Still feels tad bit uncomfortable about the squatting toilets. The highlight of this property is obviously the mixed bath onsen with a lot of history. So it was quite disappointing to learn that they blocked out the peak hour for shower (8~9pm) exclusively

We had a fantastic stay at sukayu. The facility is charmingly funky and the service is fantastic. The onsen is world class! And we skied down to the onsen, what a great place!!

We enjoy every minute of our stay! However, we were surprised that the baths were not as mixed as expected, i was the only female during the mixed bath times. Even so, we highly recomend this ryokan. Nice food, nice room, outstanding location.

Very nice traditional Japanese ryokan with good service and food. Very easily accessible by buses from Aomori Staton.

The room is bigger than I thought. It was an experience to try mixed bath in the ryokan with such long history. It would be great if they also have ourdoor pool. There is free shuttle service from/to ryokan as well as JR bus connecting with Aomori statio

One of the most traditional & memorable onsen experience i've had so far in Japan, and and i've been to several ryokans. the food is fair, nothing to write home about. there's a big hall for breakfast buffet, and dinner is better served individually. it

This is a rather isolated onsen in Aomori. There is a free shuttle that takes you from Aomori city to Sukayu Onsen twice a day. I was there only recently in winter and it was snowing heavily. The scenery is beautiful and quiet. Definitely a great getaw

This ryokan was in a good location - surrounded by beautiful scenery. Close to Lake Towada and Mt. Hakkoda. The onsen in this ryokan was amazing - it was very large and mixed gendered. The service was excellent and the food delicious (but traditional st

Authentic onsen with very good sulphuric water. Good service but no English speaking staff. The rooms are noisy because its common toilet with people walking pass often. Rooms are only separated by a cupboard wall so I can hear the tv next door switched on

A truly amazing onsen experience. That is a classic bathhouse and should be experienced by anyone who loves onsen. There is incredible hiking in the area with trailheads starting from both sides of the property. Just know this is an old building and the ro

There were many excellent services when my girlfriend and I were staying there in early March 2015 but below are two outstanding ones: 1. We were looking for a spot to snowshoe and approached the front desk for information. When they found out two of us

It's location in the mountains, quite a distance from Aomori city proper. They have a shuttle server but if you choose not to use that, you will need to use the JR bus which will take around 45 minutes to reach the location from Aomori station. They have a

Excellent service. The staff was incredibly helpful and always went the extra mile to assist us even with the language barrier. Food was excellent, though our dinners were very traditional. So be warned, if you're not a fan of seafood, let the staff know p

We really enjoyed the hospitality and the wonderful wooden onsen bath. If you want to experience old and new, this is a great place. Pity that they do their renovations not in the traditional style.

We had communication problems as we don't know Japanese. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. The place is clean but old. Food on the arrival night was OK and very good on the second night.
