Toyoko Inn Shin-Aomori-eki Higashi-guchi

Very good location、close to car rentals and station. Helpful staff、everything good.

Less than 5 mins walk to and from JR Shin-Aomori Station (East exit) which also houses the Aomori Tourist Information Centre.

I chose to stay near this JR Shin-Aomori station instead of JR Aomori station as the shinkansen doesn’t go to JR Aomori station. I need to take the shinkansen early in the morning on the following day to go to Akita and then transfer to the Akita shinkansen to head to my next accommodation in Tazawako.

From JR Shin-Aomori station, it’s convenient to take limited express trains direct to Hirosaki station to visit Hirosaki Castle and Park. It’s also a short journey to JR Aomori station which is where the city centre of Aomori is located.

Other than the F&B shops within Shin-Aomori station which close very early around 8pm if I recall correctly, there aren’t any F&B shops around the hotel.

Both Family Mart and Lawsons convenience stores are located a few mins walk from the South exit of the train station which is located on the other end of the station.

Take a look at the top picture. This hotel is very close to the train station. The problem is that Shin-Aomori Station itself is very remote. There is really no convenience store near the hotel. You have to walk for more than ten minutes to find one.
It is strongly recommended that if you are traveling to Aomori, it is more convenient to stay at Aomori Station. It is convenient to go to Oirase Stream or Nebuta House, and there are many foods.
The most exaggerated thing about this hotel is that if you stay in the room for a long time, if you don’t hang a sign outside, you won’t even pick up the garbage. This is a bit too much.
The Japanese hotels I stayed in before may not actively replace the linens if you stay for a long time, but shouldn’t normal garbage collection be the default?

nice place to stay near the station, recommended for those on trip

Clean, simple, and cost effective! You can not beat the closeness to the train station! Will book it again next time if I come this way.

amazing breakfast and staff. clean rooms. It can get quite crowded since many group tourists gets breakfast at the same time

Very good

Toyoko Inn Shin-Aomori is just across the train station.
Very convenient when traveling with Shinkansen.
Rooms are new with good equipment and bed quite comfortable.
Breakfast is just average, very minimalist…
Good hotel for a short stay!

Perfect location, less than 5 minutes walk from station, room was clean, had everything I could’ve need, staff is really nice and friendly!)

The room was comfortable and quiet and clean. Standard small hotel room with all the standard stuff. Nice bathroom. The price was good and the staff were nice. Best thing is that it is right next to the train station. I was surprised at how good the complementary breakfast was with a wide variety of foods and good coffee. The double bed is closer to what we call twin size, but we both fit OK and slept well. I love firm beds. Easy short train ride to explore Amori downtown area.
