"Excellent experience"

"This is an amazing peaceful place. Just perfect for calming minds and taking care of your body in local thermal water. Interior in this hotel is so charming and very traditional. Everybody from the stuff is also really cute and polite. I think if we return here next time in the summer it will be even more interesting with more available facilities of this area. But even now, in middle of April it’s so good and nice. "

"Super cute little hostel, though I’m sure it’d be way better in the summertime! We came in what was off-season (early April), so we basically had the place to ourselves. It was quiet, and very cold, and a lot of the businesses in the area weren’t quite open at regular hours yet, but we still enjoyed our time! It is a little far from any cities, so accessibility is slightly difficult without a car (there is one or two buses a day? or every other day I believe?), but we managed to rent a car and get around to other parts of Aomori easily enough. The staff were lovely. Ready to help us during their opening hours. Breakfast was provided and while small, is always appreciated as a traveller! They offer the areas specialty dish for dinner at a very affordable cost as well, we didn’t get the chance to try it but it always looked good when we’d walk by! There is a lovely onsen hotel right down the road that is very affordable, and, while simple, is essentially all you need for some relaxing. "

"Nice place"

"Very clean hotel. The building almost feels more like a small university dorm than a traditional business hotel. The staff doesn't speak much English, so make sure you have at least a rudimentary level of Japanese or a translation device if you're staying here, but they are very helpful and friendly. Of note, there are no elevators or escalators in this hotel, so you need to carry your luggage up the stairs if you're staying on the second floor. If you have mobility issues, I would recommend requesting a room on the first floor. The hotel is located in a fairly quiet area of Odate. Odate Station is within walking distance, but it's a bit of a hike (about 15-20 minutes, depending on how fast you go). The hotel is located near train tracks and the sound-proofing isn't great, so you will hear both trains outside and any neighbours you may have - the trains are infrequent and don't run past about midnight, but if you wind up with a neighbour who makes noise (even if it's just snoring), you will definitely be aware of it. Odate Station has regular trains running to Hirosaki and Aomori City in Aomori, as well as Akita City in Akita, so the hotel works great for getting to those areas. The hotel is located next to an onsen and an overnight stay comes with a free voucher. I didn't get a chance to use mine, but it was a nice bonus. Overall, I found the hotel to be a very relaxing stay and a good spot to use to explore nearby Akita and Aomori. Would happily recommend!"

"Quiet, clean, staff are helpful and kind, great restaurant, excellent views and location. It’s about 15 mins drive to a small local town. "
