Tsuta Onsen Ryokan - Natural Spring Onsen Bubbling from the Ground -

We came from scorching Tokyo, and the temperature on arrival was around 20°C—like heaven! Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great, but the vivid greenery wet with rain and the sound of rainfall were so soothing. The atmosphere of the charming building, the Onsen, the meals, and the hospitality were all truly wonderful. We’d love to visit again. Thank you very much.

This was my first stay.The historic building and calm atmosphere were very comfortable, and the location was convenient for sightseeing as it is close to Oirase Gorge and Tsutanuma Pond.The Onsen exceeded my expectations. The large public bath, “Kyuan-no-Yu,” is a free-flowing hot spring where the source water wells up from beneath your feet. The combination of slightly hot water and a cold plunge was fantastic, and during my stay I used both the public bath and the in-room bath a total of five times. The in-room bath was also nice, but for me “Kyuan-no-Yu” felt like it had better water quality, so I especially recommend it.Dinner was delicious, making great use of Aomori ingredients, and the sakura snow crab takikomi rice was outstanding. I was also happy to enjoy it with my favorite sake, “Dassai.” It left an impression that the head chef explained each dish as well—it really conveyed their hospitality. I also appreciated the thoughtful touch of having onigiri prepared as a late-night snack.The only disappointment was the filet steak: it tasted great, but the portion felt a bit small. With one or two more slices, I think overall satisfaction would be even higher.All staff provided excellent service, and they kindly accommodated a late check-out request.It was a wonderful Accommodation where I could be satisfied with everything—the Onsen, meals, and hospitality. I would definitely like to stay again when visiting Aomori.
