Fukaura Vacations from NT$29,320

It was grubby with a tiny plastic cubicle for a shower (that worked well ). Area was uninspiring with clubs advertising women and bouncers on the doors ... (unusual in Japan). Car parking was good and the staff were helpful. Water was never replaced. Functional and meh.

The dormy inn Aomori is an excellent choice for a short stay in the area. The hotel is clean, the rooms are comfortable and the staff is extremely gracious. I chose this because I wanted to stay in a hotel that had access to an onsen, and this one did not disappoint. The onsen facility was clean, never over crowded and a nice temperature even during the hot summer. A complimentary cream or popsicle after you soak was a bonus.

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.

Budget hotel but did the job.
