Shikitei is a favourite of mine. Traditional service and ryokan experience. Everyone makes sure your stay is always excellent and once again I thank everyone at Shikitei for yet another wonderful stay

I wholeheartedly recommend this onsen to anyone visiting morioka, even if for a couple of nights only. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful, and the service was the best we had experienced before in any hotel or onsen. We were picked up from the bus stop with a shuttle service run by the hotel, which was fantastic. We had booked the room with the private onsen and it was just perfect. The public onsen is also extremely good The food was delicious also, with their ichibo steak and their ice coffee being very delicious. Definitely recommend!!!

Spacious room, delicious and nutritious dinner and breakfast and great onsen.

Everything about this place is beautiful! The staff is amazing. We felt very taken care of and so lucky to be there. Highly recommended!

A delightful onsen with excellent food and an amazing staff.

Shikitei is a traditional style ryokan in every way. This was my second visit and as before, the staff were second to none. They were warm efficient and welcoming. Genuine Japanese hospitality. Food was excellent and again the staff were always there to help. Thanks to everyone at Shikitei

Shiikitei Is quiet and relaxed. The staff are fantastic the food and facilities are excellent. I had the best private outdoor hot spring bath with my room I have ever seen. This alone would bring me back to Shikitei Thanks to everyone

If you do not drive, there is a bus that brings you from Morioka Station to the foothill where Shikitei is located. From that bus stop, there is a shuttle bus that brings you to Shikitei. It is otherwise within walking distance although it can be a little cumbersome if you are dragging some luggages. The ryokan itself is very well-maintained and clean. The service was top-notch with a staff member ready to receive you after check-in and taking the elevator to your floor and would guide you to your room. The food was in the kaiseki-style. It was great. Absolutely no complaints. The one downside, perhaps, is that there is nothing much to do in the area after dark. There is a convenience store that is supposedly within walking distance. Although you have to walk on a main road, it is not very well lit.

It is an authentic Japanese inn, with modern convenience. Their service was great. I can recommend this inn to anybody.

This an excellent onsen inn, fantastic staff, excellent food, top knotch baths, spacious rooms (we stayed in a Japanese style room). Though we speak Japanese, we noted that the were prepared as if we did not sine we made our reservation from the US. Great place to go if you want a truly Japanese hot spring experience

Great stuf. Meals are delicious. I love flowers decorated all around the facility. And futon was very comfortable. We enjoyed the hot spring so much.

I'm an onsen lover and this place really has it all. Sweetest experience ever.

I've got to say that I love this ryokan. The room was spacious for two, and clean. The food was delicious. I even kept a menu, which I did not understand much (I don't speak Japanese), because it was lovely. The surrounding was very beautiful in the autumn. The staff there spoke English quite well. They were very helpful, even helping me book a restaurant for the dinner. They came to understand that I was not comfortable having meals in the bedroom, they set the breakfast in another room when it was available. They were also very friendly, just like a family. I remembered one night when my husband and I could not find the restaurant we planned to have dinner, it seemed that the whole staff knew and asked us about that when they met us. I will definitely come back to this ryokan once I have a chance.

We had one night at this hotel and it could not be faulted. The only negative is its location which is not the most convenient. It can be reached by bus and the hotel will come and get you from the bus stop. By taxi it is about 35 minutes and cost yen 4500 from the main railway station. The Onsen was really lovely and the food good.

2回目の宿泊でしたが、サービス、お料理、施設ともにとても気持ちよく過ごすことができました！従業員の方はどなたもよく気遣ってくれますし、すれ違う時も笑顔で対応してくれます。 ご飯は夜も朝も美味しかったです。ご飯がもっちり炊けていたのと、鮎の素麺が特に美味しかったです。お風呂は夜も気持ち良いですが、朝は木々の緑がきれいでした。 また、周辺の旅館と協賛しているさんさ踊りのイベントも楽しかったです！

We had a wonderful stay! The food was absolutely delicious, and our room was impeccably clean with a gorgeous treetop view. The staff's exceptional politeness and helpfulness made our experience seamless and memorable.

いつもいい環境で癒やされて居ます。また、宜しくお願い致します。

こじんまりとして豪華ではなかったが、とても清潔で料理も美味しく、旅館の方のおもてなしもとても良かったです。露天風呂は時間的に、独り占めできました。とてもリラックスできました。

旅館がキレイでスタッフの対応もとてもよかったです！また泊まりたいと思いました！

宿泊日が丁度還暦の誕生日で、お祝い旅行で訪れました。夕食時に赤いちゃんちゃんこと帽子を用意して下さっていて感激しました。プレゼントもありがとうございました。夕食も朝食も個室でゆっくり頂けましたし、とにかく全て美味しかったです。お部屋のお茶菓子も美味しかったです。お風呂は24時間利用できるので、3回入りました。肌がツルツルになり大満足です。スタッフは皆さま親切丁寧で、大変心地良く過ごせました。良い還暦記念になりました。ありがとうございました。
