The hotel is right next to the ski resort. When booking through Ctrip, it always shows that there is a shortage of rooms, but there are not many people actually checking in. There is also a hotel "Hakkoda Villa" next to it, but Ctrip cannot book it. The room is large, but the toilet is very small. There is a heater in the room and it is very hot. I slept with the window open at night. Breakfast and dinner are included in the room rate. They are typical Japanese meals, but there is very little sashimi and the taste is average. The hotel has its own indoor hot spring. When I asked, I was told that it was free. However, a tax of 150 yen was charged at checkout. I don't understand the theory on which this tax is charged. It is probably because the price/performance ratio is not good and there are not many people living there. Most people stay in Aomori even if they want to ski the next day. By the way, Chengcang and Suantang are still some distance away from the ski resort. In addition to three buses a day, the hotel also provides free pick-up and drop-off, but the general time is fixed. Chengcang will drop off at 9 o'clock and pick up at 3 p.m. If you need pick-up at other times, please negotiate with the hotel.
Go to the ski resort and wait for the bus line 11 at the bus stop in front of Aomori Station. There is a stop sign, and there are three buses a day, the earliest one at 8 a.m. I was worried about the crowds, so I queued up 20 minutes early, but in the end everyone was seated Yes, there are prepared chairs in the middle aisle of the bus that you can use.
By the way, Hakkoda Ski Resort. The snow is so good, so good, so good! Completely natural snow, not pressed. However, the cable car is often out of service. It is recommended that you check the notice of the ski resort at 7 o'clock in the morning. If it is out of service, don't come up. I only skied once on the first day. The weather was very good that day, but the cable car was out of service, so I had no choice but to go skiing at the small ski resort next to it for an afternoon, which cost 3,800 yen for half a day and four hours. I only skied twice on the second day, and the service was suspended due to strong winds.
