This hotel is located on Aomori's main street, about a 5-10 minute walk from the JR station. I checked in around 10 PM that night, and the front desk staff was incredibly nice and helpful. They meticulously explained the breakfast and check-out times, as well as the room cleaning schedule. Communication in English was seamless. The room size was quite large for Japan, and the twin beds could be pushed together. There's a Lawson convenience store downstairs, perfect for grabbing discounted rice balls and bentos every evening. The main street below the hotel also offers a wide variety of dining options, almost all of which are excellent. Most restaurants require reservations, but a little tip is to go around 5 PM to potentially snag a table without one. I wouldn't recommend the hotel breakfast, and frankly, I don't recommend any hotel breakfast in Japan compared to China due to the limited selection. The latest entry for breakfast is 9:30 AM, with food starting to be cleared at 9:45 AM and finishing at 10 AM – the meticulousness of the Japanese is something I just can't get used to! Later on, because we couldn't wake up early and didn't enjoy the food, we opted for convenience store rice balls and oden instead. However, the restaurant staff were still very friendly and professional. In conclusion, it's a bit of a walk from the JR station, but not too far. The price is on the higher side, but the room is relatively spacious for Japan, and the service is a big plus. I would definitely choose this hotel again if I return to Aomori.
Check-in was very smooth. In fact, they allowed us to check in earlier - about 1 to 2 hours earlier, I think. The room was already ready, so they allocated it to us when we arrived.
The room itself was rather small but functional and clean, so we don’t really have any complaints other than it being a bit small. I guess this is Japanese standards.
The pricing is fairly more expensive than the inns across the road, perhaps because of the location and also because it is very new.
The property itself has a very nice onsen. The female onsen had a lot of apples floating in it, which was a very nice touch to showcase Aomori apples.
The front desk staff are very nice and very friendly. They also have staff who can speak Chinese. Not that I am Chinese, but I can speak some Chinese better than Japanese, which I can’t speak at all. Nevertheless, the staff could converse in English, or at least some basic English.
There’s free yoga and some classes, but we didn’t utilise them as it’s not really useful for tourists who would rather spend time outside the hotel. This seems more suited for locals who want a short getaway, but still a very lovely touch.
Breakfast is paid separately and does not come with the room, so there is no comment on that.
The property provides Nespresso capsules in the room, and there is also a better Nespresso machine near the check-in counter.
I also love that they provide water for free without having to pay extra.
The lounge is available for everybody and overlooks the bridge. They provide some free snacks and drinks depending on the timing - different items in the morning and in the evening. That being said, there is no alcohol being served. Also, the coffee there is very bad. I don’t understand why they don’t put the Nespresso machine in the lounge since they have one at the lobby.
Overall, everything was quite perfect for this hotel. In fact, the location was the most perfect part. Once you exit the train station, you enter an elevator that goes up to the hotel. Since it was winter, I was afraid I would need to drag my bags for a long time, but it’s right outside the exit after you tap your card and turn left. If I remember correctly, the elevator is right there and there is no need to go outside at all. However, there are only two elevators servicing the entire building, so there might be some waiting time. I would advise leaving earlier if you have a train to catch.
The only reason this is not a full-star review is because I requested about a one-hour late checkout due to our train time, and they told us we needed to pay - if I remember correctly, ¥2,000 per hour. I felt they were very rigid about the 11 am checkout time. To be honest, even if they had given it to us, we probably wouldn’t have used it anyway, as we later decided to change our train time to leave Aomori, since there isn’t much to do here. Still, the rejection and inflexibility made us feel very uneasy and unwelcome. I think they could have handled this better by being less rigid and more human. So that’s minus points from us. After all, this is part of hospitality, and it doesn’t hurt.
The hotel is within walking distance of Aomori Station and attractions such as the Nebuta Museum WA RASSE, Aomori Bay Bridge, and Setsuda Shrine. Directly opposite the hotel, there's a restaurant serving delicious Miso Milk Ramen. If you turn right upon exiting the hotel and walk towards the station, you'll also find a renowned local restaurant specializing in sashimi and various scallop dishes.
The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Aomori Station, which can be tough with luggage if there's a lot of snow. The room was quite spacious, easily accommodating two open suitcases. I highly recommend the hotel's natural hot spring; it was very relaxing. The ramen served in the evening was also quite good and thoughtfully prepared. Breakfast was excellent and varied, a definite recommendation. Plus, there's complimentary apple juice and coffee available all day.
