At Aomori Winery Hotel, we craft our wine with great care.
Aomori Winery Hotel proudly houses the Sun Mamoru Winery No. 2 Facility. Aomori prefecture is the largest producer of Steuben grapes in Japan. They are mainly produced in the Tsugaru region, where the climate is suited for wine making. We are one of only a few hotels in the entirety of Japan with an annexed winery, offering guests the experience of visiting a winery during their hotel stay. We hope you will visit our winery and discover the essence of Japanese wine.
