R&B Hotel Moriokaekimae

R&B Hotel Morioka Ekimae is an accommodation located a 2-minute walk from JR Tohoku Shinkansen "Morioka Station." With many attractions around Morioka Station, it’s a recommended base for sightseeing in and around Morioka. Nearby sights include Teramachi-dori (about 10 minutes by bus), an area lined with more than 10 temples and shrines. The streetscape features Nanbu ironware streetlights, large zelkova trees, and stone-paved-style sidewalks, creating a tasteful scene together with the wooden temple architecture; it has also been selected as one of the "100 Best Roads in Japan." Also about 10 minutes by bus is Morioka Hachimangu Shrine, recognizable by its large torii gate. With 12 subsidiary shrines, it is sometimes described as a "shrine theme park." You can pray for many kinds of blessings, from safe childbirth and academic success to matchmaking. In particular, the "Enmusubi Shrine" is said to connect not only romantic relationships but also human connections in general, and the vivid red "musubi-himo" (tying cords) add bright color. Another recommendation is to stop by the day-trip hot springs at Tsunagi Onsen for fatigue recovery and stress relief before returning to the hotel.
