Prefettura di Aomori, Giappone: hotel con terme

Il Dormy Inn Aomori Natural Hot Spring ha un fantastico soggiorno. La posizione è molto conveniente, vicino alla stazione Aomori e in una facile raggiungimento dei ristoranti e attrazioni vicini. La camera era pulita, confortevole e ben attrezzata con tutto quello che doveva essere per un soggiorno rilassante. Uno dei principali punti di vista è stato il bagno caldo naturale di primavera, assolutamente eccellente per rilassarsi dopo un lungo giorno.Le strutture erano pulite e ben mantenute, con le opzioni di bagno sia all'interno che all'esterno che hanno reso l'esperienza ancora migliore. Il complimentare brano di notte tardiva è stato anche un grande toccamento, aggiungendo valore aggiunto al soggiorno. In generale, un soggiorno molto confortevole e piacevole con grandi attrazioni e un ottimo valore. Molto consigliato quando visitare 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.

Questo hotel caldo di primavera si trova sul cima di una montagna. E ci vuole circa un'ora per guidare su una collina per arrivare all'hotel, ma la vista è completamente vale la pena, le stelle di notte erano così bellissime. La calda primavera all'aperto era anche comoda. L'hotel non aveva un ascensore, quindi forse è meglio che tu stia confezionando un bagaglio più piccolo. Il pranzo era verrrryyyyyy buono e fresco, e la birra Aomori Apple che avevano era sooooo buono. Il buffet breakfast offre anche diversi tipi di cibo da inglese a giapponese. Uno dei motivi che non siamo un fan è il vestito blu all'interno che offrono, perché non sembrava buono e sembrava un terapeuta di massaggio. Haha

Dormy Inn chain hotels rarely disappoint me, and this still holds for Hirosaki one. It is close to Hirosaki Castle rather than Hirosaki Station, but the city has a circular bus that runs every 10 min., and the bus stop for the hotel is just across the road, so it’s not a problem for those who arrive by train. The room is moderate in size by Japan business hotel standard, but it has the added benefits of offering relaxation onsens. As usual, its onsens have both open and indoor pools. This hotel also has cold water pool and sauna. You get free Yakult in the morning, ice pops in the afternoon till late evening. I recommend.

Service was good. There was a staff who is stationed at the entrance, checking with guest who arrived by car. They will ask for your name, provided clear instructions of where to park. Unfortunately, I have accidentally left the lights in the car switched on. A few moments later when I was doing my check-in, the front desk staff quickly informed me about it. The facilities are good. Food is really good, very different from the other Hoshino resorts in Aomori that I have stayed. At KAI Tsugaru, it is Kaiseki instead of the usual buffet style. The staff took pains to explain and share the reason for each dish that was served. There are only 41 traditionally-furnished and generously-sized rooms offering both Western and Japanese-style designs which gives a very unique and dedicated experience as compared to other hotels which has many rooms.

My first night in Japan 2024 Trip. In a faraway county. Very peaceful. I drove there alone in the darkness. Thought that there might be very few people there. But I met so many grandmas stayed there as a large group. Met them in onsen too. Very strange experience but very touch. Can feel of aging society. The ryokan guys also booked a local izakaya for me, so I had dinner easily, no need to nervous there won’t be a seat. The Room was so nice and big. Many hidden rooms inside. Would be much better if they haven’t prepared ice water for me during early winter. (I need normal temp water or hot water) Breakfast was great Overall was great I love this place. Very relax and no tourist. I spent the morning in a small garden in front of the hotel alone. Listen to water sound. Recharged my energy.

Sono stata incredibilmente fortunata! Quella sera il tramonto era infuocato da nuvole infuocate, e il giorno dopo il cielo era cristallino. Immergersi nelle sorgenti termali mi ha dato la sensazione di avere il posto tutto per me, e il cibo era fantastico. Era esattamente il tipo di hotel giapponese che adoro.

I visited this hotel with my family, and surprisingly, only our group was there. I had booked a room with fullboard meals, but I was disappointed to find that the buffet line was different from other hotels I’ve stayed in. Instead of having a variety of meals, they only served one set per person. This was not enough for my family.

La mia principale ragione per andare a Ajigasawa è stata di visitare il santuario Takayama Inari con le sue serpenti porte Tori. Questo ryokan è stato trovato da recensioni nel quartiere. Era un getto tra questo e l'hotel vicino, che sembra essere gestito dallo stesso gruppo! Il ryokan mostra la sua età. Ma è molto comodo, pulito e il servizio, soprattutto da Noro che ha usato la sua app di traduzione così bene, è stato impeccabile! Hanno mappa della proprietà in inglese. Se bevi (alcol), è disponibile in spade! Ci sono senza limiti snacks, acqua, soda, popsicles, caffè, tè e alcol per gli ospiti. Il mento è aperto al pubblico, sembrava che l'intera villaggio scendesse dopo cena per avere un dip! Abbiamo trascorso una notte: cena e colazione erano eccellenti!

Consiglio di soggiornare per almeno 2 notti e 3 giorni se prenotate questa struttura. Dato che il tragitto per raggiungere l'alloggio è lungo (40 minuti in taxi fino al punto di ritrovo e altri 20 minuti con la navetta), è necessario prevedere tempo sufficiente per trascorrere un'intera giornata lì. La pulizia e la cordialità del personale sono state di livello 5 stelle, e consiglio vivamente di gustare una birra alla spina a cena. L'unico inconveniente è che i pagamenti extra sono accettati solo in contanti. È stato un viaggio davvero bello e confortevole, e divertente e piacevole anche senza il mio telefono. Conserverò questo ricordo a lungo!
