Ryokan Lamp no Yado Aoni onsen
036-0402 Aomori, Kuroishi, Okiura Aonisawa Takinoue 1-7, Japan – Great location - show map
It’s hodden onsen hot springs in the middle of nowhere than snows . Quiet and Relaxing. The meals are so good and with local tastes
JapanSecluded location, multiple baths with nice views, excellent food.
JapanOne of the beat ryokan experiences possible. No electricity, no cell service, 3 onsens, beautiful environment on a babbling brook and fresh [locally sourced] meals. I love great lodging, independent of streaming and being tortured by screen time. If your life requires a constant media connection you should find a Double Tree. If you’re comfortable with yourself and sharing a quiet moment with other respectful travelers this is an amazing experience.
United States of AmericaPossibly Japan's best onsen. New words would be needed to describe this place or we would have to start using words for their real meaning again. I was happy there.
NetherlandsSuch an authentic and traditional onsen! It’s a must visit!
JapanVery helpful staff that provided guidance on how to reach their remote ryokan. The different onsen at the property were all very relaxing and enjoyable. Dinner and breakfast were very, very satisfying. Kerosene lamps made for a very beautiful aesthetic. Very nice to be disconnected (no electricity and no cell service) after a long week at work.
JapanOne of my favorite stays in all of Japan. No cell service or electricity and fantastic onsens made this a rare chance to really unplug. And the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend staying here.
United States of AmericaSo good to not have any way of being Online in the paradise
VietnamIt is very traditional and rustic but extremely comfortable. Awesome food and the onsens were spectacular.
United States of AmericaVery nice hiding place! the equipment and service are well-organized. Also the meal is very delicious 😋 it’s a very unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience!

-
- 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.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.7 for a two-person trip.
