Dessert (水果子) - Strawberry Cream Mochi (クリーム苺大福)
The public bath of the hotel offers an open-air bath which can be used all season. Guests can enjoy the blissful moments while watching the fresh greens, vibrant red leaves, and the strict white silver beech forest in each season, and at the same time listening to the mountain stream of Tori Takizawa (鳥滝沢). There is also an inner bath with a big bath, mist sauna, rain shower and jacuzzi.
The onsen is a chloride spring (塩化物泉) with temperature of 50.2 degree Celsius, suitable for healing neuralgia, muscle pain, joint pain, coldness and fatigue (神経痛、筋肉痛、関節痛、冷え症、疲労回復). The bath is also open for day-trip guests from 11:30 to 16:00, but is exclusive for guests from 16:00 to 23:00, as well as 5:00 to 10:00.
On the next morning a buffet breakfast was served which was nice and delicious. The overall experience at the hotel was good, as we can enjoy a Scandinavian accommodation for a change.

Coming down from Mount Hakkoda, we drove for a short while to arrive at the hotel for the night.
Hotel Jogakura (城ヶ倉), surrounded by virgin beech forest, is a Scandinavian-style resort hotel blessed with majestic natural scenery. With good access to Lake Towada and Oirase Gorge, it is the perfect base for enjoying the seasonal activities in the area.
The hotel has 30 rooms designed with a luxurious, warm and welcoming ambiance, using plenty of wood, reminiscent of European villas. We are staying at the Grand Comfort (グランドコンフォート) Room, all located on the mountain side, and the beech forest can be seen from the spacious living room and bedroom. The scenery changes colours in each of the four seasons, making you forget the passage of time.
This western-style room is of 42 sq. metres in size, and got its own open-air hot spring bath. It is pure pleasure to open the windows to look out at the forest, surrounded by cool air and the scent of nature from the mountains, and immersing in the clear spring water. The Simmons beds also promises the best sleep to guests during the stay.
Every morning, the chef will select the fresh fish caught in the waters of Aomori, and seasonal local vegetables and beef grown in the area. Dinner is served at the Dining Room with fireplace, where guests can enjoy kaiseki cuisine that changes from season to season. Breakfast is of buffet style and served in the banquet room. Guests can enjoy seasonal ingredients such as local farmers' vegetables and Sakamoto (坂本) poultry eggs. Below was our dinner menu:
Sakizuke (先附) - Mushroom with Spicy Konbu (茸汐辛昆布和え), Crab with vinaigrette vegetable (蟹膾), Grilled Eggplant Tofu (焼茄子豆腐)
Sashimi (造り) - Blue Fin Tuna (本鮪), Strait Salmon (海峡サーモン), Conch (真螺), Greater Amberjack (寒八)
Yakimono (焼物) - Grilled Scallop with Cheese (帆立チーズ焼)
