Hotel berhampiran Stesen Yadomae, Aomori

Check-in was very smooth. In fact, they allowed us to check in earlier - about 1 to 2 hours earlier, I think. The room was already ready, so they allocated it to us when we arrived. The room itself was rather small but functional and clean, so we don’t really have any complaints other than it being a bit small. I guess this is Japanese standards. The pricing is fairly more expensive than the inns across the road, perhaps because of the location and also because it is very new. The property itself has a very nice onsen. The female onsen had a lot of apples floating in it, which was a very nice touch to showcase Aomori apples. The front desk staff are very nice and very friendly. They also have staff who can speak Chinese. Not that I am Chinese, but I can speak some Chinese better than Japanese, which I can’t speak at all. Nevertheless, the staff could converse in English, or at least some basic English. There’s free yoga and some classes, but we didn’t utilise them as it’s not really useful for tourists who would rather spend time outside the hotel. This seems more suited for locals who want a short getaway, but still a very lovely touch. Breakfast is paid separately and does not come with the room, so there is no comment on that. The property provides Nespresso capsules in the room, and there is also a better Nespresso machine near the check-in counter. I also love that they provide water for free without having to pay extra. The lounge is available for everybody and overlooks the bridge. They provide some free snacks and drinks depending on the timing - different items in the morning and in the evening. That being said, there is no alcohol being served. Also, the coffee there is very bad. I don’t understand why they don’t put the Nespresso machine in the lounge since they have one at the lobby. Overall, everything was quite perfect for this hotel. In fact, the location was the most perfect part. Once you exit the train station, you enter an elevator that goes up to the hotel. Since it was winter, I was afraid I would need to drag my bags for a long time, but it’s right outside the exit after you tap your card and turn left. If I remember correctly, the elevator is right there and there is no need to go outside at all. However, there are only two elevators servicing the entire building, so there might be some waiting time. I would advise leaving earlier if you have a train to catch. The only reason this is not a full-star review is because I requested about a one-hour late checkout due to our train time, and they told us we needed to pay - if I remember correctly, ¥2,000 per hour. I felt they were very rigid about the 11 am checkout time. To be honest, even if they had given it to us, we probably wouldn’t have used it anyway, as we later decided to change our train time to leave Aomori, since there isn’t much to do here. Still, the rejection and inflexibility made us feel very uneasy and unwelcome. I think they could have handled this better by being less rigid and more human. So that’s minus points from us. After all, this is part of hospitality, and it doesn’t hurt.

A bit of a walk from Aomori Station but the hotel and room are well-equipped and has a nice view of the city and surrounding mountains & sea. It was an enjoyable stay and would not hesitate to book this hotel again.

The room is nice and awesome, public bath is superb and very good to enjoy every night! Breakfast has many options and yummy. One little thing is the distance from station is nearly 15 mins walk in the chill weather.

A stylish, modern hotel with reception on the 5th floor. Nice seating or working area near reception, also amenities and a microwave. Room nice and adequate size for a short stay. On arrival the room was prepared for single occupant but this was quickly corrected. Location fine for walking to supermarkets and train/busses.

The hotel is located right next to the highway, making it very convenient if you are driving to other cities. It’s about a 15-minute drive from Aomori Station. Breakfast is included, but the selection is limited, and the 9:00 AM cutoff time is a bit early. The room facilities are somewhat dated, and the duvet was a little small.

Less than 5 mins walk to and from JR Shin-Aomori Station (East exit) which also houses the Aomori Tourist Information Centre. I chose to stay near this JR Shin-Aomori station instead of JR Aomori station as the shinkansen doesn’t go to JR Aomori station. I need to take the shinkansen early in the morning on the following day to go to Akita and then transfer to the Akita shinkansen to head to my next accommodation in Tazawako. From JR Shin-Aomori station, it’s convenient to take limited express trains direct to Hirosaki station to visit Hirosaki Castle and Park. It’s also a short journey to JR Aomori station which is where the city centre of Aomori is located. Other than the F&B shops within Shin-Aomori station which close very early around 8pm if I recall correctly, there aren’t any F&B shops around the hotel. Both Family Mart and Lawsons convenience stores are located a few mins walk from the South exit of the train station which is located on the other end of the station.

Stayed 6 nights and was excellent! Left behind phone in the room. Came back after day trip and the phone was still there. This speak highly of the staff integrity. Location is less 5min walk from Aomori Train Station and close to some places of interest and surrounded by restaurants and convenient stores.

Superlativi. Cena e colazione buonissime, personale super disponibile per ogni necessità, onsen privati meravigliosi ed aperti tutta la notte. Grazie per l’incantevole soggiorno 🥹🥹

We were two people. The room we stayed at was not big. If you have two suitcases it will be hard to open up both of them at the same time. We didn’t have suitcases, and therefore the space was not a problem for us. The staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. I lost my gloves at a bus, and they helped me to get them back. You also got apple juice as a welcome drink at the front desk (very nice apple juice!). We used baggage storage after checking out, which was no problem. The room was very clean. When we were there they had an eco plan, which was that the room got cleaned only once at our 4 night stay, but could get towels whenever we wanted. We though it was good from the environment perspective (but we decided to not have any cleaning at all). Overall I though our stay at this hotel was very good.

預訂的榻榻米日式住房，本來計劃去八甲田山景點賞景及酸湯温泉，但是無奈正巧下大雪，寸步難行，無車。所以全程衹能都在酒店看電視堆雪人。 酒店本身景色及餐飲都不錯。 酒店內有小超市（販賣泡麪花生等簡單食物，滑雪板等，無生活用品）。 洗澡為公共浴室，房間也有淋浴但無沐浴露等用品。 推薦去公共澡堂，體驗日式民宿澡堂，有室內和户外泡池，免費冰淇淋。 有早上 9:00 酒店出發到青森站的班車， 下午 3:30 從青森站到酒店的班車（提前預訂）。新青森站 taxi 到酒店 15000 日幣。雪季 uber 根本叫不到車， 依賴酒店班車。 這家酒店適合滑雪人士居住。 賞景推薦非雪季。（附青森的雪山真的很大，雪景很美）
