#resort #100 ways to travel When traveling to the beautiful scenery of Northeastern Japan #Oirase Gorge, of course you have to stay at the beautiful resort #Hoshino Oirase Gorge Hotel! It is located in the first row next to the Oirase Stream and has a river view. It is also a favorite among Taiwanese tourists. The most chilled one-stop, two-food option will make you forget to leave. As soon as I stepped into Hoshino Hall, I was struck by the installation art of Taro Okamoto's "Forest Fairy Tale" bronze giant clock. Coupled with the scenery of green trees and red leaves outside the window, it is really beautiful! The West Building has a corresponding giant clock "River God", and you can drink apple juice and coffee during your stay. The public open-air hot spring pool at Hoshino Resorts has an excellent view of the stream and red leaves. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery while taking a bath. So for accommodation, book the most basic room type. One room, two meals including breakfast and dinner. The cost per person is less than NT$5,000! It may be at the end of the maple leaf season that there are bargains to be found. Dinner was a buffet at the Apple Restaurant, with a variety of apple desserts and all-you-can-drink apple juice. Frankly speaking, food is really not Hoshino's strong point, but the restaurant decoration style is very impressive. Various experiences are also Hoshino's strengths. There are many hand-made experiences that interact with nature and streams, and there are also Oirase stream connection or guided tours. It can really satisfy guests of all ages and is well worth staying. Last night, I experienced the beauty of Oirase Stream firsthand. #奥尔怿流 #OHoshino Oirase Stream Hotel #Resort #Japan Tohoku Free Travel #Aomori #Towada Lake #100 Ways to Travel

The hotel is designed to be very special, with a huge fire in the lobby and a snowy view of a giant floor-to-ceiling window, with unlimited drinks and local wines provided, and without knowing it sat down for an afternoon. The hotel has free and paid activities to choose from, with the instructor taking you outside in the ice and snow to enjoy the natural wonders and beauty of Ose entering the stream up close, which is absolutely rare.

How many people, like me, added this hotel to their must-stay list because of a photo of the hotel lobby and the icefall hot springs? The moment I arrived, I knew I could spend the whole day taking photos of the mythical forest lobby. Outside, the snow was falling heavily, but inside, the flames in the lobby fireplace danced merrily, casting a warm glow around the room and dispelling the chill of the winter night. The icefall hot springs took the atmosphere to the next level. The moment I stepped into the open-air bath, I was stunned. Goose feather snow was swirling in the air, hot steam rose from the ground, the surrounding icefalls were covered in white snow, and the branches of the trees beside the pool were covered with snow. It was a true experience of ice and fire, more magical than a fairyland! [Hotel Highlights] 🏨 The East Building lobby, "Forest Myth," and the West Building lobby, "River God," have very different styles, both perfect for photos, meditation, and daydreaming. Apple cider is served from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. ♨️ The icefall hot springs are the most atmospheric I've ever experienced in Japan. When it snows heavily, it's simply amazing, an unforgettable experience. 🚌 Be sure to book the hotel's many outdoor activities in advance. I recommend the Keiryu Stream Bus, the Famous Waterfalls Bus, the Towada Lake Stroll, and the Icefall Light Show. 🎣 For a closer experience with nature, you can join the Keiryu Stream or Icefall Snowshoe Walk, as well as various activities on Mount Hakkoda. 🌟 If you enjoy crafts, you can participate in kokedama, Oirase lamp, and icefall soap making at the Keiryu Stream BASE. 🍣 The popular Keiryu breakfast and French restaurant are best booked as early as possible. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to book them, but I heard they are quite good. [J-Type Personality Itinerary] Highly recommend a two-night stay A shuttle bus departs from Aomoriya at 9:00 am and arrives at Oirase Keiryu Hotel at 10:00 am, giving you 5 precious hours before the 3:00 pm check-in. 10:30 am - 12:00 pm: Take the Famous Waterfalls Bus tour, reaching as far as the shores of Lake Towada. 12:00 pm - 2:30 pm: Explore the hotel and enjoy the delicious apple desserts at the nearby Keiryu Stream Museum. 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm: Take the Keiryu Stream Bus tour, stopping at three points to admire the scenery up close. 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm: Check in and enjoy apple drinks in the lobby. 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm: Dinner at Apple Restaurant. 6:45 pm - 7:45 pm: Icefall Light Show, an eye-opening experience. 8:00 pm: Soak in the icefall hot springs. DAY 2 6:00 am - 7:00 am: Soak in the icefall hot springs. 8:00 am - 9:00 am: Breakfast at Apple Restaurant. 10:00 am: Check out and take the hotel bus back to Aomori Station. [Room] The room uses a lot of wood, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto the snowy forest. You can spend the whole day lounging on the sofa, lost in thought. [Food] Apple Restaurant offers dinner and breakfast (Keiryu and French cuisine require booking well in advance). While the variety may not be as extensive as at Aomoriya, the food is exquisite. I highly recommend the apple pie ice cream and the homemade seafood rice. [Transportation] There are buses from Aomori Station and Hachinohe Station, which require reservations. The most convenient way is to come from Aomoriya. Summary The environment is first-class, and the Oirase Gorge is truly beautiful in winter. Every detail of the hotel is exquisite. I would call it the god of atmosphere.

