Located just 14 km from Konakano Station, 津軽三味線と民謡 繭子の宿 features accommodation in Hachinohe with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as a 24-hour front desk. A hot tub is available for guests. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. An unforgettable stay filled with warmth, culture, and wonderful memories! The host and their family were incredibly welcoming, always cheerful, and full of positive energy, making us feel truly at home from the moment we arrived. During our stay, we had the rare opportunity to enjoy a live performance of traditional dance, Tsugaru shamisen, and folk songs. It was absolutely mesmerizing to watch and to learn the stories and traditions behind each performance. We were especially delighted that a kimono sensei was present to guide us step-by-step on how to properly wear a kimono, making the experience even more authentic and meaningful. What made it even more special was being able to participate in a hands-on session where we learned some of the dance steps ourselves. This gave us a much deeper appreciation for the local culture and traditions, creating memories we will cherish forever. The next morning, we enjoyed a relaxing breakfast with freshly brewed coffee and tea, accompanied by their delicious farm-produced honey. Knowing that the honey was lovingly made by the family on their own farm, surrounded by the beautiful natural landscapes of Aomori, made it taste even more special. This stay was the perfect blend of cultural immersion, local flavors, and genuine hospitality. We are truly grateful for the kindness, joy, and unforgettable experiences shared by the host and their family. Nambu Town is a fascinating place and truly a hidden gem. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic and heartwarming experience.

Offering a garden and inner courtyard view, Guest House Chara is located in Hirosaki, 34 km from Sannai-Maruyama site and 3.5 km from Hirosaki Castle. This guest house provides free private parking, free shuttle service and free WiFi. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service. We spent three wonderful days in Hirosaki, a charming and authentic town that still feels untouched by mass tourism. It was refreshing to explore a place where the pace is slower and the culture feels so genuine. The absolute highlight of our stay was Guest House Chara, run by the kindest elderly couple, Fusao and Toshiko. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel completely at home—it wasn’t just a place to sleep, it truly felt like staying with family. Their house told a story, filled with warmth, history, and the little personal touches that made it feel lived-in and loved. From the amazing homemade breakfast to the delicious ramen dinners they prepared, every meal was made with care and love. The guest house is conveniently located, just a short walk from a supermarket and a laundromat, which made things really easy for us. This personal, welcoming experience truly made our trip special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a meaningful, off-the-beaten-path experience in Japan. ありがとうございます

At the guest house, the romantic restaurant is open for dinner, lunch and cocktails and serves Italian cuisine. The guest house is located in a geothermal area, with a number of hot springs nearby for guests to relax in. It’s easy to go skiing or snowboarding. The lift is just next to the hotel. The hotel owner is kind and funny. I have a great experience here.

Situated in Yamagata, Guesthouse Mintaro Hut features accommodation with free private parking. The 1-star guest house has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom and free WiFi. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. I spent one night here and would have loved to stay longer. Hide-san created a little paradise in his house. As a solo traveller or couple, if you are looking for a social/local experience with long nights of talking and sharing with the other guests, this is the perfect place. Home-cooked dinner based on donation was the best food I've had in Japan so far.
