A teacher from Fukushima Prefecture, who I worked with as a trainee about 35 years ago, was going to Aomori for an inspection with about 10 people, so I looked for various accommodations, but none of them met the conditions.I jumped in with no luck and it turned out OK.Considering it's an all-inclusive inn, the drinks were pretty good, and the food was very delicious, with plenty of local ingredients.The teachers were very satisfied and said they would like to visit again with their families.The bath is a good size and the temperature is perfect. When I was having a drink in the lobby after taking a bath, I heard the manager's live shamisen performance. It was a great stay. thank you very much.

A nice, calm and beautiful accommodation. The hot water was wonderful, and the food made with seasonal ingredients from Tsugaru was also great (the black garlic was exquisite).I fell in love with making kokeshi dolls, which I had always wanted to try, and it was so cool to see the innkeeper practicing the Tsugaru shamisen.

Visited for a day bath.The parking lot was almost full. I have a feeling it will be crowded.When I entered, I was told by the young master that the women's bath was crowded.Anyway, I went up to the women's bath to see what was going on.While I was waiting at the front desk with another couple, they played the Tsugaru shamisen for me.Pay after confirming that the women's bath is OK. 500 yen per person with JAF presentation.Tatami flooring inside the building. Goldfish Neputa are displayed on the ceiling of the hallway.Some of the changing rooms have lockers with keys, and when I went there, they were all in use.There was a hair dryer and all the amenities, but a water dispenser was at the front desk.There are 10 bathhouses and an open-air bath.No sauna. The mirror was old and had a lot of dark spots that made it hard to see. Since it's an inn, they have a good selection of shampoos.I guess the hot water is just running water with water added.It's tasteless, odorless, and transparent, and there's nothing special about it, but the water temperature is about 43 degrees Celsius, which is a good temperature. Around the spoutHot spring ingredients are crystallized.They said it was crowded, but when we finally got in, the three of us were able to fit comfortably.The water was nice and smooth.

My mother and I used it in August.I was able to spend a very relaxing time.I was very grateful for the free drinks in the lounge. Snacks were also placed. The customer service from the employees was also pleasant. The breakfast and dinner meals were delicious and the portions were just right and I was very satisfied. A wonderful inn that makes me want to go again. I also enjoyed being able to walk barefoot.

It was my first time visiting Kuroishi Onsen. To get to the hotel, I rented a car from Shin-Aomori Station and stopped at Takayama Inari Shrine. It's not a large inn, but the hot springs and food were very good. In particular, the ingredients for the food seemed to have been carefully selected, and everything was delicious! In particular, the salt-grilled river fish was the most delicious I've ever eaten. The sashimi and scalloped rice were also delicious. On the day I stayed, they had a drink-inclusive experiment with draft beer, wine, sake, shochu, etc. (pretty good stuff). There was also a draft beer 🍺 for the welcome drink ~ There was a half-finished picture of a Nebuta in the hall of the inn, and the landlady said that the Kuroishi Nebuta was also good. It is said that the people who pull the Nebuta are children, but their numbers are decreasing due to the declining birthrate. I've never seen a Nebuta Festival before, but I can feel the atmosphere of people preparing for it in many places in Aomori, and I'm getting excited. I'd like to see all the Nebuta Festivals someday.

We stayed with a special plan that was limited to a limited number of days. When I entered the room, there was a futon laid out and the heater was already turned on, so I was able to relax and feel warm.The indoor hot spring was quite warm, and the outdoor bath was just the right temperature for a long bath. The hot water had a clean and refreshing feel, and my skin became smooth. In addition to shampoo, conditioner, and body soap, they also had facial cleansing foam (which also removes make-up) and moisturizing gel, so it was nice that I only had to bring a towel.The all-you-can-drink draft beer and lemon sour until 21:00 was also great. It's wonderful to have a drink while listening to the sound of the shamisen!There is nothing to say about being able to eat a full meal for both dinner and breakfast! Especially the rich tofu for breakfast was so delicious that I wanted a second helping!I would definitely stay there again!