The location is excellent, just over 300 meters on foot from Aomori Station, right behind the Fish and Vegetable Market (where you can get 12 self-selected seafood bowls for 2000 yen).
I agree with many reviews; the hotel is quite old. It has been around for a while, so there are no USB outlets whatsoever. The room size is decent, allowing enough space to open a suitcase. However, the bathroom is extremely small. How small, you ask? You'll hit your head when standing up from the toilet, and you're bound to bump into something when turning around.
But, my significant other was very satisfied. Even though it's old and the bathroom is tiny, it has a large public bath and its own restaurant. The public bath is also open to the public, with a communal lounge area, manga, and chairs for relaxation, and both indoor and outdoor bathing options. So, the issue with the bathroom is tolerable. The hotel's restaurant operates until 11 PM, and my significant other commented that the food was good and cheaper than outside izakayas, offering a good selection of basics (rice bowls, noodles, steak, sashimi, fried dishes, etc.). Because it has its own restaurant, the breakfast area is also spacious, with apples and apple juice that were delicious.
Overall, I highly recommend it.
The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Aomori Station and isn't on the main commercial street, but it's just around the corner from it. It's very close to Hirota Shrine, almost directly across the street. As soon as you enter the hotel, you're greeted by the scent of apples. There are apple models on display on the first floor, and the elevators are decorated with various apple illustrations and names. The breakfast selection is quite limited. While there are a few local specialties, the overall variety of dishes is too small. The scallop meat was very tiny and shredded, not whole pieces, putting it on par with the breakfast offerings at budget chain hotels.
When I book hotels in Japan, two things are most important to me:
1) Close to a JR station;
2) Separate toilet and bathroom.
Looking purely at distance, Toyoko Inn and Route-Inn are closer to the station and cheaper. However, after staying at MyStays, I'm so glad I chose it – I really made the right decision! It's also very close to the train station, and there are many restaurants and izakayas downstairs (a Western restaurant across the street, even though its Google rating isn't high, we ate there two nights in a row and the food was pretty good!). Each of our family of three had our own bed! The support was sufficient, very good! The building looks yellow and old from the outside, but it's really nice inside! Don't be fooled by its exterior! Five-star rating.
March 26th 2025 - Japan had Gale wind advisory which means the wind gusts were strong enough to cause JR and other rail services to be impeded by delays. Unfortunately this delay caused us 8-10 hours of our time. We had no option but to stay the night in Aomori as past midnight there are no public transportation services other than taxi. From Shin Aomori to this hotel it cost us just around 1000 yen which was well worth it - considering it was cold and windy.
The Hotel is located about 5-8 minute walk away from 7/11 and a Lawson, maybe 10-12 minutes from the Family Mart. This is a Port city so it is unique in a way I cannot describe. Its quiet, yet there are karaoke bars and regular bars open well past 2AM - this is different than most cities in Japan.
The taxi service here is strong; we used Go Taxi. Uber eats is possible here as well as we ordered around 12:30 am and got our food within an hour from order time - everything made fresh and the restaurant was slightly further than found in bigger cities.
The hotel’s amenities were outstanding- all sorts of skin care, the standard Japan amenities (comb, toothbrush, razor, head band for when you wash your face, cotton swabs, you name it they had it. Well i mean to convey the fact that even higher end hotels dont carry nearly as much.
The staff was extremely helpful and efficient. Used Papago to translate and communicate and there was no issue.
Last minute booking 70$ and I was impressed considering ive stayed in hotels triple the price with less room, poor cleanliness, and overall disappointment. Not this hotel, extremely great and happy my fate led me to this hotel.
A bit of an older hotel for a Nikko, so the facilities aren't top-notch, but they're still perfectly adequate. The location is excellent, very close to the beach, and convenient for both shopping and dining. The room itself is quite spacious, enough to fit two pieces of luggage comfortably. Everything in the room was very clean, and the bath was great.
The hotel's location is excellent, right across the street from Aomori Station. Unfortunately, there was a lot of snow on the roads, making it difficult to drag my luggage into the hotel. Just one more street over are the Apple Factory and Nebuta House. It's a shame I couldn't visit Hirosaki due to the snow causing train cancellations.

