Tsukibikan: A 400-Year-Old Inn with Its Own Hot Spring, Associated with Shiko Munakata

Aomori Prefecture/Aomori

400 years of history and private Onsen, a fusion of art and Onsen

This Property has been in operation since the Edo period and is known as the original source of Asamushi Onsen. It also features numerous works by local printmakers, offering a cultural charm. Asamushi Onsen is located on the northern side of Aomori City and is home to many renowned hot springs. In summer, the area is lively with beachgoers and fireworks festivals. Guests can also enjoy fresh seafood and mountain delicacies from Aomori. Each Room is equipped with a refrigerator, safe, and television. Additionally, the Property offers Onsen with natural hot spring water flowing directly from nine on-site sources. The cuisine includes handmade local dishes prepared with seasonal ingredients.

  • This was my first trip to Aomori, and I stayed here. I relaxed in the Onsen at length, and the kaiseki cuisine served in the spacious dining area was rich in local character—truly luxurious and delicious. The staff’s thoughtful hospitality was wonderful, and thanks to them I had a very relaxing time. I was also moved by Shiko Munakata’s vibrant woodblock prints on display, which left me feeling refreshed and energized. This is an Accommodation I would definitely like to visit again.

  • I enjoy Onsen trips to places like Hoshino Resorts, Hakone, Shimoda, and Hokkaido.This time as well, I was very satisfied with both the Onsen and the meals.The low rating for cleanliness was because I found a disposable contact lens on the floor.It had hardened and felt unpleasant.Still, it’s a warm Accommodation that made me want to visit again.

Munakata Shikō and Tsubaki-kan ─ Simple yet profound ─

Shikō Munakata, born in Aomori and renowned as a global woodblock print artist, left behind masterpieces not only in woodblock prints but also in oil paintings, Yamato-e (traditional Japanese paintings), calligraphy, and poetry. His works consistently exude a profound religious essence. Deeply devoted to his homeland and constantly praying to the gods of the universe, Munakata chose this place as his creative sanctuary to pour his soul into his art. Starting around 1941, he stayed here with his family every summer, creating numerous works. It is said that he would cleanse his body in the hot springs before beginning his artistic process. At our facility, we exhibit Shikō Munakata's works that cannot be seen in prefectural or city art museums, offering a unique experience exclusive to our establishment.
