Super cute little hostel, though I’m sure it’d be way better in the summertime! We came in what was off-season (early April), so we basically had the place to ourselves. It was quiet, and very cold, and a lot of the businesses in the area weren’t quite open at regular hours yet, but we still enjoyed our time! It is a little far from any cities, so accessibility is slightly difficult without a car (there is one or two buses a day? or every other day I believe?), but we managed to rent a car and get around to other parts of Aomori easily enough. The staff were lovely. Ready to help us during their opening hours. Breakfast was provided and while small, is always appreciated as a traveller! They offer the areas specialty dish for dinner at a very affordable cost as well, we didn’t get the chance to try it but it always looked good when we’d walk by! There is a lovely onsen hotel right down the road that is very affordable, and, while simple, is essentially all you need for some relaxing.

如果不想入住貴森森的觀光溫泉飯店，那麼背包客棧是選項之一。乾淨、便宜是大優點。只是所包含的早餐只有吐司，沒有其他選擇，晚餐沒有加購，所以無從評價。
