I thought that 1km from the station would be a comfortable distance, but if you walk in the wind and snow in winter, it will be completely different. It really looks far away, and the service is very good.The hotel offers free apple juice in the lobby, which is also a local specialty.

March 26th 2025 - Japan had Gale wind advisory which means the wind gusts were strong enough to cause JR and other rail services to be impeded by delays. Unfortunately this delay caused us 8-10 hours of our time. We had no option but to stay the night in Aomori as past midnight there are no public transportation services other than taxi. From Shin Aomori to this hotel it cost us just around 1000 yen which was well worth it - considering it was cold and windy. The Hotel is located about 5-8 minute walk away from 7/11 and a Lawson, maybe 10-12 minutes from the Family Mart. This is a Port city so it is unique in a way I cannot describe. Its quiet, yet there are karaoke bars and regular bars open well past 2AM - this is different than most cities in Japan. The taxi service here is strong; we used Go Taxi. Uber eats is possible here as well as we ordered around 12:30 am and got our food within an hour from order time - everything made fresh and the restaurant was slightly further than found in bigger cities. The hotel’s amenities were outstanding- all sorts of skin care, the standard Japan amenities (comb, toothbrush, razor, head band for when you wash your face, cotton swabs, you name it they had it. Well i mean to convey the fact that even higher end hotels dont carry nearly as much. The staff was extremely helpful and efficient. Used Papago to translate and communicate and there was no issue. Last minute booking 70$ and I was impressed considering ive stayed in hotels triple the price with less room, poor cleanliness, and overall disappointment. Not this hotel, extremely great and happy my fate led me to this hotel.

I wanted heating, they claimed no built in heating saying it is not winter. So I requested portable heater. Staff brought it. But it did not even turn on. So I told them again. Then they brought other one. Second one turned on, but broke down after few minutes. So I told them about that and they brought another one, which broke down again after few minutes. Plus there was some smoking smells. I got frustrated with never ending issues so I shortened my stay but they didn’t even refund.

Breakfast is excellent, must try for at least one time! They provide free sake even at the breakfast time (I don't drink though)... Nice & clean, staff are helpful & polite, just a bit away from JR station...
