Fukaura Vacations from ￥52,625

Located in a rural area that is close to some beautiful natural sights. A short drive from the UNESCO heritage site (old growth beech forest). We came in early November and were a bit late for the peak fall colours, but there were still plenty of vibrant orange and yellow leaves. Hotel itself is showing its age, but they keep the rooms very clean. Kind and courteous staff made us feel welcomed. Would recommend for anyone looking for a quiet nature escape.

An older onsen property. But it does have two onsen pools that you can “charter” for your private use. There isn’t anything around the property, so you have to book your breaky and dinner with the hotel. The food was good though.

Everything was fine. The staff are friendly and helpful. A short walk from Aomori station--one stop from Shin-Aomori. Breakfast was good and the area around the hotel was walkable. Some good dining options in the area. So many sushi restaurants in the area. Nebuta Wa Rasse Museum rust down the street and the A-Factory and small beach opposite the museum. I have only one complaint and that was the bathroom. It is older and needs to be modernised. When showering the water temperature fluctuates from hot to warm to cold back to hot and was very difficult to control the temperature. Other than that, I had a comfortable stay.
