Hotel Metropolitan Morioka (Main Building)

Hotel Metropolitan Morioka Main Building is the original tower of the two-building Metropolitan Morioka complex, operating alongside the newer New Wing under the JR East Hotels brand. The Main Building is connected to both Morioka Station and the New Wing via internal corridors, meaning guests in either tower share access to combined dining and conference facilities without stepping outdoors — a meaningful comfort during Morioka's winter months, when temperatures regularly fall below freezing and the station plaza can be icy.

The building's architecture reflects the premium business-hotel design standards of its construction era: a substantial mid-rise profile with a formal lobby, marble-accented public areas, and a visual quality that distinguishes it from the broader cluster of business hotels on Moriokaekimae-dori. The JR East Hotels brand positions both Metropolitan Morioka towers collectively as the city's anchor business and conference hotel.

Room categories span standard, superior, twin, double, and executive configurations. All rooms include complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen televisions, individual climate control, and en-suite bathrooms. Executive floor rooms add upgraded amenities, premium toiletries, and dedicated check-in service. Multiple restaurant outlets on the combined property serve Japanese cuisine, Western-style meals, and a morning breakfast buffet incorporating local Iwate produce — including dairy from the Shizukuishi plateau and prepared wagyu beef dishes.

Conference rooms in the Main Building accommodate business seminars, corporate events, and professional gatherings of varying sizes. The combined Metropolitan Morioka property's scale makes it the de facto headquarters hotel for major regional conferences and prefectural government functions in Iwate. English-speaking concierge staff can assist with rail bookings directly adjacent to Morioka Station's ticket counters.
