Hot Springs Hotels in Aomori Prefecture, Japan

This is my favorite hotel chain to book in Japan; you can't really go wrong with it. The rooms are clean, well-equipped, and actually a bit more spacious than I expected. It's a 10-15 minute walk to the JR station. If you're using Aomori as your base to explore nearby cities daily, you might find yourself a little tired after a long day, as you'll still have a bit of a walk back to the hotel. However, the surroundings are very quiet, so if you don't mind the walk, I highly recommend this place. The breakfast is delicious, especially the scallop sashimi (I'm not sure if it's an Aomori specialty), which was so good I keep thinking about it... super fresh and sweet! The free ramen at night is also yummy and comforting after a hot bowl, even if it's a tad salty (but hey, it's free, so who's complaining!). On the onsen floor, they offer free lactic acid drinks or popsicles at different times, which are a nice treat. One minor drawback: the washing machines and dryers are coin-operated. If you don't have enough coins, you'll end up buying drinks from the vending machine just to get change. However, this isn't really a fault of this particular hotel; most coin-operated laundry machines in Japanese hotels probably work this way.

I stayed here for my first trip to Hachinohe. The downtown area is quite a walk from Motohachinohe Station, which I imagine could be tough during summer or on rainy days. However, the hotel's location is excellent, being close to the downtown area with plenty of great restaurants nearby! They offered delicious apple juice in the lobby. The room was a bit on the small side but felt very clean. Breakfast offered a great variety, and everything was delicious, including the kaisen-don (seafood rice bowl), ika-menchi (squid cutlets), and scallop fry! The hot spring bath was also wonderful, but unfortunately, I spotted a cockroach and had to get out immediately 😭. Perhaps it's unavoidable with an open-air bath, but I really wish I could have relaxed in such a nice hot spring longer – that's my only slight regret! I was also delighted that the hairdryers in the public bath were Panasonic Nanoe models! And the ice cream after the bath was delicious too.

The location is perfect, with seamless access to the Shinkansen. The room was clean and tidy, with ample space. The bedding was very comfortable, and the mattress was so sore-free. The public hot spring on the 6th floor was free and not crowded. The Blue Lounge offered free apple juice and snacks, which was a delight to enjoy while enjoying the night view. The front desk was busy, and we were greeted by a non-Japanese woman who provided standard service. We stayed three nights and were very convenient to hiking the Oirase Gorge in Aomori, visiting Hirota Shrine in the city, and visiting the Aomori Prefectural Museum of Art. There's a bus stop just downstairs. Very satisfied!

Treasure Hotel 🎄◟(˶＞ ᎑ ＜˶)◞🎄, is a surprise on this trip! It takes about 20 minutes to drive from Hirosaki. I arrived late at night, so I took a taxi (there is a shuttle bus in the afternoon). It is not expensive. The hot spring is very comfortable. There is a great apple hot spring. Smelling the apple smell, soaking in the hot spring ♨️ is too enjoyable and relaxing. The public bath is also very large. There are many different types of baths indoors and outdoors. After soaking, you will feel smooth and tender. I also made a special reservation for the loan bath to enjoy the private private bath with the fragrance of cypress. The room is large and clean, and the partition is perfect. The breakfast is very rich. I also experienced a full-day bath before soaking. I felt refreshed after soaking in the morning! ! ! It's a pity that I didn't catch the shuttle bus to Hirosaki in the morning. It is actually very convenient if the time is calculated well! ! ! It is strongly recommended to make special arrangements for this hotel in Hirosaki~ Come again next time!

The hotel is quite far from Hirosaki Station. It may take 15-20 minutes to walk there, but the hotel has a shuttle bus to the JR station in the morning, which runs frequently. There are parking spaces, which is more suitable for self-driving tours. There are many restaurants near the hotel with many choices. It only takes 10 minutes to walk to Hirosaki Park.

Although I chose this ryokan as alternative place but it turned out it is my best stay so far. It is not far from Kuroishi and it is accessible by public transport. Room is very spacious and has both a bathroom and a toilet. Onsen is good. It has both indoor and outdoor ones. Usually it is not busy. Food was great both dinner and breakfast. Free flow of both alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks are also included. Very generous. Staffs are very friendly, although their English are very limited. Extra 150 yen per person for onsen tax. Cash term only. Cashless payment is available.

This hot spring hotel is located on the top of a mountain. And it takes around an hour of driving up the hill in order to get to the hotel, but the view is completely worth it, the stars at night was so beautiful. The hot spring outdoor was comfy as well. However, the hotel didn’t have elevator, so maybe it’s best that you pack a smaller luggage. The dinner was verrrryyyyyy good and fresh, and the Aomori Apple beer that they had was sooooo goood. The buffet style breakfast offer different kinds of food too from English to Japanese. One thing that we are not a fan of was the blue indoor wear that they offer, as it didn’t look good and look like a massage therapist. Haha

The overall experience is great. 1. The room is very delicate, very clean and beautifully furnished. More luxurious Japanese-style room. 2. Facing the sea, the environment around the hotel is very good. 3. Complete facilities, private baths can also be rented if there are public baths. 4. The food in the hotel is very generous. Whether breakfast or dinner. 5. There is also a three-string performance at 8 pm. The performance of the old man is really great. Although he can't understand Japanese, he can be infected by the atmosphere. 6. One of the managers of the hotel is Taiwanese. Friendly and good service to customers. This hotel is recommended.

The hotel is good overall. This is my third time staying in this hotel. This time, I booked 8 rooms in total, two of which were booked by Rukuten Travel. Because these two rooms were additional reservations, I don’t remember whether Trip’s price was high or they were out of room. As a result, the two rooms booked by Rukuten Travel had one more dish at dinner than the rooms booked by Ctip, which made me feel very bad about Ctip. For this stay, the only thing I was not satisfied with was the shamisen performance in the evening. Because the resident performer of the hotel suddenly did not go to work, the male guest who replaced her was far worse than her.

Aomori City was experiencing a terrible snowfall that day, so we arrived about two hours later than planned. We contacted them while driving to inform them that we would be delayed, and finally arrived much later than planned, driving through the heavy snow, but the response and consideration of the front desk staff was heartwarming.
