Miinukset: An older style APA with a physical key entry

Plussat: Front desk actually attempt to verify your details when you are retrieving your keys from the key drop. Windows blackout was one of the best.

Plussat: Price, Location, staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Temp of water can’t control

Plussat: It near the Aomori station .

Plussat: It was the perfect place to stay at. Close to the station (10 min walk maximum, with luggage). The staff were all lovely and helpful. The rooms are small, but since I didn't plan on spending more time there than sleeping, it was perfect.

Plussat: Kindnesses of services Clean Reasonable price

Miinukset: Little bit far awar from train station

Miinukset: Old rooms not so clean

Plussat: Good price for a private room with bathroom. Ok location. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: The cleanliness and the state of the room is shameful. The wallpaper is falling off, the window frame black from dirt or mold, the bathtub could use a real scrub, the faucet is leaking, but I am most disgusted by the trash and  dust underneath the bed. I sense no pride in the upkeep of this hotel. I am considering to request a partial refund.

Plussat: - The staff were great! They were very accommodating to us. - Glad that the hotel lent humidifiers for free to the guests too. - The location was convenient. Right in the heart of the city, quite close to the station, and there was a convenient store downstairs.

Miinukset: The WiFi Connection wasn't really good. I couldn't really connect to it.

Plussat: There are many convenience stores nearby Near the bus stop Breakfast was great. I love the natto. There are cloth/room freshner. I love the smell so much.

Miinukset: The breakfast time 6.00-8.30 only. Too early for those whom wake up late The place is kinda far from the train station (it’s very hard to carry your luggage when it’s snowing) The room is old and the bed was smaller than the average

Plussat: Budget hotel, I didn't expect too much. Needed a place to sleep for the night which this hotel was able to provide

Miinukset: A bit further away from the city center than we would have liked

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent, coffee not so good! Location was fine.

Miinukset: There was no Onsen

Plussat: Wonderful hotel, in a city that was friendly with wonderful attractions and great food.

Plussat: Hospitality Amenities

Plussat: Beautiful room and location. Walking distance to a really good Yakiniku restaurant across the. Restaurants on the second floor and a bakery on the ground floor. Lawsons also on the first floor- what a value! Awesome breakfast buffet - Japanese style.

Plussat: The breakfast is superb. Highly recommended.

Plussat: Very clean and lovely rooms, and very friendly and helpful staffs.

Miinukset: friendly and helpful staffs.

Plussat: The room had standard amenities and staff were very kind and helpful. Staff could speak English to a certain degree.

Miinukset: As many others pointed out, the room was incredibly hot. When I checked in, the air was running at 28 degrees. I turned the air off and the room eventually cooled to 24 but it was still quite uncomfortable. We asked the staff to open the window and they came quickly, but it seemed to make some areas extremely cold while others were still way too warm.

Plussat: Brand new facilities, room felt very welcoming, loved the shower head

Plussat: Clean room. Nice viewing of the bay. Nice local foods at the breakfast.

Miinukset: The room was a bit small.

Plussat: The staff was amazing and helpful

Miinukset: No complaints

Plussat: We had a great stay - the location was very convenient to traveling on foot around town, as well as to be able to jet out of town with a rental car. Rooms were also comfortable.

Plussat: Friendly staff. Easy check-in & check-out. 15 minute walk to main train station. Clean.

Miinukset: Bed was uncomfortable (hard).

Plussat: Clean, easy to find, a walk from the train station but reasonably positioned to Aomori centre. Stayed two nights and it worked as a sight seeing base.

Miinukset: Expected more for the price outside of the major tourist cities ie Tokyo, Osaka. Room was small and whilst non smoking you could still smell smoke in the hallways from the smoking rooms.

Plussat: I liked the staff. The room was comfortable. Lots of restaurants,bars and shops nearby.

Miinukset: A bit of a walk from the JR Aomori station (15 mins or so).

Plussat: It's the perfect size. The price is very affordable. I really have no complaints.

Miinukset: It would've been great if it had a public bath. I had a non-smoking room, but it smelled like smoke. The staff allowed me to change rooms with no problems at all, so that was great. Otherwise, nothing else.

