나마리 온센 후지산 료칸

We stayed here for one night and wished it was for longer. Staff was helpful (there was one person who spoke English but everyone was really helpful). Room was simple and clean; we stayed in a Japanese-style room with futon on the floor that was warm and comfortable. Baths were fantastic; the "white monkey bath" was really unique, deep underground standing-depth mixed bath, but the open air bath was the best, great views and nice hot temperature. Dinner and breakfast was great; lots of different bites that were all delicious Getting around was pretty easy, with multiple options. We took a city bus there that picked up at the Hanamaki station and dropped us off on the main road outside the ryokan, and took a shuttle service back that dropped us off back at the station. I believe both also stop at the Shin-Hanamaki shinkansen station. Bonus - check out that Kenji Miyazawa museum in town! Will definitely return!
