This time we went to Oirarikei and Lake Towada to enjoy the autumn leaves for two days. My family and I chose to stay here. Although it is some distance from the west exit of Hachinohe Station, there are many buses to get there. There are also many places to go shopping and eat at night. More importantly, The price is reasonable, the breakfast is delicious and the living environment is very good. I will stay here again next time I come. Don't highly recommend it to friends and family.
The room type we booked was a Japanese tatami room, and the strong Japanese flavor was already there as soon as we entered the room! There is a large terrace next to the window. It happened to snow on the day we checked in, so you can sit and enjoy the snow scenery! Dinner and breakfast are very rich! The hot spring is also spacious and the hotel makes people feel comfortable!
Very unique secluded oil lantern lit ryokan in the mountains of Aomori Prefecture. My second visit there - I absolutely loved the experience last year and decided to return. Unfortunately, half of the baths were closed due to flooding that destroyed the inn's suspension bridge across the Aoni River. Worse, they closed one of the remaining baths for cleaning prior to checkout time - without any advanced notification of the bath's closure. Disappointing - they should have considered leaving the remaining two baths open until checkout time - or at least advised at check-in time when the baths would be closed. Also, it would have been beneficial to reach out to guests ahead of time regarding the closure of the other two baths due to damage. Their website mentioned it in Japanese, but when I called I was told all the baths would be available for my early-September stay. Again, very disappointing considering the primary appeal Excellent rustic Japanese meals - both dinner and breakfast are included. Staff was friendly and accommodating besides the abovementioned issues. Sadly, unsure if I will return again.
The breakfast is not Chinese, but there is nothing wrong with it. It is a vacation hotel for Japanese locals. There are no mainlanders. It is OK to bring children. There is parking. The hot springs are good. Apples are available. There is a shuttle bus to the station. There is a supermarket next to it.
The room is clean, the indoor hot spring is comfortable, the outdoor one is too cold, the hot spring is not hot enough, it snowed heavily in January, and it is indeed comfortable to take a hot spring bath, but you have to drive yourself, otherwise the transportation is inconvenient! The hotel's breakfast and dinner are suitable, and those who like Japanese food will definitely love it!
Starting with a welcome drink (apple juice, coffee), we had free midnight noodles in the evening, ice cream after the bath (in the evening), yogurt (in the morning), and local cuisine made with local ingredients for breakfast. We were free to choose our side dishes, and they were all delicious.
As we were bathing in the open-air bath, it was snowing, so we could enjoy a snow-viewing bath, which was the best.
I'd like to stay here again.
The hotel is located at the northern foot of Mount Iwaki in Aomori Prefecture, with an excellent natural environment.
The room overlooks the Sea of Japan. Unfortunately, it was cloudy when I checked in, otherwise I believe I could see the sunset over the Sea of Japan.
The ski resort next to it has many snow trails, but there are mostly green trails for beginners, which is very suitable for most ski enthusiasts.
Only the hotel's breakfast and dinner meals are of lower quality.
The breakfast is great. You may need to wait for a table, but it is definitely worth it. It is recommended to order breakfast when booking. It will be more expensive to pay 3,500 per person on site than to book directly.
The room facilities, large bath, location and service are also not picky. Although it is a little more expensive than other hotels in Aomori City, it is definitely worth it.
In addition, the Ctrip agent of this hotel has a problem with the price setting. Children under six years old should be free of charge, but if you choose two adults and one child, you will be charged the price of three adults. It is recommended to choose two adults for children under six years old.
The hot spring was quite small than the picture, and the open-air bath was covered and surrounded and there was no open feeling. The blanket provided in the room was quite smelly. I enjoyed the wine tasting.
I was very satisfied with the hot spring and the rice.
You can enjoy several baths and saunas in hot water that feels good on the skin, as it is said to be a beauty hot spring.
Although it is popular with many people who take a day trip to the bath, it was not crowded and I was able to enjoy it slowly.
For meals, we had breakfast, but you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city of Mutsu City from the top floor.
Although it was a half-buffet, there were many kinds, and I was able to enjoy delicious local foods.
The rooms are clean, and the hotel itself has been around for a long time, but it was very clean and nice.
If I go to Mutsu city again, I would like to stay there.

