APA Hotel Morioka Ekimae in Morioka

The hotel is located at a very convenient spot, just opposite to the JR station, you can walk to the hotel using the pedestrian tunnel linked to the JR station and mall, with elevators which are user-friendly for travellers with big luggages.

A good experience. The staff finally arranged the highest floor (14/F) for us. Thank you so much. One comment to add: the lighting in the room entrance area is insufficient. Hope the hotel can improve.

Amazing stay with very friendly staff, even thise who are helping with breakfast. Great location just in front of the train station. The room was spacious, the bathroom had a great bathtub, and amenities were not lacking. They have the breakfast lounge open from 12-8pm, where you can work or chat or just people watch in front of the station and have coffee, tea and soda available. You can also eat your food here though the microwave is on a different floor. I would definitely come back to this hotel, as I fell in love with Morioka.

The bedding is super comfortable. Location is excellent. There is a Lawson downstairs. Very convenient.

The best one during our stay in Japan:)

That is a very good location just opposite the Morioka station and a convenient store next to the hotel via the entrance of hotel. Recommended to anyone who plan a hotel nearby the train station.

The room size is quite spacious for Japan; there's plenty of room for two 20-inch suitcases. Free toiletries are available on the first floor, including bath salts, face masks, facial cleanser, and lotion samples. The room also comes with a comfortable yukata. Breakfast is very generous, featuring local specialty Kougen milk (the hard-to-find glass bottle version), and the hotel's homemade grape-flavored milk jam is also worth a try. The hotel is connected to a convenience store on the first floor, and you can enter the hotel from Lawson using your room card (especially convenient on snowy days as the road facing the hotel's main entrance is less accessible than the convenience store's entrance). It's right opposite Morioka Station, and you can walk to Kaiun Bridge in a few minutes. From Kaiun Bridge, you get a superb view of Mount Iwate.

Near Morioka station, room is big and clean

A high-quality, perfect hotel!

You can see the hotel building right across from the North Exit of the station. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and all the amenities are carefully selected and of high quality, which shows how much thought the management puts into things.

The soundproofing is excellent, making it very quiet!

There's a pretty large supermarket, AEON Town, within a 10-minute walk.

I stayed here for three nights and had a great experience! The location is directly opposite Morioka Station; you can see the building as soon as you exit the station. There's also an underground passage leading right to the hotel entrance, so you don't have to walk far even on snowy days. Right outside the hotel, there's a Lawson and a Matsuya, and it's very close to several famous restaurants near the station.

My room this time was on the highest floor, the eighteenth, with a view overlooking Morioka Station. The room included shampoo, body wash, etc. Other amenities were available for self-service in the lobby downstairs, with a wide variety, many of which were from POLA. There was also a multi-charger in the drawer, which was very convenient. I didn't take photos of the room's interior, but it looked pretty much like the booking pictures.

The breakfast was abundant. Besides the usual items, there were also various Morioka-specialty noodles to try. If you don't use your breakfast voucher, you can exchange it at the front desk for a boxed pastry to take away, which is a thoughtful touch.
