Shinnamari Onsen Musubi no Yado Airinkan

Set along a mountain stream and surrounded by lush natural scenery that changes with the seasons, this hot spring ryokan offers a peaceful retreat. Its biggest draw is the hot spring water, drawn from three high-quality private sources and available in 17 baths. Guests can choose a bathing style to suit the occasion, from spacious public baths with relaxing stream views to open-air rock baths, standing baths, and private baths for families.

Don’t miss the cuisine, made with plenty of seasonal ingredients from local Iwate. At Satoyama Dining, built around the concept of “a satoyama celebration,” enjoy as much as you like of the chef’s creative menu in buffet style. The traditional Japanese set meal is also popular, featuring Hanamaki’s local specialty Platinum Pork (Hakkinton) as the main dish, along with generous portions of delicacies from the mountains and sea.

With 14 room types, including guest rooms with open-air baths and Western-style rooms with beds, the accommodations create a relaxing stay in a modern, calm atmosphere that cherishes Japanese aesthetics. Enjoy a memorable, uniquely Iwate stay at this standalone inn, enriched by nature, hot springs, food, inviting spaces, and heartfelt hospitality.
