  • All the Accommodation staff were very polite and kind. The Onsen water felt silky and moisturizing, and the bath area was clean and well stocked with amenities, making it very comfortable. I found an Accommodation in Asamushi Onsen that I would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

  • Our stay in Asamushi Onsen became a truly wonderful memory.To everyone at the front desk, the person who guided us to our Room, and all staff who served our dinner—each of you left a lasting impression with your warm expressions and heartfelt hospitality.The dinner we had been looking forward to arrived one dish after another, and everything was absolutely delicious! My picky 15-year-old son ate every last bite. As a parent, seeing that made me happiest of all. Thank you so much.The Onsen was also outstanding. The open-air bath was especially soothing, and there was also a sauna and cold bath, so we enjoyed alternating between the Onsen and the cold bath. Thanks to that, we slept soundly at night.We were also lucky to stumble upon a night market being held by chance at Asamushi-Onsen Station. We got to see Nebuta displays outdoors and even experienced the “Rassera Rassera” chant performance—so exciting! The two-minute fireworks finale was deeply relaxing as well. We truly felt fortunate to be there at just the right time.Thanks to all of your warm hospitality, this became an unforgettable two-person trip with my son. Thank you very much!

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.