GGuest UserI went on a trip with my 20-something child and my elderly mother. I had forgotten to make a reservation for a pick-up from the station, but there was someone there, so I asked and they gladly agreed.
The hot spring had a large bath and an open-air bath, and the water temperature was just right. There was also a sauna.
The changing room was also clean.
The meal plan included one night and two meals, and the amount of fish, wild vegetables, bamboo shoots and maitake mushrooms in a pot, tempura, etc. was so large that it was almost impossible to finish, and I was very satisfied.
Breakfast was not a buffet, but Japanese food.
There was no meat, so the 20-something child seemed a little disappointed.
I'm sure there was meat at the restaurant outside the plan.
Most of the guests were middle-aged to elderly, and we were the only young guests.
I was satisfied, but overall, I got the impression that it was a hot spring for the elderly, including the food and location.
GGuest UserFor less than 1400, supper comes out for supper, breakfast comes out. After breakfast, each person drinks a cup of coffee or tea at the bar. The hot spring is free to soak. It is only 20 minutes away from Aomori by tram. I think it is worth taking a half day alone as a relaxing trip. After all, Aomori is very small. I live in the city for a day to see the House of the Sandman and my favorite punch card. Hoshino, why not try it! It's not easy to find a hot spring street that is not in the old forest in the mountains these days (in fact, the hotels in Asamushi are a bit scattered). Talk about the shortcomings, the hotel welcomes you free of charge, but you need to make an appointment or call after you arrive at Asamushi Station. You do n’t need to worry about Japanese if you are in Japan. Even more trouble. However, you can try your luck. Saturday's pick-ups may be intensive, and we just happened to get in the car. If you go by yourself, it ’s not as easy to find as the other ones. Yu Zhi Tang is next to him, and it ’s not easy to find. On the contrary, those who can see the sea are very eye-catching and easy to find. The room is a bit small, to be honest, but eating well can make up for some regrets.

GGuest UserThe environment is very good, but the sanitary conditions are hard to describe. The bathroom curtain smells like urine, the water is intermittent when taking a shower, and there is no water for a while. I asked the front desk for a few bottles of mineral water, but they didn't give it to me. Is this so outrageous?
ZzhoushurenThe famous specialty cuisine of Yanchi Onsen is the rockfish cuisine.

This hot spring located in Hakkoda Mountain has a 400-year history and is known as one of Japan's three secret hot springs. The hot spring water flowing directly from the bottom of the bathtub is also effective for low back pain and atopic dermatitis. Soaking in the gushing soft water can relieve daily fatigue and spend a happy time. Please enjoy two hot springs: the lower bath, said to be a spiritual hot spring, with a temperature of 38 degrees, and the upper bath, with a temperature of 42 degrees. Even if you just want to take a dip, feel free to come.
JJacq SThis really a gem for us! During our booking, there's no any comment from trip.com, but we saw the location and Japan hotel website reviews are not bad, we never regret to choose this hidden gem stay! This stay operated by a family, they're friendly, communication wise main by translate apps. During our stay, there's only we 1 family, we deeply enjoyed the privacy. The ryokan is sparkling clean, onsen is real best & clean, foods are the BEST local foods. To go this place, suggest to self drive. Unfortunately after we left, the stay close for winter rest. I'll definitely come back to this for next
GGuest UserThis is a very old Japanese style hotel, but staff are all very nice with good services provided. The hotel is close to the walking path which allows you for enjoy hiking with you friends.
But one thing need to be considered, which is toilet, the room itself doesn’t has toilet, you have to use public toilet which locates on the same floor of your room. Even though you have to clean up yourself in the morning, you have to use the public toilet or go to onsen to makeup yourself.
CChong Mui ChooThe location is great, near the train station and restaurants are around the hotel. The parking attendant is very friendly. However the room is a little small and we have a family of 3, so need to split into 2 rooms. The hot bath, ice cream and noodle are great!
GGuest UserJapanese hot spring hotel, simple, good environment. I was the only foreigner that day. It's just a few steps from Asamushi Station, but there are not many shops around and they have business hours. I arrived late that day and had no food, so I had to ask the front desk aunt to make an appointment for the hot spring. There are three, I randomly chose an empty one, the hygiene is OK, maybe there are not many people in the off-season, but if you have a cleanliness obsession, you can ignore the bath. I went to Aomori and came back late after dinner. The front desk changed to an uncle, who helped me connect to the wifi, and was quite kind. There was no hot water when I washed my face at 12 pm, and the toilet was also cold. The next morning, the water was still cold, but the toilet water was hot. When I left, the front desk changed to an old lady, who kept bowing to see me out. I wanted to smoke a cigarette in the yard before leaving, but I felt embarrassed. I waited for a while before going back to smoke one in the yard before leaving. If time is not urgent, I will stay next time and make an appointment for Japanese set meals in advance, both at noon and in the evening, (it must be early) It should be the kind that the surrounding merchants receive orders and deliver to the hotel, which is cheap and affordable.
