Hotel Mori no Kaze Oshuku

Hotel Mori no Kaze Oshuku is a hotel set in rich nature with panoramic views of Mt. Iwate. Along with hot spring facilities—including a spectacular open-air bath that feels like it is suspended in the sky—you can fully enjoy the flavors of Iwate’s sea and mountains. An affiliated facility, "Flower & Garden Mori no Kaze," was added in 2014. This is one of Japan’s largest full-scale gardening parks, and even non-guests can enter easily. The vast grounds are divided into areas such as the Main Garden, Entrance Garden, Chelsea Garden, and Sweets Garden, offering beautiful seasonal scenery. In winter, illuminations create a romantic atmosphere where you can unwind. The hotel itself offers spacious, luxurious interiors, including a festival-themed plaza recommended for families, where you can enjoy a nostalgic ambiance. Near the entrance there is also a nature walking path with seasonal activities such as catching char (iwana) and mushroom gathering, letting you experience the outdoors. No matter how you choose to spend your time, it’s a place that’s sure to be soothing.
