Hotel Kolam air panas di Aomori

โลเคชั่นดี ราคาดี มีอาหารเช้า จอดรถได้ฟรี ดีเยี่ยมมากๆค่ะ

We traveled to Aomori to experience the Nebuta festival. Most places in Aomori were booked so we happened across this ryokan in a nearby town just a 10 minute train ride away. I'm glad we found this little gem. The lobby and rooms are newly decorated. There is a wonderful collection of Shikō Munakata woodblock prints in the lobby. The rooms are comfortable and air conditioned (it was quite hot outside). The rooms have lavatories and water closets, but bathing occurs at the onsen located next to the guest rooms. The town has a beach area with paddleboard rentals and several restaurants (Kannon was nice). The ryokan staff have been very cordial and helpful- but speak limited English. We opted for room only instead of dinner and breakfast as we were out for the festival. But each night they had prepared some soup for the guests as they returned to ryoken which we all enjoyed and appreciated.

14時30分過ぎに到着しましたが、しっかり15時のチェックイン時間まで待たされました。 フロントエリアのスタッフは、駆け足でバタバタ。 こういう宿は、業務の仕組みがなっていないので、悪い予感を抱き始めました。 施設は古めですが、部屋は清潔感あり。 温泉の泉質は、ナトリウム・カルシウム・硫酸塩・塩化物泉で、pH8.21の弱アルカリ性。 メタケイ酸は、131.6mg/Kgと多めなので、保湿力高く、美肌の湯です。 夕食の鮑の酒蒸し（オプション）は絶品でしたが、他の料理は普通。 甘〜い茶碗蒸しは、いただけません。 朝食は、ビジネスホテル並みかな？ この宿に限りませんが、海辺の宿なのに魚は鮭。 全体に、非日常感の無い宿でしたが、陸奥湾一望と夜の津軽三味線演奏会だけは非日常。 あと一点、一階に広いホールのような部屋があるのですが、中は乱雑な物置状態。しかも、扉がガラスなので、中が丸見え。 曖昧な経営姿勢が見て取れます。 興醒め。残念。

Aomori is a small city, and the Aomori Center Hotel is located 10 minutes walk from the train station, and seafood market. The entrance to the hotel is located on a back street so if you are coming on your own, it may be a bit hard to find. Plus the hotel reception is located on the second floor of an old building, and the entrance does not look like a hotel at all. Free coffee is available at the lobby though. Check in was smooth. The staff explained the hotel info to us, the public bath, the restaurant, the amenities, etc. We have the corner room which has a window on both side of the room. The hotel is a bit dated as mentioned by other guests. But given the relatively low price tag and convenient location, it is still a good choice for many people. The room has most the of facilities you need, TV, air conditioning control, kettle, mini fridge, a couch, and the bed is quite big and comfy. The onsen located on the second floor is one of the selling point of the hotel. Outsiders can pay to enjoy the onsen as well. There are also a canteen style restaurant which closes at 10:00pm, offers a variety of dishes at a reasonable price. Breakfast is offered at the same restaurant in a buffet style, with quite a variety of choice and drinks. When in Aomori, free flow of apple juice is not to be missed.

息子夫婦と2組で宿泊。ログハウス風のホテルは、エントランスからロビー、レストランに至るまで、広くはないですが重厚感があり、フォトポイントがいっぱい。当日(土曜日)満室のはずでしたが人の多さを感じす、極めて静粛でした。部屋(スタンダードツイン)は広く、調度・備品に不足なし。(早朝)窓越しの朝靄の景色はアート。夕食は、素材の味を活かすためにソース控え目の爽やかなフレンチで、青森の食材を十分堪能しました。飲物のサーブが若干遅いですが、顔を上げれば直ぐにスタッフと目が合うので不自由なし。また、朝食の食パンと(固めの)クロワッサンは最高。温泉は酸ヶ湯温泉(宿泊者は無料なので是非いくべき。)とは違う泉質ですが、十分刺激的(顔がひりひりしました)。ヒバ造りの浴室は広くはないのですが、ここでも人の多さを感じず、リラックスできました。スタッフの方々の対応は控えめですがプロフェッショナルで、外出から戻った際フロントに着く前に部屋の鍵(2部屋分)が差し出され、久々に”暗黙の意思疎通が出来ている”感覚になりました。全体として、お仕着せのホスピタリティがない分却ってリラックスできる、心地よいリゾートホテルです。

