Asamushi Onsen

Facing Mutsu Bay, Asamushi Onsen is a seaside hot spring town long cherished as Aomori quiet retreat. The calm sea spreading before you and the beauty of the sunset seen from the bath are exceptional, and the place has been loved by many writers. Its charm lies in enjoying both fresh seafood and hot springs in one luxurious stay.

Highlights

The view of Yunoshima Island floating in the bay is the signature scene of this area. Foot baths and public bathhouses dot the town, so you can stroll in a light robe and hop from bath to bath with ease. A nearby aquarium makes it popular with families as well.

Enjoying the Seasons

Summer bustles with sea bathing and fireworks, while autumn offers quiet coastal views. In winter, the snow-dusted shoreline is deeply atmospheric, and seasonal scallops and flounder enjoyed after a bath warm you from within.

Access and Basic Information

From Aomori Station, it is about twenty minutes on the Aoimori Railway to Asamushi Onsen Station, right beside the town. With such easy train access, it also suits a day trip from central Aomori.

A Quick Tip

The view from the bath at dusk is the finest moment, so if you have time, an evening soak is recommended. Gathering bath-hopping information at the tourist office by the station helps you plan an efficient visit.
