Kakunodate is known as the “Little Kyoto of Michinoku” for its beautiful streets.
Kakunodate Sanso WabiZakura is located in the Nishiki-cho Monya area, also known as the “back room” of Kakunodate.
It is only a 15-minute drive from JR Kakunodate Station and a 10-minute drive from Kakunodate Bukeyashiki Dori, a famous sightseeing spot.
As you pass through the quaint gate, you will be greeted by a 200-year-old thatched old house reminiscent of good old Japan.
This is the main building of the inn, and the guest rooms are located beyond it.

The charm of WabiZakura is its quaint scenery and space.
The snow in winter, weeping cherry blossoms in spring, deep green in summer, and colored leaves in autumn make for a beautiful and emotional experience.
Inside the main building, there is a reception area with an open atrium that gives a sense of openness. In the earthen lobby, there is a sunken hearth lounge with a free hand hook, where you can relax on the sofa.
The room is decorated with furnishings passed down from the Aoyagi family, who are also associated with the samurai residence in Kakunodate, creating a sophisticated atmosphere.
