Four Points Flex by Sheraton Morioka

This hotel is a clean, tidy, and very quiet budget-friendly option, just a 5-minute walk from Morioka Station West Exit. Breakfast is served downstairs at the café – a Western-style set meal with refillable coffee. I stayed in Morioka for a week and really enjoyed the peaceful, relaxed, and subtle atmosphere. It was very comfortable. I even got to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom at Morioka Castle Park!

The Four Points by Sheraton Morioka is conveniently located very close to the JR station. Just exit West Exit and walk straight, then you can take the pedestrian bridge on the 3rd floor directly to the hotel's sign, take the elevator down, and you're there. The hotel is quite new, and my single room was well-designed; I could fit a 28-inch suitcase at the foot of the bed. The window opens, and the bed was comfortable. It was very quiet during my stay, likely due to lower occupancy, making it perfect for solo travelers. The only downside is that it's a bit of a walk to the nearest convenience store.
