Natural Hot Spring Wanoyu

A practical stop around Namioka, the airport or the Tsugaru area if you want a low-cost dark-colored spring, an early-bird discount and a private family bath. It is not within walking distance of Aomori Station. Current tattoo rules are unconfirmed, not an implied yes or no.
