Aomori Station: only 2 minutes away! (450 feet by foot)
Really polite and friendly staff. She was able to point out how to get to some different places. Recieved help with my baggages up the stairs and with using the coin phone. I communicated in (bad) Japanese, but they seem able to okay with English and there is some signage in other languages. Room is clean and has towel, robe, water heater, tea, etc. It was really nice of them to provide a canned tea and some chocolate too. Its not fancy but is quite roomy and has nice accent decos! A comfy room Its really close to the station and a short distance from the Nebuta Wa-rasse museum and a relatively short (10minute?) from Aspam and other places to visit or eat in Aomori. Still surprised how close things really are in Japan. After check-out i was allowed to leave my luggage for a bit until my train in the afternoon. I went out to do last minute sightseeing and shopping haha. Enjoyed my stay, really nice place c: I'd definitely stay here again if i was in Aomori.
United States of AmericaThe owner was very friendly! Her smile warms my heart. We felt right at home and the ryokan was very cozy. Included In the rooms are yukata’s as well as tea,hot water, chocolates, coffee, and toothbrushes+razors (Refilled daily!) Shared shower and bathrooms and a laundry machine are available. Overall would stay here again!
United States of AmericaExcellent location very near Aomori station. Plenty of restaurants & shopping nearby. Lovely kind hosts. We had breakfast with them & it was excellent. It’s budget accommodations but exceeded our expectations.
United States of AmericaThe owners were so nice and the room was clean. Was very disappointed that I stayed for just a day. It’s such a nice place and near the Nebuta Warasse and Aomori Station. And then there’s the ryokan experience plus the kimonos that they’d let you wear in the room
PhilippinesVery near the station, clean and comfortable rooms. Comfort room/Shower room is very good. Value for Money in Aomori! Good for solo traveller
PhilippinesVery friendly staff, location close to train station and shopping district. Free local Aomori apple juice was a nice touch
United States of AmericaOwner was very sweet and obviously puts a lot of time and effort into running the inn. Always replenished chocolate, tea, apple juice, hot water, and toiletries in the morning. Couldnt ask for anything more !
United States of AmericaThe owner is very warm and she kept everything clean and tidy. The bath is clean and comfortable and shower water is hot and strong. Breakfast is very good and free coffee and chocolate are offered for each day of stay.
SingaporeThe owner is a super nice lady who cleaned our room everyday so neat and tidy that I felt as if we were staying in a new room. Bath water is hot and the breakfast (500 yen) was wonderfulx
SingaporeOur hosts were friendly and warm, she made the best homemade Japanese breakfast!

-
- What's a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
-
- What's a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What's a yukata?
- A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
-
- How should I wear a yukata?
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- What's standard bathing etiquette?
- At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
