Hotels With Breakfast in Aomori Prefecture, Japan

This hotel is located on Aomori's main street, about a 5-10 minute walk from the JR station. I checked in around 10 PM that night, and the front desk staff was incredibly nice and helpful. They meticulously explained the breakfast and check-out times, as well as the room cleaning schedule. Communication in English was seamless. The room size was quite large for Japan, and the twin beds could be pushed together. There's a Lawson convenience store downstairs, perfect for grabbing discounted rice balls and bentos every evening. The main street below the hotel also offers a wide variety of dining options, almost all of which are excellent. Most restaurants require reservations, but a little tip is to go around 5 PM to potentially snag a table without one. I wouldn't recommend the hotel breakfast, and frankly, I don't recommend any hotel breakfast in Japan compared to China due to the limited selection. The latest entry for breakfast is 9:30 AM, with food starting to be cleared at 9:45 AM and finishing at 10 AM – the meticulousness of the Japanese is something I just can't get used to! Later on, because we couldn't wake up early and didn't enjoy the food, we opted for convenience store rice balls and oden instead. However, the restaurant staff were still very friendly and professional. In conclusion, it's a bit of a walk from the JR station, but not too far. The price is on the higher side, but the room is relatively spacious for Japan, and the service is a big plus. I would definitely choose this hotel again if I return to Aomori.

Check-in was very smooth. In fact, they allowed us to check in earlier - about 1 to 2 hours earlier, I think. The room was already ready, so they allocated it to us when we arrived. The room itself was rather small but functional and clean, so we don’t really have any complaints other than it being a bit small. I guess this is Japanese standards. The pricing is fairly more expensive than the inns across the road, perhaps because of the location and also because it is very new. The property itself has a very nice onsen. The female onsen had a lot of apples floating in it, which was a very nice touch to showcase Aomori apples. The front desk staff are very nice and very friendly. They also have staff who can speak Chinese. Not that I am Chinese, but I can speak some Chinese better than Japanese, which I can’t speak at all. Nevertheless, the staff could converse in English, or at least some basic English. There’s free yoga and some classes, but we didn’t utilise them as it’s not really useful for tourists who would rather spend time outside the hotel. This seems more suited for locals who want a short getaway, but still a very lovely touch. Breakfast is paid separately and does not come with the room, so there is no comment on that. The property provides Nespresso capsules in the room, and there is also a better Nespresso machine near the check-in counter. I also love that they provide water for free without having to pay extra. The lounge is available for everybody and overlooks the bridge. They provide some free snacks and drinks depending on the timing - different items in the morning and in the evening. That being said, there is no alcohol being served. Also, the coffee there is very bad. I don’t understand why they don’t put the Nespresso machine in the lounge since they have one at the lobby. Overall, everything was quite perfect for this hotel. In fact, the location was the most perfect part. Once you exit the train station, you enter an elevator that goes up to the hotel. Since it was winter, I was afraid I would need to drag my bags for a long time, but it’s right outside the exit after you tap your card and turn left. If I remember correctly, the elevator is right there and there is no need to go outside at all. However, there are only two elevators servicing the entire building, so there might be some waiting time. I would advise leaving earlier if you have a train to catch. The only reason this is not a full-star review is because I requested about a one-hour late checkout due to our train time, and they told us we needed to pay - if I remember correctly, ¥2,000 per hour. I felt they were very rigid about the 11 am checkout time. To be honest, even if they had given it to us, we probably wouldn’t have used it anyway, as we later decided to change our train time to leave Aomori, since there isn’t much to do here. Still, the rejection and inflexibility made us feel very uneasy and unwelcome. I think they could have handled this better by being less rigid and more human. So that’s minus points from us. After all, this is part of hospitality, and it doesn’t hurt.

Very close to Aomori JR Station, most city attractions are within walking distance. The water pressure is excellent. The room is a bit small, and the facilities are a bit old but well-maintained. It's located on the main shopping street.

I really like this hotel ！The staff there are enthusiastic and nice! I lost my card and they told me it’s ok, I really appreciate that. The onsen is also amazing , I could admire the snow and enjoy. And after that, I could have ice cream. The chocolate one tasted good! The only downside is that the pillow is a little high to me. I hope I can have chance to stay there for several nights!

This hotel has a hot spring ♨️ that's connected to the main building, and the directions are very clear. The hot spring is also popular with locals, but it never feels crowded. The room key is an electronic card now, which is great! For check-in, there's a machine for self-service, especially helpful for non-Japanese speakers (with staff on hand to assist). The breakfast is incredibly abundant and super delicious. In the evenings, the same spot transforms into an izakaya, making dining very convenient. The bed is really comfortable for a good night's sleep, and in winter, the shower water is plenty hot, so no worries there. It's less than a 10-minute walk from Aomori Station, which is super convenient. The Furukawa Fish Market Aomori Gyosai Center is also just around the corner. Looking forward to staying here again next time!

The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Aomori Station and isn't on the main commercial street, but it's just around the corner from it. It's very close to Hirota Shrine, almost directly across the street. As soon as you enter the hotel, you're greeted by the scent of apples. There are apple models on display on the first floor, and the elevators are decorated with various apple illustrations and names. The breakfast selection is quite limited. While there are a few local specialties, the overall variety of dishes is too small. The scallop meat was very tiny and shredded, not whole pieces, putting it on par with the breakfast offerings at budget chain hotels.

When I book hotels in Japan, two things are most important to me: 1) Close to a JR station; 2) Separate toilet and bathroom. Looking purely at distance, Toyoko Inn and Route-Inn are closer to the station and cheaper. However, after staying at MyStays, I'm so glad I chose it – I really made the right decision! It's also very close to the train station, and there are many restaurants and izakayas downstairs (a Western restaurant across the street, even though its Google rating isn't high, we ate there two nights in a row and the food was pretty good!). Each of our family of three had our own bed! The support was sufficient, very good! The building looks yellow and old from the outside, but it's really nice inside! Don't be fooled by its exterior! Five-star rating.

The staff were very kind and helpful 😄 They all understood English (even if they didn't speak it) and we had no trouble communicating 😊 And the drip coffee was a nice addition We also had a nice sea view from our window

True to JAL's reputation! The breakfast is very Japanese-style, you won't get tired of it even after three days. The service is excellent, it'll make you feel Japanese too! The rooms offer variety, though the standard rooms are a bit small. Transportation is convenient, just an 8-minute walk down the main road from the station. Great value for money, highly recommended!

The hotel's location is excellent, right across the street from Aomori Station. Unfortunately, there was a lot of snow on the roads, making it difficult to drag my luggage into the hotel. Just one more street over are the Apple Factory and Nebuta House. It's a shame I couldn't visit Hirosaki due to the snow causing train cancellations.
