Owani Onsen town, Aomori

Shosenkaku Koyokan

A potentially good-value inn for a walkable stay in Owani, especially if you want a private in-room bath. Confirm the exact room before booking: current official sources disagree on which rooms have natural hot-spring water. The shared bath is confirmed; a second public bath is not.
