Richmond Hotel Morioka Ekimae
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.57 out of 5 (1,389 reviews). Guests report attentive care even when traveling with children under school age, and say they were able to relax, with cribs available to borrow and rooms roomy enough for a stay with children. On the other hand, some point out that the stairs in the underpass and the steps along the longer walking route make it hard to get around with heavy luggage.

A diaper pail, kids' amenities for children of elementary school age and under, and pajamas are also available to borrow. Children's bath chairs can be borrowed as well, but quantities are limited, so please contact the hotel in advance.
