I stayed here during the middle of the 3-day weekend in October. If you come from National Route 7, the entrance may be difficult to find, so coming from the west exit of Aomori Station may be the correct answer. I think the environment is relatively quiet.Although the bath is not a hot spring, it is as big as a hot spring, and although I brought my own bath supplies, I was glad that shampoo was provided. However, I noticed that the ceiling fan in the changing room was covered in dust. .The room was also nice and clean.The breakfast I ate during the trip wasn't that good either, but for some reason the white rice was really good. lolOf course it was good overall.The milk was from the local Hagiwara Milk, and as is typical of Aomori, they also had apple juice.I had an idea to use apple juice as a souvenir, so I decided to buy the same one at a certain supermarket. I bought a box of them and returned to Sendai.I feel like the customer base was more people from the field than tourists.I would like to stay again next year. thank you very much.

Although the exterior looked old, the inside of the room had been renovated and was clean. I was satisfied because the public bath was large and the price was cheap.

Although it is called a guest house, it is clearly a high-ranking BH. There is no bath in the room, only a toilet, but the large bath has 12 chairs and a large bathtub. There is a microwave washer and dryer. There is also a convenience store, although it is a little far away. However, since it is on the west side of the station, there are almost no restaurants. If you cross the connecting bridge on foot, you can exit to the east exit, so you will have to walk a bit, but the location is not so bad. The parking lot is also spacious. Due to the approaching typhoon, I was able to store my bicycle indoors.

Breakfast service. Breakfast is included in the lodging fee regardless of whether you request breakfast or not, and the lodging fee will not be cheaper even if you do not include breakfast. (When I was in elementary school, it was 7000 yen)This inn is modeled after a super simple hotel and is suitable for overnight stays.It's located in a residential area behind Aomori Station (west exit) where there aren't many restaurants where you can eat out, so if you don't have a car, you may feel inconvenienced and restricted.The contents of the service breakfast are (>_<) disappointing. Always the same, no change. Just being able to eat it is a blessing.However, it is a lonely accommodation where there are not many visitors except during the busy season, so it is best to have the large public bath all to yourself!By the way, each room has a toilet, but there are no facilities for sweating, so it may be a difficult accommodation for people who don't like public baths.It is relatively close to Aomori Station and the national highway, and has a large parking lot, with a flat parking lot for business operators, large bus operators, bus groups for sports matches and event participants, Hokkaido touring, and other users. This may be a good facility for people who are OK with spacious accommodations and cheap accommodation, as long as they can put up with the inconvenience of meals.Busy seasons are summer festivals, cherry blossoms, and autumn leaves season. It's usually empty, but I think the entire facility is clean.It may be obvious, but you are not allowed to bring anything you bought outside into the dining hall, and you will be scolded if you bring in food and drinks to compensate for the disappointing breakfast service.An outsourced restaurant company that has a contract with the inn? It seems that he is in charge of cooking, and you will be criticized for using harsh (male) language that is not suitable for the service industry, so be careful!I would not recommend it to people who are looking for quality food service at an inn. Other than eating, it's a pretty good facility for an overnight stay.It's modest at the level of a guest house, and apart from the inconvenience of food, I have a good impression of the large public bath (about 20 people in the men's bath, no sauna in the women's bath), the front desk staff, and the facilities, so it really has its pros and cons. It feels like it.