Plussat: Wonderful location and very good services

Plussat: Right next to the railway station. Lots of restaurants close by.

Miinukset: nothing.

Plussat: Great onset and very comfortable room. Large by Japanese standards.

Miinukset: The breakfast was poor. It was the worst that I have had in Japan. There were very few choices and the food taste was below average.

Plussat: - Breakfast was a good mix of Japanese and Western style food. - Location is superb, just in front of Aomori train Station. - Point of interests are all within walking distance. - Friendly and helpful Front office recep - Humidifier in the rooms was a plus during winter season

Miinukset: - Toilet was slightly smaller, so moving around maybe a challenge

Plussat: The staff were very friendly. It was easy to check in and out.

Miinukset: The parking lot was a bit lacking in extra spaces because of the snow pile-up. We still got a space, but there were few left.

Plussat: The staff was friendly and tried their best when I realised the room I booked was not non smoking as expected..

Miinukset: Hotel location was not convenient without a car. Rooms were small but sufficient

Plussat: The staff was very kind and helped ease the check-in process as well as explained the meal tickets. They called us cabs when we explained that we needed them. All in all, a wonderful property!

Plussat: Cleanliness. Good location. Helpful staff. Good breakfast.

Miinukset: Bed was a bit hard.

Plussat: Everything!

Plussat: Everything is good about this hotel. The room is spacious with a nice view. The meals are excellent with lots of options and the hot springs are great too. Also, there’s shuttle service to the aquarium and discounted tickets are available at the front desk.

Miinukset: If I have to say one thing, that might be the Wi-Fi connection which is not very stable.

Plussat: Thoughtful staff, we stayed 4 nights and got really dedicated treatment. From little things like the room staff remembered the preference of more mattresses when setting up the futon on the following nights to the Chef specially preparing additional delicious dishes and there was no need to visit the buffet table. The breakfast and dinner buffet spread is fabulous as well. The sea view room is an excellent choice. Short walk from Asamushi-onsen station. Definitely for someone looking for time away from the crowds.

Miinukset: Nothing really, though most traditionally styled ryokan tend to be a bit worn down but the room is still very well maintained.

Plussat: The Onsen was super nice and the view to the sea too... beside the hotel has a small Susie place which is very nice also recommended

Plussat: Very big and beautiful room with nice sea view; good onsen; great hospitality! I love the kotatsu, it’s warm and comfortable and intelligent.

Miinukset: Nothing except that the umbrella at the gate was easily blown apart by the strong sea wind so I was drenched in the rain.

Plussat: Staff were attentive to every detail and were understanding of my poor Japanese. The bath has a nice outdoors which is tastefully decorated. The bath inside the room also uses Onsen hot water. Tatami is not scuffed and room is well maintained. Vending machine (tea, beer, etc) on 1F. 9F you can enjoy milk vendo after Onsen. 2 min walk from 浅虫温泉駅

Miinukset: Its a shame the 1F bar is now a Salon/カラオケ, but you can order beer to your room anyway.

Plussat: Nice breakfast Buffet. Japanese Samisen show.

Plussat: Nice Traditional Room with Mountain View, very close to Asamushi-Onsen Station. Relaxing

Plussat: Location is very good, just 2 minutes walk from JR station. The staff on the front desk are very friendly and helpful. Their service is excellent. Thank you.

Plussat: 1. The dinner is excellent, must try. The lady at dining room is very friendly and helpful. 2. Free shuttle transfer from Asamushi train station to hotel, book ahead. 3. The room and public bath are clean and comfort. 4. The front staff are helpful.

Miinukset: The breakfast time is a bit finish too early.

Plussat: The staff were wonderful and made us feel at home immediately. Especially the two ladies who served us breakfast! Thank you so much for the special breakfast we had on our second morning. The onsen itself was great. We went in the morning and evening to try and make the most of it. We would highly recommend staying here. We hope to visit again in the future.

