Aomori

Vi bestilte 3 dagsturer i Aomori: P1-Oirase-elven og Hakkoda-fjellet; P2-Takayama Inari-helligdommen; P3-Tanesashi-kysten. PLAN1 – Oirase-elven, Hakkoda-fjellet og Towada-sjøen-ruten er en dagstur jeg synes er fantastisk. Selv om det blåste kraftig på toppen av Hakkoda-fjellet og det var stengt, slik at vi bare kunne være der i 5 til 10 minutter, og toppen var tåkete uten utsikt å se ... Været var ikke på vår side! Oirase-elven og Towada-sjøen er veldig vakre, og jeg anbefaler denne dagsturen på det sterkeste. Ved Towada-sjøen dro vi for å overnatte på Prince Hotel ved innsjøen, og dagen etter gikk vi langs innsjøen tilbake til Towada-sjøen for å ta JR-bussen tilbake til Aomori, noe som kostet ¥3480. Jeg føler at denne dagsturen gir veldig god valuta for pengene.

Flott tur, alt gikk knirkefritt. Vi stoppet ved mange utsiktspunkter og kunne også gå litt langs Oirase-elven og på toppen av Hakkoda. Sjåføren var veldig oppmerksom. Jeg var i en liten gruppe på 4 personer. Vi stoppet kort ved noen andre utsiktspunkter og museet for snøvandringskatastrofen på veien tilbake. De dampede bollene «butt onsen» var en hyggelig overraskelse.

Since there don't seem to be many reviews in Korean, I'm writing one. We were traveling with my parents and a young nephew, so having comfortable transportation was important, which is why we used this service. It was our biggest expense of the trip, but we were very satisfied. Thank you for driving safely and for your thoughtfulness in adjusting the air conditioning when it was hot and the heater when it was cold. I'm not sure how others do it, but I'm the type who plans out every single route, down to the minute and second, so my top priorities for the driver were simply safe driving and good punctuality. Because I had my desired route and stops clearly mapped out, it probably made things easy for both of us. Since this isn't a package tour, you need to plan your walking spots and time management to some extent. This was the absolute best way to travel from Hoshino Resorts Aomoriya, past the Oirase Gorge, and all the way to downtown Aomori. If you plan on doing a lot of walking in the Oirase Gorge, taking a regular bus is much better, but I recommend hiring a car if you want to walk just one specific section and enjoy it like a scenic drive. The vehicle was clean, and the instructions were clearly explained via WhatsApp. True to Japan, they were rigorously punctual. Thank you so much!~~

Dette var en perfekt tur, med godt tempo, interessante steder og nok tid til å se dem. Disse stedene er vanskelige å besøke ellers, så jeg er veldig glad for at jeg fikk se alle tre på én dag. Takayama Inari-helligdommen er vakker og så avsidesliggende at det nesten ikke var noen der, med rikelig med muligheter til å ta bilder. Den blå dammen er faktisk blå – i det minste når solen er fremme. Veldig fin tur rundt sjøene. Gruppen min besto av 6 personer, og vi reiste i en privat drosje med sjåfør.

It was a wonderful experience and a fantastically organized day. We felt completely at ease and were able to enjoy Japanese culture away from mass tourism. We would love to come back.

it’s been one of my best stay in Japan, feels very relaxing at the onsen and using the lounge afterwards with apple juice! also beers offered during happy hour is just another bonus!

Breakfast: Better than expected, though not a huge variety, every item was exquisite, and the dining experience was good. The baby's high chair was high-end with soft padding. Personally, I felt the food quality was comparable to Hakodate Kokusai Hotel (excluding the sashimi and steak). Transportation convenience: It's a bit of a walk from the station, about 5-7 minutes, and there's no direct public transportation. Service: We had access to the lounge, and there was a delicious apple cider. The food mainly consisted of dried fruits and nuts, suitable as snacks with drinks. Service: There were a few minor flaws, for example, when receiving breakfast and lounge vouchers, we had to manually write our room number and name, which felt like a very traditional process. Also, the entire hotel only has two washer-dryer machines.

what a pleasant stay, i was at home far away from home. all of the staffs are helpful and courteous. I love to be back in the future 🥰

Not far from the station, there's a Daiso next door, a Lawson nearby, and an underground fish market. There's also a parking lot across the street. It's perfectly suited for tourists traveling by car.
