Hot Springs Hotels in Aomori Prefecture, Japan

This was the best hotel I stayed at during my trip to Japan. Relabo is directly connected to the JR station, so you can check in on the 4th floor without even leaving the station. The hotel is brand new, the facilities are excellent, the bed is incredibly soft, and both the duvet and the room smell wonderful. It's convenient for getting anywhere, with the bus terminal right downstairs. It's a 5-minute walk to A-Factory and Nebuta House, 10 minutes to the Triangle Fish Market, and Sukeroku Izakaya is also within walking distance. There's a drugstore right opposite the elevator that's open until 10 PM. The public bath is clean and tidy with no dust; one of the two pools has floating real apples and an apple-infused hot spring bath, and the relaxation room offers apple detox water. The hotel staff speak good English, and there are even foreign staff members. The front desk service was a bit less impressive; a few more smiles for guests, even if not genuine, would be a necessary improvement.

The room was a bit small and old, and there were a lot of locals. The hot springs were fantastic, though they got crowded the next day. Breakfast was plentiful, featuring local apples, apple juice, local beef, and salmon. The service was exceptionally good and attentive. Anyone who loves hot springs should definitely give this a try.

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.

Superb views, buffet dinner options, diverse indoor outdoor bath options with salt and clear water!! A rare gem  for families. Staff spoke English at front desk and restaurants, and welcome descriptions note is written in English as well. Alternate timings at bath for Men and women assures equal views for both. The outside open air bath at the beach is probably the hit and can get crowded at sunset and less so during sunrise. The open air bath attached to the indoor area bath offers better sunset views, from an elevation of about 30 meters. We (family of three) enjoyed it very much and probably rank it the best of our three prefecture experience with respect to the bath.

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!

We love the view from our room on the 7th floor. The free wifi is fast in the room, around the hotel, and in the restaurant. We had buffet dinner and breakfast included room rate. We enjoyed both meals. All travelers must added meals with their room because there is no restaurant or convenience stores within 10km radius. There is a gift shop and convenience stores located inside the hotel. We recommend this hotel; and we’ll come back again.

The environment is quiet and beautiful. The hot spring has indoor apple soup with a faint apple fragrance. The outdoor hot spring is very comfortable. The air is fresh and the room is spacious and comfortable. The dinner is very exquisite and rich, and the taste is delicious, especially the sashimi is very fresh. I will come again.

The Hakkoda Hotel is a good hotel that I will not forget in my life. It was a super heavy snowstorm that day, and my wife and I could only do hotel activities. It was comfortable in the strong wind but there was no outdoors. The restaurant was delicious with Japanese and Western food After that, I fell asleep 😴 Special mention that there is no other food in the hotel 🤣 Remember that there are no cup noodles! ! So if you can’t get out of the hotel, there will be no other food 🥱 But the service quality is very high, the hotel is clean and beautiful, and it’s a good place to go

We stayed at Asamushi Onsen (about 20mins drive from Aomori downtown) as part of our 2025 Spring trip to Aomori area, and booked Tstsumikan Onsen hotel to stay for the night. The hotel location is great. I think all guest rooms come with open ocean view. No private hot spring tub in the guest room but the large gender-specific hot spring pools are open privately to the overnight stay guests from 8PM to the next morning. The stay comes with 2 meals. The food is good and the dinner was served directly in the guest room. The next morning Japanese breakfast was served in the great tatami dinning room, and the breakfast package even comes with free coffee in the gift shop café after the meal. The staff are warm, and the service is good. My recommendation to this hotel come with no hesitation.
