Hoshino Aomori-ya, experience the Nebuta Festival and hot spring foot bath in Tohoku, Japan

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #星野リゾート青森屋 The Hoshino Group's inn in Aomori near Misawa (near Hachinohe), although not as famous as #星野リゾート奥入瀬��流ホテル, has different natural scenery and cultural customs. Just bringing the Nebuta Festival to the scene is quite worth seeing. Aomori-ya covers a large area and is divided into the main building, the east and west buildings, and the Nebuta Festival performance venue and hot spring bath in the middle. The park's hinterland is connected to Komoku Onsen Shibusawa Park, where you can stroll around the lake, soak in a footbath, or even ride a horse. The activities arranged are quite diverse. The rooms are divided into three categories: the Aomori Nebuta Hall (71 square meters) decorated with the theme of the Nebuta Festival, the Yun Hall (85 square meters) with a private wooden hot spring bath, and the relatively smaller Higashiichi Japanese-style rooms (43-50 square meters). We stayed in the Higashiichi Room, which has a Japanese tatami bed. The room is actually very spacious, and the furnishings in the room are very ingenious, all of them are famous items produced in Aomori Prefecture. I was lucky enough to get the weekday off-season price, which was about NT$5,000 per person, including breakfast and dinner. I have to praise the Hoshinoya Group for its attentiveness in creating an experience. It doesn't make you feel that staying in a hotel is just for sleeping. You can also participate in various experience activities, or quietly appreciate the scenery of the park, leisurely have a glass of apple juice, and enjoy the holiday atmosphere of Aomori-ya. #JapanTohokuTravel #Aomori-ya #HoshinoyaGroup
