Hotel berhampiran Oni Shrine, Hirosaki

弘前城に近く、コンビニも歩いて行けて、食事処も近くにありました。立地はバッチリです。 朝食のバイキング、おかずの種類が少ないかな。

I spent two nights here while backpacking around Japan with a rail pass. The staff was very helpful and the capsules were pretty comfortable. The lockers next to the capsule were a bit on the skinny side so I had to unpack some stuff from my backpack to squeeze it in. The pull down blind on the capsules have locks so you can leave some belongings on your bed while you visit the baths or find dinner in the neighborhood. The bath area is nice and hot though tile/grout needed some scrubbing. Be careful going into the sauna room as the door is short and easy to bump your head on if you stand up too soon after passing through. It was crazy hot so the wooden benches may burn your skin if you don't take one of the foam cushions in with you to sit on. The toiletries provided were of good quality, especially the razor. If you are staying more than one night, you can leave your luggage with the staff behind the counter while you go see the sights of Hirosaki. I hope to visit this city and hotel again someday.

Great for quick short trips, but overall a simple but yet great experience.

Was very decent, clean, and a good sized room! Was very convenient and the parking was nearby. I have no complaints!! Staff were nice and kind. It was located at a place where I could walk major historical sites and museums!

朝食付きシングルのプランで宿泊しました。オフィシャルホームページでは、朝食は新型コロナウィルス感染拡大防止策の一環として、バイキングでの提供を中止し、和食のお膳での提供と書かれていますが、朝食バイキングが復活していました。帆立貝焼き味噌・イカ大根・生姜味噌おでんなど、この地域ならではの料理が並んでいて、とてもよかったです。部屋は古いタイプの部屋で、暗めで枕元にコンセントなどもなく、小さなテレビがベッドから離れた窓際にありました。ベッドとテレビの間の広い空間は、壁に収納されたエクストラベッド用の空間でした。バスルームは現在では考えられないほど狭かったです。部屋のキーはカードキーではなく、昔ながらの真鍮キーでした。立地は駅から遠いと思われる方もいるかと思いますが、駅と弘前城の中間ぐらいにあり、夜の弘前公園を散策するのに都合がよかったです。

Everything was basic: small room, service, and breakfast. Nothing more. Nothing less. I had an efficient check-in and check-out. This is a typical business hotel. The breakfast buffet was set up on rearranged tables in the dining area like one would do at home. No public bath. It's best trait is the convenience to the JR station. The izakaya on the ground floor of this building is pretty good.

良いロケーションで、スタッフの皆様大変優しく対応してくださいました。 コインランドリーがあると伺っていましたが、コインランドリーまでのアクセスがちょっと面倒(客室フロアからのエレベーターが2階までなので、1度2階で降りてまた1階に降りないといけない)でした。 コインランドリー以外は全て満足でした。

Hirosaki Art Hotel is conveniently located right next to Hirosaki Station. The front desk staff are very friendly and nice, keeping our luggage before check in time and after check out. The hotel's room is comfortable and clean and the breakfast is very good. Hirosaki Art Hotel is a great value for money's choice, highly recommended.

It's a business hotel a bit far out from the station. Since there is no bus directly connected to it you have to walk 15 or so minutes to the main station, which would usually be fine, but during winter when the road is snowy, so it's a bit of more difficult. Nevertheless the quality of the hotel itself was good, staff was nice and helpful when I had to do a delivery, and the room is clean and just the right size for the price.

Simple, no frills, comfortable ryokan set in a very secluded beautiful narrow wooded valley with a rushing stream outside the windows. Be aware: the smell of paraffin from the lamps is unmistakable, pervasive, catches in your throat, and your clothes will smell of it after you have left. Having got that out of the way, everything else is makes it a really special experience. There is no wifi, phone signal, no television, so you can slow down, relax and appreciate the onsen and the nature surrounding you. The meals were healthy and delicious, featuring fresh foraged ingredients. You will not go hungry. We requested vegetarian meals a few days in advance. Eating the meal in the tatami dining room in the lamplight and watching the light fading outside was beautiful. You will make up your own futons and there are shared toilet and tooth cleaning facilities. Everything is spotlessly clean. There are several baths: two with a view of a delicate waterfall, which are not very hot, so good for summer, a mixed sex rotemburo with times for women only, an ofuro in the main building, and 2 cypress baths in a cypress building with a view of the river, and the water is gloriously hot. Plus an outdoor footbath. All are lit with atmospheric lanterns. There is a car park a short walk up the hill from the ryokan. The old wooden main building is full of character and decorated with items of local folk art. There are some small areas of garden planted with native plants near the entrance, but the rest of the surroundings are just the area's flora and fauna.
