Overview
Hotel Metropolitan Morioka Honkan is a 1-minute walk from the North Exit of JR Morioka Station, and a dedicated passage inside the Fezan station building lets you reach check-in without getting wet on rainy or snowy days. Cribs are available to borrow free of charge, in limited numbers, and children who have not yet started elementary school can co-sleep without bedding. Breakfast is a Japanese-Western buffet at 2,420 yen for adults, 1,210 yen for elementary school children, and free for children under school age. There is no communal bath or onsen, so guests bathe in the en-suite bathroom in their room.
Rooms
The main building's rooms center on 13 sq m single types for 1 guest, including the Standard Single and the Moderate Single "R," "S" and "L," and extend to 20 sq m Deluxe Singles, City Singles (double use / studio twin), Moderate Doubles and 25 sq m twins. All rooms are non-smoking. The Standard Single and Moderate Single "R" each have one bed measuring 120 cm wide by 200 cm long. Families of three can choose the Twin + Extra Bed (Triple) room, 25 sq m for 1 to 3 guests, with two beds on ultra-high-density pocket-coil mattresses 120 cm wide plus one extra bed. Cribs are available to borrow free of charge for children; there are 2 of them, and because numbers are limited, guests are asked to note the request in the comments field when booking. Rooms are also equipped with an air purifier with a humidifying function.
Dining
Breakfast is a Japanese-Western buffet served at JUEN on the 4th floor from 6:30 to 10 a.m., and it can also be taken at Giovanni on the 2nd floor of the New Wing annex, from 6:45 to 10 a.m. Prices are 2,420 yen for adults and 1,210 yen for elementary school children, and it is free for children under school age. Built around ingredients from Iwate Prefecture, the menu follows a theme of breakfast that is gentle on the body, with Chinese rice porridge and steamed dishes alongside northern Tohoku regional specialties such as hittsumi soup, senbei soup and kiritanpo soup, rotated monthly, for a spread of about 60 items. For group meals, the private room Oryu can seat up to 10 people. Room service is not offered.
Family-Friendly Points
Children who have not yet started elementary school can co-sleep, up to 1 child per bed and without bedding: up to 1 child in a room with a double bed, and up to 2 children in a room with twin beds.
