2-Star Hotels in Hirosaki

Although the location of this Hotel is about 15 mins walk from the Hirosaki train station, the walk to the main sights, Hirosaki park & Castle, is only 8-10 mins. So, we did not mind walking to/fro the Hotel in good weather (October). However, I strongly suspect that there is a 100 yen Loop bus that goes from the train station to the Hotel (please check while at the train station). Upon check in, we were given our requested higher floor on the 9th floor (hope I remember correctly) and we could see Mount Iwaki from our room!!! Twin beds were big and comfy indeed, not stone hard at all! Room was good size, too. There was enough space even for an extra coffee table and two chairs, imagine, very good size in Japan. What is most outstanding feature of this hotel has to be the breakfasts, think egg station, smoked duck or salmon sashimi, curry rice with seafood (yummy!), porridge with salmon roe, western pastries, fruits, salads, etc etc. Every morning, we would eagerly look forward to a 'feast' here ...Not forgetting, we even got a cup of freshly squeezed apple juice one morning, unforgettable indeed. SO be sure to include breakfasts with your stay here, you would certainly not regret it. Diagonally opposite is a Nakasan Shopping mall, with mid range Outlet shopping on the 4th and 5th floor (sorry, no European brands here). You could get quality clothings at 20-50% discount, really good value! However, no Tax free for items bought at this Outlet. At the basement is the Supermarket and a small food court with only 3 stalls (the Ramen stall on your right while standing facing the stalls is doing a roaring business). All in all, our 3 nights stay in Hotel was truly enjoyable and unforgettable. Will be checking out other Smile Hotels when we travel in other parts of Japan.

　　Previously, it was called Hirosaki Sakura Hotel, but after the renovation, it became now ”Hirosaki Hotel”. ＪＲ It is close to Hirosaki Station, but when you go for the first time, you may be a little lost. The room was large, although small.

It's a simple accommodation, so it's troublesome to write your name and address on the ledger every day even for consecutive nights. It was OK at all at a capsule hotel where you can stay cheaply if you travel alone. There was a space to sleep separately up and down, and I thought it was more noisy with the voice of the next person, but I didn't care so much. It was a private room for the time being. It's small. But the upper bed is not suitable for the elderly. It's hard to climb and I think it's dangerous to get off. No matter how many hours the parking lot was stopped, it was １ 100 yen a day. The sauna was also comfortable and it was a hot spring. I went for a drink at night, but there were many drinkers. There was a highball all-you-can-drink shop just behind the hotel, and I could drink a lot cheaply. The tonpei yaki at this store was excellent. It was the most delicious I've ever eaten. I was able to go from here to the Shirakami Mountains I was looking for in about 30 minutes, but the period I went was regulated and I couldn't go to the mother tree. It was to the visitor center in the foreground. You can go to the mother tree from the mountain trail, but it is difficult and not suitable for families with children. It is also close to the Iwakiyama trailhead. The royal road is to climb from Iwakiyama Shrine, but it is impossible for amateurs. It was a difficult steep slope because it was called Shugendo. You can drive to the 8th station, so it's better to go from there. The Shirakami Mountains were a World Heritage Site in the virgin beech forest, but visually it was not much different from ordinary mountains.

Overnight stay without meals from 4,500 yen. Cafe "HERB ＆ SPICE CAFE MINERAL" is located on the 1st floor!

裏の有料駐車場からは塀があり直接入れないのが難点でしたが入庫から24時間500円だったのでそれは良かったです。アメニティに歯ブラシがあると思っていましたが見つけられませんでした。またリンスが無いので持参しましょう。このような宿泊所は初めての経験でしたが隣りの部屋が空室だったようなので気兼ね無く過ごせました。ベッドの寝心地は良かったです。食事が無いおかげで弘前の夜散歩を楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

The room feels like an ordinary business hotel, but the hot spring scenery is particularly good. The outdoor hot spring has a good view of the mountain when the weather is good. The TV is a smart TV, and you can even watch The Wandering Earth 2 on demand. You can see the five-story pagoda outside the window

The public bath is on the 14th floor. There was a note to put the room key (the card key with the room number written down) in the clothes basket, because there is a risk of theft, so put it in the locker. There was a locker in front of the entrance of the bathroom, in the slipper place Mukai. I stayed two nights for breakfast, but it was good that there was a change. When you stay consecutive nights or when you go out, please return the room key to the front desk once. It was a very convenient item for sightseeing and traveling by train while leaving luggage right across from the station. For sightseeing, we recommend taking the 100-yen bus from the station. We also recommend renting a bicycle from the tourist association at the station.

We stayed for 2 nights from April 19 just before the Sakura Festival. 15400 yen. Take the Dote Cho circulation bus of 100 yen from Hirosaki station, get off at the blue silver Dote Cho branch, and it is very convenient in front of you. It is an old but large hotel with a single facility and a wedding hall. However, the bathtub is super narrow, and if you don't sit in the gym, you have to put it in, and if you try to catch it to your shoulder, you have to enter the sea cucumber. It is a washlet but it is a cold toilet seat. ＷＩＦＩ was difficult to connect and troubled by time. There is one electric stand on the desk, but it is dark because there is no light on the ceiling, and I borrowed one more.
