Close to downtown Hirosaki, convenient for sightseeing.I read reviews that said the breakfast was delicious, but the quantity and taste were average.There was no refrigerator in the room, so it was awkward to hand over anything I wanted to keep cold.Although it seems to be a fairly historic building, the inside was clean.I was probably staying in the new building, so I didn't feel the atmosphere, and unfortunately there were a lot of guests on the same floor, so it was noisy from the morning.I had high expectations since it's a long-established inn, but honestly everything was normal. Since the cost performance is not good, I will choose another accommodation next time.I didn't know there was a public bath, so I was happy.

Futon bed are very comfy.

I made a reservation based on the reputation of the delicious breakfast. The location was excellent and the retro Showa era atmosphere left a good impression. However, it was disappointing that there was no washlet and the toilet seat was cold. It's a relaxing inn that I'd like to stay at again if it's not winter.

A very traditional Japanese family hotel. Very clean and in a great location. Opposite is the famous local BBQ restaurant "Nakamichi BBQ"

A serviceable Ryokan without any major features. The rooms were comfortable enough. The mattresses were a bit lacking in cushioning. Breakfast was very nice, but typical for this kind of Ryokan. Not the sort of place that you would remember, though.