Plussat: First Ryokan that has Yukatas in Westerner-size Nice bath, large breakfast Incredibly large rooms

Miinukset: Bathroom could be 10cm longer. Your knees literally hit the wall when you are on the toilet Still no sandals above size 41 (EU)

Plussat: The breakfast was so filling and absolutely delicious with a local flavor. The staff were amazingly friendly, especially the kitchen staff who explained the food and talked about local attractions. The onsen was very nice and great to relax in after a long day. It is a bit of a ride from Aomori city proper on a train, but there are also hikes and other things to do in the area!

Plussat: Staff doesn’t speak English but they help themselves with translator so it’s okay. There is private onsen if you have tattoo. Good for sauna (but that’s only in the public bath so no for tattooed people!)

Plussat: Excellent attention from the staff. They were very accommodating.

Miinukset: Upon entering our room smelled a little bit of tobacco and we had to keep the windows open to air it out.

Plussat: we had a little birthday session at the hotel dining area, the staff was very helpful to provide dishes, forks, lighter etc. and they even do the dishes afterward. very appreciated.

Plussat: The location is extremely close to the train station; but it's not immediately clear from Google Maps walking directions, which had us walking at night through a snowstorm in a loop around the facility. In the morning we felt dumb, walking to the train station in the advertised one minute. The ability to request a private bath reservation is very nice and they are very accommodating. This is a service that I have never experienced short of a (very expensive) in-room onsen. I had trouble sleeping the first night and didn't get out of bed until after breakfast was served. I also had paid for lunch but did not partake; the staff noticed and removed it from the bill without us asking: absolutely exceptional service. The shuttle to and from the airport was on time and quite a drive (45 minutes) and offered as part of the reservation. The room was relatively large. There are Western-style beds in the room that were quite comfortable.

Miinukset: There is no dinner served. I should have read the listing more thoroughly, but it was not immediately apparent and should be made obvious, as every other ryokan I have stayed at has served dinner. The facilities certainly exist for serving dinner, with the table in-room and a large banquet hall that seems to go unused. Other ryokans in the area do seem to serve dinner, and there are not many reputable restaurants nearby. This can be mitigated by making a reservation in one of the many excellent restaurants in Aomori City, just 20 minutes away by train. Might I add that the trains run every 20 minutes until quite late (past 11PM). My partner and I indeed had an incredible cultural experience our first night here, but it could have been a disaster. It's thanks to my partner calling and finding out they had no dinner at the ryokan that we were not forced to make last-minute plans for dinner. The heater/AC unit made a loud continuous clicking noise at odd hours of the night, which woke me up several times (I am a light sleeper, it did not bother my partner). It is advertised as "Ocean View" but the view of Mutsu Wan is 99.5% obscured by trees (at least on the second floor).

Plussat: Breakfast was super tasty, room was spacious and comfortable.

Miinukset: Location.

Plussat: (1) The location is near the train station. After get out the train station, turn left and walk for 100 meters. (2) Although the front desk close at 21:00, you can still find staff if necessary. (3) The lady in the front desk speaks good English, the other staff also provide their bast service for the travelers.

Plussat: The staff are all so friendly and helpful. By the way, the hot-spring bath is so great!! We love it so much!!

Plussat: I liked the staff, they were really friendly. The atmosphere was really nice too, very relaxing. The room was better than I expected, it was wonderful! Great sea view.

Miinukset: The morning eggs were a little cold, but I arrived exactly at morning set up. Could have been my timing. It was nice that the Onsen had a private time slot.. but it wasn’t anything special beside private. Just a basic bath. (However, I did not go to the public bath)

Plussat: Yadoya Tsubaki is located across the street from the Asamushi-onsen JR train station. My room was quite large with very comfortable western style beds and a sitting area. I had an impressive view from my window of the coastline right behind the hotel. The local area is very quiet without much choice for dinner but, trains run every 30 minutes into central Aomori with the last train back at 11pm so I ventured into Aomori each night. The hotel it's self is very nice. The staff were very friendly and you have several onsen baths to choose from, public and private. The breakfast provided every morning is quite generous with freshly baked pastries, ham, eggs and soup.
