Hostels in Aomori Prefecture, Japan

Really clean, standard hostel with about 20 beds in a room and little boxed sleeping pods. There's a surprising amount of space in the sleeping spaces, with a bedside table and enough space for me to put my luggage. Ventilation was good even in the peak of summer and the beds were comfortable - full on futon blankets which I've never seen in a hostel. The bathrooms are unisex, with gender labelled individual shower booths. It's a shoes-off sleeping space. The pantry area is a bit small so don't expect to be cooking anything there, but there are washing facilities and free tea/coffee. Location is just a few minutes away from the station and the buses, and a 15 minute walk to the park. Not much restaurants around though, but I felt there weren't much dining options in the whole of Hirosaki.

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.
