Arrived in Aomori in the rain, but thankfully the hotel is directly above the station, so no need to even go outside. They gave me the room I requested, which really helped alleviate my travel fatigue and put me in a great mood. The room layout was well-designed and very comfortable. The front desk staff spoke Chinese and thoroughly explained the hotel's facilities. Breakfast wasn't crowded, so I could get my food at a relaxed pace. A hotel I really liked.
They offer complimentary local sake tasting, available to all adults. Kids can have fun with the toys at the nearby children's play area.
We had dinner on the top floor and also enjoyed a plentiful breakfast there, with a delightful view of the distant snow-capped mountains. It was truly a feast for the eyes.
The room was incredibly spacious, and there's an outdoor courtyard for a stroll. The front desk staff were very friendly and even waived the breakfast fee for our child. We're very satisfied!
Facilities: The room had a very traditional Japanese feel, and the window view was absolutely stunning!
Environment: It's located right where the bus drops you off, literally right in front of the hotel.
Service: All the staff were older, white-haired individuals, but their service was excellent.
On the downside, the food was quite bad 😂. Dinner was really unappetizing, so I skipped breakfast altogether.
Lake Towada in winter doesn't have many attractions; abandoned houses are everywhere, giving it a somewhat desolate feel… The hotel facilities are good, providing travel-sized shampoo, shower gel, and skincare products. The rooms also have hot and cold water dispensers (very convenient for making instant noodles). The public bath is only indoors, there's no open-air bath. The rooms are clean, suggesting recent renovations.
The worst part was the dinner. Dinner was at the hotel's sushi restaurant, but the entire meal consisted of only one appetizer (a very small dish), one miso soup, and 10 pieces of sushi. Even for women with small appetites, it wasn't enough. There aren't any convenience stores in the surrounding lake area, so if you get hungry at night, you can only buy frozen food from the hotel's vending machines, but the prices aren't cheap at all… Although the hotel provides each guest with a mini instant noodle for a late-night snack, that mini instant noodle is truly tiny; I bet it would only last three bites!
Therefore, I strongly advise everyone staying at this hotel to bring your own food.
The location is fantastic, right by the JR station. This was incredibly convenient given the heavy snow in Hirosaki, as I didn't have to drag my luggage far. The hotel was clean and tidy, and the front desk service was excellent. It's also very close to Hirosaki Castle, within walking distance or you can catch a bus right outside. There's even a direct bus to Morioka from the front of the hotel, which I'd consider for my next trip – super convenient without having to take the Shinkansen!
Room is spacious. Have a sofa and coffee desk. This good for us to pack our luggage.Bed is comfortable for a good night sleep. Room have a good view of the sea. Breakfast japanese style with lot of varieties. Parking at hotel car park. Parking charge paid at reception when check-out.
I stayed in a twin room (with a unit bath).
The hotel was very clean and the room was nice. The area near the entrance was spacious, making it easy to carry in luggage. The TV was large, so I was able to rest comfortably.
The only downside is that the toilets are small, so I'm hesitant to recommend this hotel to my overseas friends. Also, although there was a parking lot nearby, I had a bit of trouble finding it. As for the food, the photos on the website looked delicious, so I booked breakfast, but I didn't have time and couldn't eat it, so I'd like to go next time.
This hotel is right next to the ski resort. The snow quality is excellent, and on a clear day, you can even see Hokkaido across the Sea of Japan from the summit. It seems that over half of the guests are international visitors.
I didn't encounter a single foreign guest who was loud or bothersome.
The staff all appear to speak both English and Chinese.
While the variety at the buffet might be a bit limited, they do ensure it's always replenished. The food is tasty. Disposable slippers are provided, but they're very thin, so you feel the cold directly. I saw many people who had brought their own flip-flops.
It's best to be prepared for power outages. Public toilets and water rooms are standard features of traditional Japanese B&Bs. The Japanese breakfast is good. Please note that the check-in time is before 9 pm. If you can't arrive, be sure to contact the owner in advance. The B&B is on the mountain, so be careful when driving at night. There are no street lights.
This is really a great hotel. Staff are all nice, hotel’s facility is also good. Free drink and snacks are available in hotel lounge. Highly recommended to anyone who planned to tour in Aomori!
