Hotel New Carina

This time I thought I was just going to sleep drunk on a two-man castle tour, so I went twin. There are no regular twins available and it becomes a deluxe twin. A room with a view of the stone walls of Morioka Castle on the 16th floor. Yahoo Travel costs 6,400 yen per person for 12,600 hours per night. Thank you very much.

The hotel is in walking distance from Morioka Station(about 10minutes) and has good access to many famous sight seeing spots in Morioka. I reserved a room on higher stories(15F) paying extra to see the view but it did not worth ti. Regular rooms are OK.

The hotel is closer to JR Morioka Station (about 10min walk), but close to Morioka's main street (Morioka Odori, literally translated as "Morioka big street", lots of restaurant, bars, convenience stores) and Morioka Castle. The room and bath room are a little spacious compared to a standard business hotel in Japan (note "a little"). The bed is comfy and you can borrow memory form pillows from the front desk if available. By the front desk shelf, you can grab mouthwash, hair tie, bath salt, ...etc. The biggest win is free rental bicycle, but there are only four available. We couldn't rent over weekend because other guests are renting more than a day. I imagine they're short supply in summer. I'd recommend this hotel as this is the cheapest hotel near JR Morioka station and located major sight-seeing spots.
