Ξενοδοχεία με breakfast σε Aomori Prefecture, Japan

"We stayed for 5 nights and were very satisfied with the value for money. We experienced the family bath and hot springs, and booked two rooms that included breakfast and dinner. We enjoyed delicious Japanese food every day. The problem arose on the last day during breakfast. About 10 minutes before the 9 AM closing time, my mother, trying to be considerate of the restaurant staff, poured her remaining coffee into a paper cup, intending for our family of four to clear our dishes and leave. At that moment, an old man, leaning with both hands on the kitchen counter, loudly shouted something unintelligible at us. Our entire family was startled, confused, and didn't understand what he was saying. As foreigners who don't speak Japanese, we couldn't comprehend him. After hearing him repeatedly shout loudly, we guessed we should pour the coffee back into the cup and left. Other guests were present, and this experience was the worst, ruining our family's impression of Japan. Shortly after, we tried to ask the old man about it, but he pretended not to understand English and avoided conversation, retreating into the kitchen. If there's a communication barrier, they should use a friendly translation app or clearly guide guests with actions instead of a kitchen staff member standing like a king with arms outstretched, shouting. Also, it was uncomfortable to have restaurant staff constantly watching how many plates people took, probably because individual dishes were served one by one. It's been a while since our trip ended, but that incident still pops into my mind. My family also talks about it. I hope they don't ruin tourists' enjoyable trips with rigid and inappropriate behavior. We felt disrespected as foreigners. I briefly explained this to the front desk using a translator, and a female staff member repeatedly offered polite apologies. Due to our departure schedule, we couldn't speak with the old man again or receive an apology, which is probably why we won't be returning to Japan."

"The hotel's location is super convenient! I booked on the same day and it was excellent value for money. It's about a 3-5 minute walk from Aomori Station, and there are plenty of great restaurants nearby. The Fish and Vegetable Market, Ichiba Sushi, and Jiraigen are all within walking distance. Plus, there's a Lawson convenience store right downstairs. The room size isn't small for Japan, and all the amenities are easily accessible."

"I've stayed at Sakura Dew hotels several times already, and I've always been very satisfied. Previously, I always booked with tour groups, but this time I booked independently. The hotels are always in the most prominent and best locations. They had the room type I needed, great breakfast and traveler's soup, convenient parking, and friendly service!"

"The room was spacious and comfortable. Even though it was a smoking room, the smell was still bearable, and I could open the window a little. There was a water dispenser by the elevator. The parking is a mechanical system and costs 1000 yen per day. The hotel front desk is on the fifth floor, and the cheese bread from the bakery on the first floor is really good. This hotel didn't offer a late-night snack, and there was no apple juice available, which some reviews mentioned."

"Facilities: The room had a very traditional Japanese feel, and the window view was absolutely stunning! Environment: It's located right where the bus drops you off, literally right in front of the hotel. Service: All the staff were older, white-haired individuals, but their service was excellent. On the downside, the food was quite bad 😂. Dinner was really unappetizing, so I skipped breakfast altogether."

"We had a wonderful stay at Todawakohan Sakura. My family especially enjoyed the kids' club—it was a great space for the children to have fun while we relaxed. The location is also very convenient, making it easy to explore the surrounding area and attractions. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, which made our stay even more enjoyable. However, the breakfast selection was quite simple and modest, and we hoped for a bit more variety. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would definitely consider staying at this hotel again."

"They offer complimentary local sake tasting, available to all adults. Kids can have fun with the toys at the nearby children's play area. We had dinner on the top floor and also enjoyed a plentiful breakfast there, with a delightful view of the distant snow-capped mountains. It was truly a feast for the eyes. The room was incredibly spacious, and there's an outdoor courtyard for a stroll. The front desk staff were very friendly and even waived the breakfast fee for our child. We're very satisfied!"

"I want you to increase the dinner menu. I felt that there were many Japanese fried foods (pinches, zoba), and it was like frozen food. １０００ All-you-can-drink yen was good."

"My review is more about trip.com in itself rather than the hotel. In retrospect, I should have booked the same hotel from a different website. The room description is confusing. I thought I reserved a twin room. It turned out to be a single room with one bed and an additional strange ( bed?)."

"My family and I stayed in a Western-style house on the third floor of the new building. Since we were driving, transportation wasn't a problem. There are many hot spring hotels nearby, but since we have elderly family members, we needed a room with a toilet. The choice was between Hoshino and Tsuta Onsen. I'm so glad we chose Tsuta Onsen. The thousand-year-old secret hot springs are authentic, the decor and space are comfortable, and there were no foreign tourists (it seemed we were the only foreigners there). The breakfast (buffet) and dinner (Japanese-style) were both very filling and delicious. There's also the secret Tsuta Pond nearby for a stroll. It was completely worth it. P.S. The starry sky at night is truly beautiful 😍"
