Hotel Dengan parkir di Prefektur Aomori, Jepang

I really like this hotel ！The staff there are enthusiastic and nice! I lost my card and they told me it’s ok, I really appreciate that. The onsen is also amazing , I could admire the snow and enjoy. And after that, I could have ice cream. The chocolate one tasted good! The only downside is that the pillow is a little high to me. I hope I can have chance to stay there for several nights!

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! 😊

We drove from Hirosaki station and had several car park options to park overnight. The rooms were clean and we like the memory foam pillow as we all had stiff necks after skiing.

The hotel is approx. 15-20 minutes walking distance from JR Hirosaki station. Hotel rooo is just right for a single guest.

The location of the ryokan is ideal. It is beautiful and conveniently located along the MIchinoku Coastal Trail. The sunrises are spectacular. The facility is very clean, with shared bathroom and baths. The owner and staff are so kind and helpful and their effort to speak English was greatly appreciated. We arrived late in the evening the first night, past dinner time, but was offered food upon our arrival. The staff arranged for a cab to pick us up at 6 am the next morning to go to the Morning Market. There was hot water and delicious green tea bags available all the time. My daughter voiced that she wanted to see the senbei store/class in downtown Hachinoe. The staff went out of their way to arrange for us to have a private lesson with a senbei sensei who showed us how to make our own senbei, with different fillings. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Dinner was well balanced and delicious as was breakfast the next morning. There is a quaint train station across the street from the ryokan that took us to downtown Hachinoe at the end of our stay. We will definitely stay there again when we return.

Fasilitas hotel relatif baik. Namun, sistem pemesanannya bermasalah! Di Richmond Hotel Akita Ekimae, ketika kami check in jam 7 malam, resepsionis mengatakan pemesanan kami adalah untuk waktu check-in 23:30~05:00. Check-in di luar periode ini akan dikenakan biaya tambahan sebesar Yen $2000. Bagaimana orang bisa berharap pada pemesanan reguler bahwa waktu check-in adalah tengah malam?! Oke, karena kami ”mengabaikan”, kami membayar. Namun, 2 hari kemudian ketika kami check-in di hotel bermerek yang sama di Aomori (Richmond Hotel Aomori), resepsionis menanyakan apakah kami memerlukan kamar boleh merokok atau tidak. Saya memberi tahu mereka bahwa saya memesan kamar bebas rokok. Mereka mengatakan sistem mereka tidak menunjukkan hal itu, dan mereka tidak memiliki kamar bebas rokok sekarang; jika kami membutuhkannya, diperlukan biaya tambahan sebesar Yen $2000. Apa?!!!!! 1) Jika Anda tidak memiliki kamar bebas rokok, mengapa bertanya apakah kami memerlukannya saat check-in? 2) Bukankah ruangan bebas rokok seharusnya berada di lantai bebas rokok? Jika Anda memilikinya, kami harus diberikan satu saat kami memintanya. Jika Anda tidak memilikinya, bagaimana Anda membuatnya jika kami membayar biaya tambahan?
