Ishiba Ryokan

Hirosaki|0.53km from Hirosaki Castle
I went to Hirosaki for Sakura. Prefering authenticity, I wanted to stay in a Ryokan rather than a standard hotel and I quickly found a real jewel in the genuine: as soon as I arrived from the station by making a small pleasant walk in the city, I've had the certainty of being arrived at the right address: warm and professional reception by the owner, the place breathes a rich story of its hundred-year walls, ancient woods and typically Japanese decor. I have especially chosen and appreciated the large room on the ground of tatamis, the small tea ceremony offered by the owner's wife. There is also a very pleasant ”onsen” very clean and especially appreciated house after a day of visit to the charming city of Hirosaki. The hotel is located in the heart of the city, and the city is located in the heart of the city. After a night of sleep in a calm, I started my day with a traditional Japanese breakfast, very fine and perfect for a departure in the day. Another strong point of my visit: the small ”secret” bar adjacent to ryokan where a ”welcome drink” was offered to me every day (to taste: the region's Apple Wine, as well as the ”Calvados” of Hirosaki). Finally, the owner spontaneously led me to the station on the day of my departure, which allowed me to make some more purchases of succulent specialities in the region! I can only recommend a stay at ”Ishiba Ryokan” and I will certainly be going back there if the wind brings me back to this very beautiful northern region of Japan.

Hotel Route-Inn Hirosaki Ekimae
4/546 Reviews
The public bath is on the 14th floor. There was a note to put the room key (the card key with the room number written down) in the clothes basket, because there is a risk of theft, so put it in the locker. There was a locker in front of the entrance of the bathroom, in the slipper place Mukai. I stayed two nights for breakfast, but it was good that there was a change. When you stay consecutive nights or when you go out, please return the room key to the front desk once. It was a very convenient item for sightseeing and traveling by train while leaving luggage right across from the station. For sightseeing, we recommend taking the 100-yen bus from the station. We also recommend renting a bicycle from the tourist association at the station.
Capsule Inn Hirosaki
4.7/55 Reviews
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.
Hotel Route-Inn Hirosaki Joto
4/529 Reviews
It is far from Hirosaki Station, but it is convenient for car users along national route 7. The building is relatively new, and I was glad that there was a large bath where breakfast, coffee, parking lot was free and limbs were stretched. We used a single room but there was a space to spread the suitcase, the cleaning was clean and Wⅰ Fⅰ was also comfortable. The congestion at the start of breakfast was common to the route inn, but there was time, so when I went to the place 30 minutes after the start, I put it in without waiting and the seat was empty.
Super Hotel Hirosaki
3.8/515 Reviews
I used a super hotel to see the Hirosaki Sakura Festival. During the Sakura Festival season, we were able to stay at a relatively reasonable price while all the hotels in the surrounding area were raising prices. It is a so-called business, but there is a large communal bath. (Although it is small). The rooms are not large, but WiFi is also complete and I wasn't so dissatisfied. There is also a free breakfast buffet. (The menu is small) Free drink service from the evening is good. No way even alcohol. Super hotel is also used, but I think it is stable with only chains.
Hirosaki Grand Hotel
3.6/59 Reviews
During the cherry blossom festival, and it was the first day of the consecutive holiday, so I think it is the highest time, but I was surprised at the price of over 16000 yen in twin. It's strong. However, if you go to the cherry blossom festival, it was convenient anyway because it was close to resting and returning to bed. It was a facility that felt high even at 5000 yen if it was normal time. Then, I wonder if I can only leave my luggage until 12 o'clock in the day of check-out. At this accommodation price! ? seriously! ? After all, I couldn't go to take my luggage at 12 o'clock, but I didn't say anything because it was. Then what was the morning question and answer ... I should keep it well and pay after 12 o'clock (I think it's okay).
Hostel Hirosaki

Very recommended, the location is right next to the station, but it is very unfair that the locals have 2,000 yen for クッポン I don't have it. . . The whole is very clean. There are washing machines and dryers that can be used for free. You can also talk with your friends in the evening.
