2-Sterne-Hotels in Präfektur Aomori, Japan

As a backpacker, the journey to the hotel was challenging. I chose this one because it was the closest to Hakusan-Hoko Temple, which I absolutely had to see for its magnificent three-story pagoda and all its surroundings. Arriving from Aomori, I couldn't leave until after 4 p.m. Having not paid attention, I discovered that there are very few buses between Suwanotaira Station and the hotel, the last one leaving at 5:30 p.m. So, I decided to walk with my 25 kg packs. Walking in the dark through the forest with my small flashlight, I heard a dog barking incessantly near a farm. Suddenly, there was a loud noise in a tree: a bear came down very quickly and started growling. I was terrified, stepped back, and used a bell to scare it away. This happened a five-minute walk from the hotel. The receptionist was surprised but took my story seriously, asking me for the exact location. I hadn't eaten since morning, and despite the kitchens being closed, she offered to make me onigiri and sake. They were the best I've had since arriving in Japan. I particularly enjoyed the hotel's onsen for relaxing after the long walk. It was my first time sleeping in a traditional Japanese room, and I loved the experience. Kimonos are available in all sizes. Thinking I could finally go to sleep peacefully, my phone received two national alerts. I had barely started reading them when a major earthquake struck. The entire room began to shake. I was worried because I had never experienced anything like it before. The alarms in my room and throughout the hotel started going off. The receptionist came to me several times to check if I was alright and to tell me not to use the elevator. The cleaning staff also came to check if the water was turned off in my bathroom. The alarms went off again at 6:00 a.m. and then 8:00 a.m. The receptionist came to my room to offer to drive me to the temple free of charge, something I had originally planned to do on foot, and then to take me from the temple to Hachinohe Station, because due to the earthquake, all trains between Suwanotaira and Hachinohe Stations had been canceled, as well as the Shinkansen trains departing from Hachinohe that I was originally supposed to take to Tsuruoka. I am extremely grateful for the support and kindness of the receptionist. She took care of me without me even asking. Thanks also to Yukuri Okobo for her kindness and for driving me to the temple and then to Hachinohe Station. Despite these very unusual circumstances, I highly recommend this hotel! You couldn't ask for a better welcome as a foreigner, and the rooms and onsen are superb! Arigatō Gozaimasu! 😊

This hostel is conveniently located near Lake Towada. It can be easily accessed from the JR bus station. There is a convenience store at about 100 meters of distance from the hostel. The building is a bit outdated and the facilities look old. But please remember that this is a hostel and is affordable. The staff are extremely polite and welcoming. They have a big heart and serve with their full sincerity. When I reached the hostel early, there was nobody at the front desk, but there was a note for me with my room details. Later at night, When I mentioned that I do not eat meat, and I will manage with only rice, the lady, Ms. Tomoko quickly prepared fish without even thinking twice and asked me to pay very little. Even the next day she prepared cold noodles along with rice and charged extremely less. The point here is not the money but her big heart in serving without thinking about money or profit. I highly recommend this hostel purely by considering at the generosity and sweet, politeness of the staff there. This hostel is conveniently located even to walk along Oirase gorge. Easier to stay here and take bus to either to the northern end - Yakeyama or the southern, lake side end Nenokuchi and walk along the gorge and return back to the hostel. This way the trip becomes affordable and easier.

Ich war mit meinem etwa 20-jährigen Kind und meiner betagten Mutter auf einem Ausflug. Ich hatte vergessen, einen Abholservice vom Bahnhof zu reservieren, aber da jemand da war, fragte ich nach, und sie sagten gerne zu. Die heiße Quelle hatte ein großes Bad und ein Freibad, und die Wassertemperatur war genau richtig. Es gab auch eine Sauna. Auch die Umkleidekabine war sauber. Der Speiseplan beinhaltete eine Übernachtung und zwei Mahlzeiten. Die Menge an Fisch, Wildgemüse, Bambussprossen und Maitake-Pilzen im Topf, Tempura usw. war so groß, dass ich kaum alles aufessen konnte. Ich war sehr zufrieden. Das Frühstück war kein Buffet, sondern japanisches Essen. Es gab kein Fleisch, daher schien das etwa 20-jährige Kind etwas enttäuscht zu sein. Ich bin mir sicher, dass es im Restaurant außerhalb des Plans Fleisch gab. Es waren viele Leute mittleren bis höheren Alters da, und wir waren die einzigen jungen Leute dort. Ich war zufrieden, hatte aber insgesamt den Eindruck einer Therme für Senioren, inklusive Essen und Lage.

My 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!

Ein großes Hotel schließt die Bahnhofsstation. Freundliches Personal. Sie gab uns einen kostenlosen Spezialitäts-Boot bei der Eincheckung und einen Ticket zum Abendessen. Das Abendessen war ausgezeichnet. Das Zimmer war schön und groß und die Betten waren komfortabel. Das einzige, was ein bisschen fehlte, war die Größe des Badezimmers. Das freundliche Personal und das Abendessen waren dafür jedoch bereit.

The location will be great during other seasons except winter. As Aomori will be having heavy snow during winter and it is hard to walk from the JR station to hotel. Although it is only 550m away from the train station, it took us 40 mins walking time because it was snowing. The hotel itself is quite old but the room is clean and cozy. The bathroom is quite small and you might hit the wall easily. For anyone that has a tattoo, you will not be able to get into the onsen Breakfast was decent and we enjoyed a lot. Walking distance to some of the spots, wet market, A Factory and others.

Freundliches Personal. Obwohl es ein wenig von der Bahnhof entfernt ist (ca. 15 bis 20 Minuten zu Fuß), ist es sehr einfach dort zu erreichen.

Das Hotel liegt in den tiefen Bergen von Hakkoda, am Eingang von Takada Odake, etwa 500 Meter zu Fuß vom Busbahnhof Yachi Onsen jr (der Bus fährt nur zweimal täglich) entfernt. Die heiße Quelle ist seit mehr als 400 Jahren geöffnet. Das Gebäude des Hotels, einschließlich der heißen Quelle, wirkt relativ alt, und der Fernseher im Zimmer ist immer noch der gleiche wie in den 1980er Jahren. Das Abendessen war unerwartet gut und der Geschmack jedes Gerichts war unglaublich und genau richtig. Tief in den Bergen werden Ende Juli dicke Bettdecken bezogen und es fühlt sich überhaupt nicht heiß an. Nach dem Auschecken am nächsten Tag kann das Hotel zum Bahnhof Aomori gefahren werden.

Das Gebäude und das Zimmer sind sehr sauber und leicht zu blühen. Reis ist sehr lecker und warm, so dass ich sehr zufrieden bin. Außerdem schickte er mich nach dem Austritt in die geschlossene Busstation, so dass ich die Probleme beim Spaziergang sparen kann. Wenn Sie 10 und Tian Lake kommen, möchte ich es empfehlen.

Auf der Suche nach ruhigen Landschaft Onsen Ryokan und ich ausgewählte diesen ryokan. Es dauerte 4 Stunden von Hon Hachinohe-Stadt: 3 Transfers mit 3 Zügen und 1 örtliche Bus. Sehr kleine und ruhige Meeresküste Onsen Dorf, wo auch Hachinohe Zivilisten nicht wissen. Onsen Wasser sieht wirklich gut und original aus. Sashimi war sehr schön und lecker, ika katsuo uni etc hier gefischt Japaner mag diesen Ort mit Ausnahme der alten Einrichtungen, aber Ausländer können nicht. Japaner sollten zwingend sein und lokale Bus norikata ist auch verpflichtet, diese Onsen zu genießen. Nachtszene ist sehr schön und friedlich.
