Overview
Hachimantai Onsen Pension Moose is a small three-star pension with just 6 rooms, set in Hachimantai Onsenkyo.

There are 2 indoor baths, each booked by one room at a time, so families with babies and young children can take their time in the water without worrying about other guests. A lounge where a vacuum-tube amplifier and JBL speakers play analog sound, handmade dishes made with local ingredients, and a supply of games, puzzles and comics all make this an easy place for a family to unwind.
