4-Star Hotels in Aomori Prefecture, Japan

This is our second time staying at this hotel in two years. The location is excellent, right above the train station. The facilities are new, clean, and upscale. They also offer laundry service, which is a paid amenity. On the 6th floor, there's a hot spring, as well as private hot spring baths, and various beauty treatments. There's also a lounge where you can enjoy views of Aomori Bay and drink your fill of complimentary apple juice.

I booked a Japanese-style tatami room. I originally planned to visit Mount Hakkoda and Sukayu Onsen, but unfortunately, it was snowing heavily, making it impossible to get around without a car. So, I ended up just watching TV and building snowmen at the hotel the whole time. The hotel itself has good views and dining options. There's a small convenience store at the hotel (selling simple food like instant noodles and peanuts, ski equipment, etc., but no daily necessities). The bathing facilities are communal, though there's also a shower in the room, but no toiletries like shower gel. I recommend using the public bathhouse to experience a Japanese inn's bathhouse, which has indoor and outdoor pools, plus free ice cream. There's a shuttle bus from the hotel to Aomori Station at 9:00 AM, and another from Aomori Station to the hotel at 3:30 PM (pre-booking required). A taxi from Shin-Aomori Station to the hotel costs 15,000 JPY. During the snow season, you can't get an Uber at all, so you're reliant on the hotel shuttle. This hotel is suitable for skiers. For sightseeing, I recommend visiting during the non-snowy season. (P.S. The snow-covered mountains in Aomori are truly magnificent, and the snowy scenery is beautiful.)

Cozy room, great buffet breakfast served! 👍🏻 Upon check-in, the hotel lobby offers complimentary 100% Aomori famous apple juice as a welcome drink to guests. 🤠 It's absolutely delicious! 👍🏻 The location is central, and it's about a 13-minute walk from the subway station 🚉 to the hotel. There are plenty of convenience stores and restaurants within a few minutes' walk of the hotel at night, which is great! 👍🏻👍🏻 If I ever come back to Aomori, I'll definitely stay here again. The 'Sleeping Buddha' ceiling design in the hotel lobby is beautiful! 😻

I've always been a fan of the Daiwa Roynet brand, having stayed at their hotels in Kyoto, Kobe, Aomori, and other cities. This time, I accidentally left my iPad at the hotel. Trip.com staff were very proactive in helping me contact them, and the hotel was also very responsive, agreeing to arrange shipment after the Japanese holidays. I hope to receive my iPad smoothly.

(+) Had a comfortable 2-night stay here. The lobby and lounge are very comfy, our room was spacious with a nice view of Aomori city and the sea! Would recommend guests to check-in before 5PM so you can try several apple juices from the lounge. Breakfast was great with many local dishes including the famous Kaiyaki-miso and Ika-menchi. The staff were very nice, professional, and accommodating. Would love to stay here again next time. Parking space is also a plus point (1,000 JPY/ night) (-) The location is somewhat far from the station, 20 mins by foot or 5 mins by car. Taking a taxi from Aomori station costed us about 1,100 JPY.

Very beautiful clean hotel with great apple onsen bath! Excellent dinner and breakfast. Shamisen performance was entertaining too. We enjoyed staying here!

The hotel is about 600 meters from Aomori Station. It's a bit inconvenient if you're dragging luggage, but it's very close to the product館 (local specialty center). The room rate isn't expensive, though the bathroom facilities are a bit old, and the hot and cold water taps on the sink are separate. The breakfast is decent, but I feel it's not as extensive as it was a year ago. The worst part was the electric kettle in the room. It didn't automatically turn off when the water boiled, so it boiled all my mineral water dry, which was a waste.

The room was spacious, and the bathroom was large and clean. The hotel is conveniently located with a bus stop and train station right downstairs, making travel easy. The hotel pub was excellent – good drinks and great value, so good we went two nights in a row.

Wonderful ski-in and ski-out location at Aomori Spring Ski Resort. The room was spacious and comfortable, with dedicated ski lockers for each guest. Food was a catered buffet which I feel can be improved. The dishes weren't particular delicious but neither was it bad, just mediocre. If you have a chance to book the Sukiyaki meal, please do! It has an additional fee but is totally worth it.

The hotel is directly opposite the aquarium and next to Asamushi Onsen. It's a 5-minute walk, and after a soak, there's a market selling all sorts of apple juice and fruit souvenirs. There weren't many guests staying at the hotel, probably due to the heavy snowfall in Aomori. Both breakfast and dinner were Japanese set meals. The sukiyaki and sashimi were excellent. It was just us and one other couple dining. In the evening, there was a Nebuta performance and sanshin (three-stringed instrument) music. Even with so few guests, the performers were incredibly dedicated and put on a great show. The large public bath is on an upper floor facing the sea, and the island and bay opposite are beautiful. The open-air bath also has two barrel-shaped tubs.
