Hotels near Ishiba Family Residence, Hirosaki

This is a gorgeous place, set opposite a fabulous shrine entrance, which our lovely Japanese bedroom overlooked. Run by a gracious couple, who prepare a superior standard, delicious dinner and breakfast, an added highlight! I chose to drink their apple juice which tasted homemade and delicious. The onsen had a true rustic atmosphere and great water. We were traveling by bike and they kindly let us store our bikes indoors overnight. Recommended and I hope to return.

It was a really nice inn. The staff were kind and friendly. The customers were also very well-behaved, and if it weren't so far away, I would definitely visit again. The food was absolutely delicious, and the pickle buffet was a unique service. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, and the lighting was one of its highlights. The benches placed throughout the property were all lovely, and I found myself wanting to sit down. I took a coffee from the restaurant and enjoyed the view of Mt. Iwaki from the rooftop, and it was amazing. It was my first time listening to a shamisen live performance, and it would be a shame not to hear it. I was captivated by the unique sound. I was afraid of bears, so I refrained from using the open-air bath. There were also many fascinating items in the souvenir shop. We found a stink bug in our room, but I didn't hesitate to call the front desk, and they came to get rid of it. It was completely odorless and I was impressed. I'd like to visit again. The inn is neither too big nor too small, and it maintains a homey feel while maintaining privacy.
