, and the hotel does not offer childcare.