初の青森がここの宿でよかったです。温泉宿としては最高のロケーションで言うことなしの宿です。他の方も書いておられますがJTBで予約して最上階、海側の部屋になりました。見放し抜群で部屋の窓からは陸奥湾に離れ小島の湯の島、沿岸線を行き交う車が見渡せます。津軽三味線ライブを観覧しましたが三味線があんなに力強いものだとは思いませんでした。大人数収容で且つおばあちゃん客が多いので朝風呂1番乗り〜♪にはならなかったのが残念でした泣強いて言うならば食事会場が朝も夜もビュッフェ形式で人がウロウロするため動線が少し気になりました。ホタテを活かした料理が魅力的でした。

Located off the mountain road into a forest, it is a hotel with western style building. We arrived a bit late at before 5 o’clock. Check in was smooth. The hotel prepared an English version information sheet for the English speaking guests. We have a deluxe room facing the forest, and it is kind of a suite, with bedroom and living room area separated. There is a small balcony where when weather is good one can enjoy the good scenery. There are two air conditioners in both sides of the room which provide both heat and cool. Other room amenities are provided such as bottle water and coffee. There is no elevator in the hotel so you may have to carry the big bag up or down the steps. Onsen is located on the lowest floor. The outdoor onsen is very good, overlooking the forest. But it seems that the onsen is visible form the parking lot. There is a rest area with massage loungers outside the onsen. The dinner and breakfast are served in two separate restaurants. The dinner we enjoyed gave us a pleasant surprise, the food quality and taste are both very good. Breakfast was buffet style with good quality of food.

I decided to come all the way from Tokyo to this location near Aomori in the middle of some heavy heavy snowfall and snow blizzards. Thankfully, the Ryokan is literally in front of the train station. This was very helpful in the middle of a white out snow blizzard. Expect this kind of weather in northern Aomori in mid-December. The train station Asamushi Onsen on the Aomori Railway is fairly straightforward to access from Aomori Station and brings you to the Ryokan fairly easily. There isn't a big sign which would have been helpful during a snow blizzard. Check-in was fairly easy , even with no Japanese, the lady understood the important basic things required for simple check in I needed to know. I had asked for an ”ocean” view when booking and that was the best part really.. amazing view of Mutsu Bay from the room. The room was a really really big tatami floored room for just one. Nice softbeds, some loose matcha green tea leaves and tea set/kettle. Despite the spacious room, almost no space between ends of beds and cheap wardrobe. Kind of just shoved in there. TV and Japanese dining table although I didn't use them. And an Aomori Apple cake of some description to welcome, nice touch. Really annoying noisy air conditioner / heater, although managed to turn off the ”swing” function that kept me awake. Reception had a nice log fire, but it's a kind of dark and creepy place. I guess there's not much happening here in mid-winter. Here was the onsen. Pretty standard bathing facility is you're familiar with these kinds of onsen. No view so nothing special or noteworthy to write. Had to use it as the room had no bathroom. I didn't eat meals here so cannot comment. The location is excellent, near some places to buy food and the other onsens and places of interest all nearby. I wonder if they need to update one or two things as it does feel kind of outdated but for the price and size of room, cannot complain.

お料理がおいしいという口コミから決めました。結果　大満足です。 仲居さんの口調を気にする方がおられますが、あぁこれ？と思うことがありましたが、それは方言とお人柄。おいしいものを食べてもらいたい真心が伝わってきました。 温泉、特に古い浴槽には昔えら～い方が入られたであろうと想像でき、泉質にも大満足。そして、お食事。これについては言うまでもありませんが、本当に大満足しました。このお値段でこんなに出してもらって申し訳ないと思うほどでした。 特にホタテアワビ。しかも仲居さんが焼いてくれるので一番おいしい時を知りました。 手の込んだお料理も地域の名産も楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

青森駅からぎりぎり徒歩圏内。 無料サービスが多いなど、ドーミーイン共通のサービスはここでも受けられる。 築浅で全体的にきれい。テレビが大きい。コンパクトであるが扉が二重で廊下の音が気にならない。 13階の大浴場は、周囲に高い建物がないため街がよく見渡せる。マイクロバブルのシャワーヘッドと温泉で肌はつるつる。 13階建てでエレベーターが2台のため、移動が待たされる。階段が苦にならないなら問題なし。 立体駐車場の入口がややわかりにくい。
