Hot Springs Hotels in Aomori Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is right above the station; after exiting, take the elevator on your left directly up. It's super convenient to stay here in winter. The room is spacious enough for two 26-inch suitcases, and the view directly faces the Apple factory, which is fantastic. The hotel also has staff who speak Mandarin, making it very easy to ask for help. They even assisted us with making restaurant reservations, which was wonderful. However, the hotel's 'hot spring' is really just hot water, and because a high percentage of guests are Chinese, some families bring their kids to the 'hot spring,' and they can be very noisy, acting as if their children's antics are cute and innocent. I wouldn't recommend using the hot spring facility.

The location is excellent, just over 300 meters on foot from Aomori Station, right behind the Fish and Vegetable Market (where you can get 12 self-selected seafood bowls for 2000 yen). I agree with many reviews; the hotel is quite old. It has been around for a while, so there are no USB outlets whatsoever. The room size is decent, allowing enough space to open a suitcase. However, the bathroom is extremely small. How small, you ask? You'll hit your head when standing up from the toilet, and you're bound to bump into something when turning around. But, my significant other was very satisfied. Even though it's old and the bathroom is tiny, it has a large public bath and its own restaurant. The public bath is also open to the public, with a communal lounge area, manga, and chairs for relaxation, and both indoor and outdoor bathing options. So, the issue with the bathroom is tolerable. The hotel's restaurant operates until 11 PM, and my significant other commented that the food was good and cheaper than outside izakayas, offering a good selection of basics (rice bowls, noodles, steak, sashimi, fried dishes, etc.). Because it has its own restaurant, the breakfast area is also spacious, with apples and apple juice that were delicious. Overall, I highly recommend it.

The hotel is conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from Aomori JR Station. If you're arriving by Shinkansen, you'll need to take the JR line from Shin-Aomori to Aomori Station. The hot spring bathhouse on the 13th floor is excellent; you can go straight up there for a soak. They also offer free ice cream and a selection of manga to read, making for a really pleasant environment. The rooms are a bit small, but they do have a shower.

A great hotel. The room, while compact as usual, was incredibly well-equipped, fitting everything you could possibly need into a small space. We had a large and a small suitcase, and had to open them separately – it was a bit of a squeeze, but we made it work. There's a laundry room with washers and dryers. A communal hot spring bath is available on the same floor. In the evenings, they offer complimentary ice pops, and Yakult during the day. The lobby features a complimentary refreshment station with coffee, tea, and other drinks. Be warned, the coffee is bitter and scalding hot, so if you're particular about your brew, you might want to skip it. If you do decide to have one, I strongly recommend finishing it before heading out, as there are no trash cans on the street outside! 😂

Superb views, buffet dinner options, diverse indoor outdoor bath options with salt and clear water!! A rare gem  for families. Staff spoke English at front desk and restaurants, and welcome descriptions note is written in English as well. Alternate timings at bath for Men and women assures equal views for both. The outside open air bath at the beach is probably the hit and can get crowded at sunset and less so during sunrise. The open air bath attached to the indoor area bath offers better sunset views, from an elevation of about 30 meters. We (family of three) enjoyed it very much and probably rank it the best of our three prefecture experience with respect to the bath.

This is really a great hotel. Staff are all nice, hotel’s facility is also good. Free drink and snacks are available in hotel lounge. Highly recommended to anyone who planned to tour in Aomori!

The buffet has food from all over the world. In January, there were many ski experts from Europe. The hot springs are also great. You can soak in the hot springs while looking at the snow-capped mountains. It is very convenient for skiing. There are also coin-operated laundry machines and dryers.

The environment is great! The room is clean and warm, and the bedding is as comfortable as at home. The front desk lady is warm and thoughtful, and patiently answers all questions. The breakfast is rich in variety and tastes great! The location is convenient, and there is everything you need to eat, drink and have fun around. The price-performance ratio is super high, and I will choose here again on my next trip! Highly recommended to friends~

Breakfast and dinner are divided into Japanese and Western styles. Dinner is very ceremonial, especially French food. The hotel is very close to the ski resort and Suantang Hot Spring, and there is a shuttle bus. The restaurant has a good view. It is very pleasant to sit in the warm restaurant, drink hot coffee, and look at the snow outside.

We stayed at Asamushi Onsen (about 20mins drive from Aomori downtown) as part of our 2025 Spring trip to Aomori area, and booked Tstsumikan Onsen hotel to stay for the night. The hotel location is great. I think all guest rooms come with open ocean view. No private hot spring tub in the guest room but the large gender-specific hot spring pools are open privately to the overnight stay guests from 8PM to the next morning. The stay comes with 2 meals. The food is good and the dinner was served directly in the guest room. The next morning Japanese breakfast was served in the great tatami dinning room, and the breakfast package even comes with free coffee in the gift shop café after the meal. The staff are warm, and the service is good. My recommendation to this hotel come with no hesitation.
