A 10-minute walk from central Morioka  On the banks of the Nakatsugawa River… An inn brimming with Morioka charm, available to one group per day “Oyakuen-mae”

Enjoy a timeless experience at this inn, surrounded by the garden of the Nanbu family, lords of the Morioka domain (now the Morioka Chūō Community Centre Garden), and the Nakatsugawa River, an iconic symbol of Morioka that has flowed through the heart of the castle town since the Edo period. The strolling garden across the street, just a one-minute walk away, is said to have been called the “Oyakuen” because it was used to grow medicinal herbs for Morioka Castle. Located just before that, this house displays a sign that reads “御薬園前—Oyakuenmae—” and began offering private lodging in April 2026. We have renovated this 50-year-old building into a space that blends the old with the new. Based on the concept of a home away from home where you can enjoy Iwate as if you lived here and want to come back again and again, we will do our utmost to help make your stay a heartwarming experience.
