Lamp No Yado Aoni Onsen

冬天每個房間都提供了一個火爐取暖，但是沒有外排的煙道，全靠自己定時開窗換氣以及睡前關掉，這麼重要的事情，還是我看火爐上的日語説明知道的，有很大的安全風險。另外冬天的弘南路線バス改道，酒店的官網的冬季交通訊息是錯誤的，打電話約接送車的時候也沒有提及這一點，全靠熱心的案內所阿姨幫我確認行程。温泉的泉質並不出眾，是無色無臭的天然水，相當於我跑到深山裡去泡了熱的農夫山泉。旅館設施老化隔音差，遇上忘年會免不了吵到深夜。 東北地區有很多景色，温泉，設施，遊客便利度更好的温泉鄉，非常不建議青荷温泉。

와이파이 안되고 전기도 안들어오고 춥긴 하지만 그 모든 걸 감수 할 만한 곳 불편함늘 잊게 만드는 아름다운 자연 환경과 온천 나만 알고 싶은 명소

This was one of my wish list. It is actually not VERY far from Kuroishi or even Hirosaki. If you drive then you can get there easily, except in winter. Takijg public transport is troublesome but doable. Visitors may take a bus no. 97 from Kuroishi station at 2:20pm to Rainbow Lake (Nijinoko) which is last stop. Then take a shuttle bus to the ryokan. Please make an arrangement with the ryokan in advance. The room is very basic. No electricity, no wifi, no mobile coverage. Bathroom and toilet are shared. Food is ok, but not great. Diners sit on the floor while dining on low table. Onsen is good, clean. The entire building has kerosene smell. This may make visitors feel uncomfortable. Staff were ok. They can barely speak English. Just be patient.

Living off the grid without internet and electricity is an excellent experience especially in a paradise setting by the roaring river, surrounded by the mountain and forest, and a waterfall, with authentic onsen, traditional Japanese food, grilled fish and best Aomori rice! It is the best holiday ever.

A very special experience to stay in this hotel! Hope I can come back again when the two outdoor baths open again.

We thought it's going to be fresh in August up the mountain but it wasn't. Very hot and without air-conditioning you'll be suffering. Rooms are tiny and it barely fit 4 people. Road to get there is rough so make sure you have an off road car (the last 5 min only). The onsen is insanely beautiful especially the women's. Food was pre-served and left out in the heat to stand. Didn't look particularly appealing. Shared bathrooms.
