Aomori accomodation

[Roberta]

Hello to everybody!

Next August I will go to Amori during Nebuta Matsuri but
I have some difficulties in finding a cheap accomodation because it seems that the world is going there and every place is already fully booked!!
If someone has already been last years in Aomori city during this Matsuri maybe that can help me suggesting how to find an accomodation that can be booked overseas (I'm from Italy).
Thank you very much,
Roberta :wave:

Hirosaki is a bit far from Aomori, about a half an hour train ride, but I think you will use your JR pass, so I don't think the distance will matter.

You can reserve a room 3 months before you stay only when you register your membership in the site.

From Aomori Station, two trains to Hirosaki are available departing at:
22:23 (express train)
23:12

I've been to Aomori, but not during the Nebuta season (I desperately want to see it). I hope you'll share your photos here or else.

It is onsen-cho for around 20 minutes here from Aomori Station.
Because there is much Ryokan, please try to look for it.

Thank you very much for your answer, even if I've been in Japan only one time you can't imagine how much I love this country, his people, culture, food, tradition and I'm so happy to come back this summer!