Hoshino Resorts Oirase Keiryu Hotel stands on the banks of the Oirase Stream. This hotel is packed with things you can only do in a snowy area! There are many ways to enjoy winter. 1st photo: This hotel is divided into the West and East buildings, and the corridors are decorated with ice waterfall motifs, which are beautiful and pretty. 2nd photo: There is terrace seating at Keiryu-BASE on the second floor of the West building. There is also a free drink space in front of the terrace, where many guests are relaxing with a hot drink in hand while looking at the snowy scenery. 3rd photo: Ice waterfall light-up tour, which is being held until March 2nd. This tour is held several times a day, but it is so popular that it is so fully booked that it is difficult to make a reservation at the last minute. It is a bus tour that takes about an hour to see the ice waterfalls and icicles lit up in blue and other colors. 4th photo: Until March 24th, the open-air bath in the large communal bath will be transformed into "Hyobaku no Yu" (Ice Waterfall Bath)! As the name suggests, it is an open-air bath where an ice waterfall is reproduced right in front of you. 5th photo: Until March 24th, you can experience making ice waterfall soap. There are sessions at 11:00 and 14:00, and there is no age limit, but small children must be accompanied by a guardian. Make your own original soap by choosing your favorite color and shape from several colors. It will be a great memory of your trip. #Seasonal places in Japan #Aomori sightseeing #Aomori trip #Aomori hotel

Hoshinoya Oirase Keiryu Hotel is located beside the Oirase Keiryu in Aomori Prefecture. Surrounded by lush forests and the sound of gurgling streams, it is a holiday paradise that integrates nature into life. This time, I not only felt the unparalleled accommodation experience, but also experienced the limited "stream breakfast", which was a feast for the taste buds with nature. Hotel atmosphere: the perfect combination of nature and luxury Upon arrival at the hotel, the first thing that catches your eye is a building full of modern design, but it does not feel out of place with the surrounding natural landscape. The hotel's lobby is built with a lot of wood and glass. Sunlight shines into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the view extends to the stream and forest outside the window. The whole space is surrounded by nature, making people relax instantly. The room is designed in a simple and elegant style, with wood and soft natural tones as the main features. The bed is comfortable and outside the window is a view of streams and green forests. At night, falling asleep to the sound of the stream feels like being in the embrace of nature. Breakfast at the Stream: A unique limited-time experience During this stay, I specially booked the hotel's limited "stream breakfast". This is a special experience that allows people to feel nature up close. Early in the morning, under the guidance of the hotel staff, we came to a special dining area by the stream. The dining table was set on a small platform near the stream, surrounded by forests, and the breeze was mixed with the fresh scent of soil and trees. Breakfast dishes are mainly based on fresh local ingredients, each of which is simple yet full of natural flavors. The most impressive thing is the freshly baked Aomori apple bread, which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, exuding a strong fruity aroma; there is also freshly squeezed juice made from Aomori apples, which has a moderate sweet and sour taste and is refreshing. Paired with handmade soups and Japanese side dishes, every bite is like a gift from nature. Hot springs and facilities: deep relaxation After dinner, I returned to the hotel to experience their hot spring facilities. The open-air hot spring is next to the stream. Soaking in the warm spring water and listening to the sound of running water, it feels like time has slowed down. The hot spring water is mild, and after soaking in it, your skin becomes smooth and tender, and you feel healed. The hotel also has a reading lounge area and a cafe. The free apple tea provided in the lobby is especially special, which is also one of the characteristics of Aomori. 💞Recommendation reason: A perfect holiday with nature Hoshinoya Oirase Keiryu Hotel is not only a place to stay, but also an experience of deep connection with nature. From the view outside the room window to the unique enjoyment of stream breakfast, every moment makes people feel the power and beauty of nature. If you like nature but want a little luxury, this hotel will definitely make you linger. Especially the limited stream breakfast, which is definitely one of the unforgettable experiences in this life! #JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 #Aomori
