I used it on a trip to see the Nebuta Festival. When I was worried about hotels near Aomori City being expensive and lacking space, I trusted my friend's intuition that ``this retro ryokan might be a good idea!'' and was attracted by the low price, so I made a reservation. The result was very good!Although it's old, it's well kept and the breakfast has a slightly different flavor each day. The women's bath is not large, but it can be locked from inside while you are using it, so you can relax and take your time. The almond sweets in the room were also delicious and I bought them as souvenirs. There was 100% apple juice in the drink corner in the hallway, and I enjoyed a different flavor every day. Although it is far from major tourist spots, Sannohe Station is right in front of the ryokan, so it is convenient if you want to take the train.Anyway, it was a comfortable and very cozy accommodation for our trip.thank you very much!

It was a very comfortable stay.It is a quaint and historic building.I also felt in some places that they were making an effort to make me feel comfortable.There was a drink service, 2 types of 100% apple juice when I checked in, and 3 types in the evening, and it was very delicious.The food didn't feel luxurious, but it was gentle and very delicious.The rice and miso soup were provided with free refills.It's a small detail, but it seems like there are various ways to pay.I had paid by credit card in advance, but it seems that you can also pay by credit card or electronic money in addition to cash.However, since it is a historic building, there are many stairs, so it may be difficult for people with limited mobility.I visited by train, but there are very few trains, so if the timing is bad, you may have to wait a long time.It doesn't matter if you are using a car, but if you are using a train or bus, you should be careful.It's a very comfortable accommodation, so I can recommend it even if it's a little inconvenient 👍

The building is an old inn, but the interior, including the toilets, are kept clean. There is a welcome drink corner on the second floor, offering three types of coffee and 100% apple juice from Aomori. Among the tea sweets in the room, the Mito famous almond cookies were so delicious that I bought them at the inn on my way home. The landlady is also very nice and I would like to work with her again if I have the opportunity.

I stayed here to watch the Aomori Nebuta Festival. At first, I was looking for an inn near Aomori City, but I couldn't find it, so I searched a lot and found this ryokan.This is right next to Sannohe Station on the Aoimori Railway. It has a 130-year history, and although it is old, it is well-maintained and very comfortable.The floor was polished and shiny, and I was able to take a bath whenever I was there.The women's bathroom is apparently smaller than the men's bathroom, and can only accommodate two people.Once you lock the door, you can check on your smartphone from your room to see if the bathroom is being used.Yukata in sizes S and L were placed in the corner, and best of all, there was all-you-can-drink apple juice❗️, which was 100% fruit juice and changed daily! I always had three types in my fridge, and I always compared them every time I drank them. There were also coffee and tea machines.The landlady was also friendly and had a soft personality, and perhaps because we were close in age, we started chatting with each other.Breakfast, which starts at 6:30, includes a slightly different side dish each day, and fish is served each day. A luxurious breakfast! It was.This area is the birthplace of Noboru Baba, the author of ``11 Pikino Neko''.There are cat statues all over the city, and it's fun to find them like a treasure hunt❗️The locals I met on my morning walk greeted me from across the street.A relaxing landscape of rice fields in the mountains,I felt like time was passing slowly.

The inn is said to have a long history, so the building is old, but it is well-maintained and has a nice atmosphere, and it's been a long time since I've lived in a tatami-style inn. The hostess is also very nice, and there is coffee and three types of 100% apple juice from Aomori prefecture available at the hotel. In addition, the tea sweets in the room were delicious and were made from a famous confectionery in Sannohe town, and they were sold inside the inn, so I bought some as souvenirs. It was an inn that I would like to visit again if I have the opportunity.

Shimizu family inn reviewA historic building reminiscent of a good old inn.Family-run and homely customer service.Great attention to detail is given.Comparing it to a luxury ryokan is a no-frills one.I get the impression that they are doing a great job at this price.A style where you can freely drink apple juice and coffee.It's not luxurious, but it's hearty home-cooked food.Breakfast has many items. It's not luxurious, but there's a wide selection of items such as natto, eggs, and fish dishes that you won't be able to finish.Dinner is not luxurious, but there are many options and it is delicious.Local sake is available in sake bottles for 500 yen. Conscientious.Internet is available, but it's quite fast.Amenities such as toothbrushes, towels, yukatas, razors, shampoo, etc. are provided.Rooms are equipped with refrigerator and TVNo toilet or sinkEquipped with cooler and oil fan heaterToilet and washroom are sharedThe large public bath has a washing area for up to 3 people. Clean changing area.disadvantagesCoffee is weak.Since there are many coffee lovers, this is an area where you should not cut corners.Repeat customers come just because the coffee is delicious.Coffee beans are expensive, so it costs money, but I hope you don't skimp on it.Personally, I don't mind giving up apple juice, so I want coffee to be delicious.WashletNo longer required. People are turned away just because they don't have a washlet.I think it will cost money, but at least they should install washlets in the shared toilets in guest rooms.I think this is directly connected to attracting customers.Bedding was placed in the guest room so that you could sleep just by unfolding it, but when you unfolded it, it was a northern pillow.Personally, Kitamakura is contraindicated for me, so I would like it to be considered only for hotels, but only for inns.I slept with a 90 degree twist. I was able to sleep.Comparing the service of this type of inn to that of a high-end inn and calling it good or bad is rude.For less than 10,000 yen, breakfast and dinner are included, and they provide heartfelt service, so I would highly recommend Koreo. .I think the business is suffering, but I would like them to increase the number of repeat customers with their unique ideas and detailed services.

I used it on a family trip with two children. I think the hospitality is high, such as the slippers and stamps from Sannohe's famous 11 cats for children, free drinks of apple juice, and a bath that is open 24 hours a day.Whether you consider a building old or historical is up to you, but the restrooms have been renovated and are clean and not unpleasant. There are also plenty of amenities provided.The guest rooms and hallways are only separated by a single sliding door, and I think this is an area where people will have mixed reviews, but I think it's fun to take in and enjoy it as a look at what the historic inn looked like in the past.I will stay here again.

It was a nice and quiet inn with a Showa retro vibe.Dinner was delicious.One, I wish I had a washlet, a toilet seat heater, and low tank piping, but wouldn't it cost a lot of money to invest? The toilet inside Sannohe Station was also the same. Is it because it freezes in the cold? These days, it has become a necessity, so it would be helpful if you had it.

It's located in front of Mito Station, so it's convenient if you come by train as it's nearby!It's an old building with a very elegant atmosphere, and the price is more reasonable than a business hotel!The staff at the inn were very kind and the food was delicious! ! No complaints! ! !

It was a very atmospheric inn. I hope this type of inn continues forever.He was very friendly. The sweets that came with the tea were gorgeous, and they even gave me a souvenir because I had come from far away. The souvenir was a very delicious dorayaki.It was nice to be able to take a bath anytime.
