Hakkoda Mountains, Aomori, Japan | hotel

Mountain wilderness hotel in Aomori's Hakkoda range with virgin beech forest and natural hot springs.

About this stay

Hotel Jogakura sits deep in the Hakkoda Mountains of Aomori Prefecture, surrounded by virgin beech forest and the dramatic Jogakura Gorge. The property is a wilderness retreat in the truest sense — the mountain air is pristine, and the natural hot spring baths face an unbroken wall of ancient trees. In winter, the Hakkoda Mountains become famous for their juhyo (snow monsters) — towering ice-encrusted trees that create an otherworldly landscape. Summer and autumn bring hiking through some of Tohoku's most spectacular and uncrowded wilderness.
