Healing in Nature at Hoshino Resort Oirase Keiryu Hotel, Aomori

Aomori's Hoshino Resorts is sure to soothe your soul with its natural beauty! Featuring two locations: Aomoriya, inspired by the Nebuta Festival, and the Oirase Keiryu Hotel situated midway through the Oirase Gorge. As a nature lover, I stayed at the Oirase Keiryu Hotel this time!! 📍Hoshino Resort Oirase Keiryu Hotel ▶︎231 Tochikubo Okuse, Towada City, Aomori Prefecture ○Recommendations ・A 3-day, 2-night stay allows for a leisurely experience →The path along the stream from the Towada Lake Boat Cruise Terminal to the hotel is suitable for hiking, but it takes over three hours one way on foot. Since I only stayed for one night this time, I couldn't make it to Towada Lake due to time constraints. However, the hike along the stream was incredibly beautiful and very satisfying. If possible, I definitely recommend making it to Towada Lake. Considering the various options available at Hoshino Resorts, a 3-day, 2-night stay with activities planned for the second day would make the trip even more enjoyable. ・Breakfast by the stream is the best →The hotel offers a buffet for both dinner and breakfast, but for an additional 1,500 yen per person, you can opt for a different breakfast experience by the stream. While the buffet is delicious, enjoying breakfast to the sound of the flowing river is exquisite. I highly recommend taking this option for the ultimate breakfast experience! ・The stars are incredibly beautiful at night! →Since it gets very dark at night, taking a little walk around the area can be delightful!

Hokkaido is just below Aomori~

Hakodate on the north shore of the Tsugaru Strait and Aomori on the south shore, although they belong to different counties, they share the same culture, similar climate, and are both the birthplaces of the Jomon civilization. It was not until the completion of the Aomori-Hakodate Tunnel in 2016 that the Shinkansen was opened between the two places. Therefore, when I was in Hakodate, I made a decision to go south to Aomori, also because of the favorite opening line of 'Little Dream Helps' (the memory of death suddenly attacks) Picture 2, 3, 4: The Kureya Resort Hotel near Onuma Park Station in Hakodate, about 3000RMB/night. Classical romantic style, the room has a private hot spring♨️. The food is famous for French cuisine, and beer is free to drink. Just happened to encounter heavy snow, drinking by the fire is a bit cozy. The downside is that there is only one shuttle bus a day, and there are very few trams to Onuma Park Station, and the taxi to the Shinkansen Hokuto Station is about 5000 yen. Picture 5, 6, 7: LaVista Hakodate Bay, about 800RMB/night. Red brick + European style, facing Hakodate Mountain and Christmas tree, the view from the room is excellent. It is very convenient to go to JR Hakodate Station and Hakodate Mountain Cable Car Station, and the famous attractions such as the warehouse and morning market are nearby. The hotel's breakfast is famous, and you can also grind and hand-brew coffee by yourself. The downside is that there are too many guests. Picture 8, 9, 10: Hoshino Resort Oirase Stream, about 1800RMB/night. Hoshino's design concept is to integrate local culture, so the hotel is full of Aomori's specialty apples and Jomon cultural symbols. The Oirase Stream itself is a famous attraction in Aomori, beautiful all year round, and naturally watching snow and ice in winter, silver-clad and extraordinarily enchanting. Soaking in an open-air bath in the snow is quite soulful. You can also use Wang Lin's apple juice to mix Oirase sake, which is also a drop into the soul. I have always been very satisfied with Hoshino's hotels. If I have to say the shortcomings of this one, it is too remote. The shuttle bus from JR Aomori Station took a full 2 hours to get to the hotel. If you take a taxi to the hotel in Aomori's snow season, you may have to pay 3 times the room rate for the taxi fare (to be verified)

Hoshino Oirase Keirui Hotel

Sitting in the hotel's stream and room, you will be able to see the rushing river into the stream. Every night, accompanied by running water, sleep, dreams are fairy-tale pictures. In April 2017, the newly opened large-scale bath in the pavilion, Stream Hot Springs, will transform into Icefall Soup in winter, allowing guests to enjoy the ice waterfall while enjoying the soup.

Sitting in the hotel's stream and room, you will be able to see the rushing river into the stream. Every night, accompanied by running water, sleep, dreams are fairy-tale pictures. The most embarrassing moment is the open-air hot springs that the hotel must punch every day! The hotel room specially prepared a small basket of bamboo, changed the bathing suit and put on the bath towel, and took a small basket to go to the soup. The mood was beautiful.
