ART HOTEL Morioka

Located a 7-minute walk from Morioka Station and easily accessible from the expressway interchange and airport, this hotel is an ideal base for exploring Iwate and Morioka. Nearby attractions are within walking distance, and on the way from Morioka Station to the hotel, guests can take in the scenic view of Mt. Iwate and the Kitakami River from Kaiunbashi Bridge.

The hotel offers seven room types designed with motifs inspired by Morioka’s nature, culture, and traditional crafts, accommodating a wide range of needs, from sightseeing to business travel. Triple rooms with three semi-double beds are also available and are ideal for families and groups.

Breakfast is served on the hotel’s top floor, with views of Mt. Iwate through the windows. The breakfast buffet features an abundance of seasonal ingredients and a wide selection of Iwate specialties, including the “Three Great Noodles of Morioka”—wanko soba, Morioka reimen, and Morioka jajamen—as well as hittsumi soup. This menu filled with the flavors of Iwate provides an energizing start to the day. For lunch and dinner, visit one of the hotel’s three Japanese, Western, and Chinese restaurants, including Chinese Restaurant Goka, where traditional Cantonese cuisine is served in a casual setting, and Japanese Restaurant Kaijuso, whose interior evokes a Japanese garden.
