Guest Room

"Authentic Nordic Log Cottage"

Sixteen Finnish-built log cottages (capacity: six guests) stand across the grounds. The first floor features a living room with an open ceiling and a bedroom, while the second floor includes another bedroom along with a loft and a veranda, creating a setting that reflects warmth and a close connection with nature.

"Japanese-Style Room in the Main Lodge"

This guest room accommodates up to seven guests and consists of a 10-tatami living room and a 6-tatami loft. Facilities include air conditioning and heating, a bath, a toilet with a bidet function, a television, a refrigerator, a hair dryer, and a selection of amenities. Tatami flooring creates a relaxing setting accompanied by views of the surrounding natural landscape from the windows.

Wood-Burning Stove Warmth for a Quiet Restful Hour

A limited number of cottages are equipped with wood-burning stoves, creating a warm setting accompanied by the flicker of flames and the sound of crackling firewood. The space lends itself to quiet activities such as reading, playing games, or spending time with a warm drink.

Cuisine

Dinner That Fully Showcases the Blessings of the Season

Dinner features delicately prepared dishes highlighting the rich seasonal flavors of fresh seafood raised in the waters of the Shirakami Mountains, along with local mountain vegetables and produce. Creative dishes incorporating an abundance of seasonal ingredients are especially well-received, and an upgrade course featuring select ingredients is also available.

Winter-Only In-Room Dining Plan for Unhurried Meals

In winter, meals are delivered to the guest room, where Japanese boxed dinners ranging from standard to upgraded courses feature an abundance of seafood, mountain vegetables, and produce from Aomori. In the morning, a gently prepared breakfast basket meal is served alongside rice cooked in a traditional pot.

Facility

"Large Public Bath Aone no Yu"

At the separate building "Public Bath Aone no Yu," baths are enjoyed while viewing seasonal scenery. The water comes from deep underground, formed by rain and snow that seeped into the foothills of the Shirakami Mountains. The facility has a winter closure period.

"Product Hall Kawasemi"

A selection of products highlighting the Shirakami Mountains is available, including local specialties, crafts, agricultural products, and processed foods. The shop offers an opportunity to encounter regional culture and industry while selecting souvenirs, and the locally popular "Aoike Cider" is also available. The facility has a winter closure period.

Location

Cottage Stay Beneath a Sky Filled with Stars

The surrounding area has little city light, and exterior lights within the grounds are turned off early, allowing a sky filled with stars and the silhouette of the Shirakami Mountains to emerge against the night. The setting also allows time indoors to watch for constellations and passing shooting stars.

"Aoike Pond" Glowing in Natural Deep Blue

"Aoike," one of the Juniko lakes located on the western side of the Shirakami Mountains, a World Natural Heritage site, is known for its vivid cobalt-blue color and remarkable clarity, revealing fallen trees resting on the lakebed. Trekking tours offered through accommodation plans provide access to this distinctive landscape.

Juniko Lakes Wrapped in a Silent White Winter

In winter, the pond at Keitoba and Mount Kuzureyama create a quiet landscape covered in snow. The frozen lake surface, the monochrome forest, and the snow-covered mountains form a striking panorama that reveals a different, dreamlike beauty.

Forest Trekking Through Landscapes Shaped by Nature

Accommodation plans offer guided walks through the Juniko area, known for its seasonal scenery. From December to March, snowshoe walks across the snowfields with a guide are available. The winter Juniko area, accessible only with a guide, presents a distinctive landscape experienced by a limited number of visitors.
