If you are looking for a traditional Japanese experience with staff who are very welcoming and friendly this is your place to come to. Dinner was included and the food was an amazing assortment of Japanese food of the best quality and service - from memory it was about eight courses so we tried to eat a light lunch where possible - though apple pie and ice cream was to be tried down by the beach and in town so I’m not sure if we succeeded there The onsen was a peaceful experience It was awhile since I’d been to one - so to help any first timers - you can wear your yakata and slippers there and bring your towel, the red sign is for ladies and the blue for men. You then disrobe and have a shower before going into the onsen, then soak in the very hot water and cool off in the rather cold water. After towelling dry you can use their toiletries and hairdryers etc We hired a car for our time in Aomori as we travelled and stayed in other places and this made it easy ti go into Aomori town and do day trips as well. It was easy to drive there with the aid of Google maps and east for us Aussies as we drive on the same side of the road. Maps and translate apps were helpful for those times we needed them and the locals were friendly and helpful wherever we went - I think they were please to see tourists in the summer time - apparently only one percent of tourists go this part of Japan and we recommend more people do to see their beautiful forests and waterfalls and mountains

Most Japanese places have twin beds so we put the beds closer together ourselves and I also put the spare futon mattress on my bed because the bed needed a bit of extra comfort. There is a bit of a smell of Sulfur which cannot be helped as it comes from the natural spring water and you get used to it
