"Aomori was the only city where I could afford to stay in a Smile Hotel and it was worth the price. There were washing and drying machine available on the second floor, and nice quality breakfast to save some money. It was a bit far from the Aomori station but if you have a JR pass, take the JR bus at the stop no. 1 and get off after a few stops, but walking would really take you 15 minutes at most. Great place."
"The front desk staff and all the supporting staff including the dining room were fantastic We thoroughly enjoyed the Onsen. The breakfast and dinner were phenomenal and classic Japanese. The Japanese style rooms are fairly sparse and simple. Overall, a wonderful experience. The source of first trip to Japan and our first time staying in Ryokan Onsen but surely won’t be our last. Thanks to Mr. Suzuki and staff for a very memorable experience."