11381600****The hotel staff were incredibly friendly. The Hakkoda Ropeway was canceled, and we were planning to take a public bus to Sukayu Onsen ourselves. When the staff learned of our plans, they proactively arranged a shuttle bus for us. We also found out about a snow hiking tour at Sukayu Onsen on Xiaohongshu and decided last minute to join it. A special thanks to the front desk attendant, OMA SAN, who helped us communicate with the hiking tour guide, allowing us to successfully join the tour and avoid any regrets on this trip.

JJ. SimonLess than 5 mins walk to and from JR Shin-Aomori Station (East exit) which also houses the Aomori Tourist Information Centre.
I chose to stay near this JR Shin-Aomori station instead of JR Aomori station as the shinkansen doesn’t go to JR Aomori station. I need to take the shinkansen early in the morning on the following day to go to Akita and then transfer to the Akita shinkansen to head to my next accommodation in Tazawako.
From JR Shin-Aomori station, it’s convenient to take limited express trains direct to Hirosaki station to visit Hirosaki Castle and Park. It’s also a short journey to JR Aomori station which is where the city centre of Aomori is located.
Other than the F&B shops within Shin-Aomori station which close very early around 8pm if I recall correctly, there aren’t any F&B shops around the hotel.
Both Family Mart and Lawsons convenience stores are located a few mins walk from the South exit of the train station which is located on the other end of the station.
FFengyuezhibianI've long admired the reputation of the Hoshino Resorts, and this was my first time staying at one of their properties. The ”Kai” series is supposedly a mid- to high-end resort hotel specializing in hot springs, but overall, I was a bit disappointed.
First, the hotel's location is quite secluded, in the Owani Onsen area of Aomori Prefecture. It's relatively close to Hirosaki City, a mere 10-minute train ride away, but it's quite a distance from Shin-Aomori Station, the Shinkansen terminus, taking nearly an hour. This late September visit to Owani Onsen might have been off-season, but the temperature was pleasant, the crowds were sparse, and the hot spring village surrounding the station was tranquil. If you make a reservation in advance, the hotel's shuttle bus will pick you up at Owani Onsen Station, a roughly 10-minute ride away (though I later discovered the hotel is also a 20-minute walk, which is still quite close).
But upon entering the hotel, the popularity of the Hoshino Resorts became apparent. The lobby was nearly full upon check-in, instantly diminishing the sense of tranquility. The hotel is small, but with 40 rooms, it feels much more commercialized than a traditional Japanese onsen hotel. There are no private baths, and the public baths aren't rotated, and the bathing environment is quite ordinary, with absolutely no special features. This kind of arrangement shouldn't be found in a high-end hotel focused on hot springs.
I stayed two nights, with two nights and four meals. Meals rotate, as is typical at most hot spring hotels. However, the first day's meal was better than the second. Overall, the dining experience was only mid-range for this price range. Perhaps due to its proximity to the northern waters, the sashimi was decent, but the selection was mediocre. The other food was even less memorable.
MMetatts_My family and I stayed for a night at this hotel, but to our surprise, it was empty except for us. We opted for the full board package, which included breakfast and dinner. However, the meals were set meals for one person, unlike the buffet-style meals we’ve experienced at other hotels. This was not sufficient for our group.
GGuest UserWhen I book hotels in Japan, two things are most important to me:
1) Close to a JR station;
2) Separate toilet and bathroom.
Looking purely at distance, Toyoko Inn and Route-Inn are closer to the station and cheaper. However, after staying at MyStays, I'm so glad I chose it – I really made the right decision! It's also very close to the train station, and there are many restaurants and izakayas downstairs (a Western restaurant across the street, even though its Google rating isn't high, we ate there two nights in a row and the food was pretty good!). Each of our family of three had our own bed! The support was sufficient, very good! The building looks yellow and old from the outside, but it's really nice inside! Don't be fooled by its exterior! Five-star rating.
GGuest UserMy main reason to go to Ajigasawa was to visit the Takayama Inari Shrine with its snaking Tori gates. It’s about a tenth the length and size of Kyoto’s.
Found this ryokan by reviews in the area. It was a toss up between this and the nearby hotel; which turns out to be run by the same group!
The ryokan shows its age. But it’s very comfortable, clean and the service, especially by Noro who used his translation app so well, was impeccable! They have map of the property in English.
If you drink (alcohol), it’s available in spades! There’s unlimited snacks, water, soda, popsicles, coffee, tea and alcohol for guests.
The onsen is open to public, it seemed like the whole village descends after dinner to have a dip!
We spent one night: dinner and breakfast were excellent!
