Nestled in a residential neighborhood of Kuroishi City, Aomori Prefecture, “GuestHouse Kitayama” is a warm and welcoming guesthouse run by a Japanese-Malaysian couple originally from Kuroishi. Although the property is housed in a typical Japanese home, stepping inside reveals a space that feels like “Little Asia.”
The accommodation style makes use of guest rooms on the second floor, which were once children’s bedrooms, allowing guests to experience the nostalgic atmosphere of a “Japanese home” even while traveling. Guests are free to use the kitchen and washing machine, and a large supermarket is just a 3-minute walk away.
We serve breakfast prepared with care for our guests, and even for those staying multiple nights, we strive to offer a variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes that change daily. The interactive stay—featuring local specialties, everyday Japanese cuisine, Southeast Asian dishes like Malaysian food, and BBQs in the garden—is popular for experiences you can only find here. Since we accommodate English and Chinese, international guests can stay with peace of mind.
Located just a 5-minute drive from the Kuroishi Interchange, the property offers excellent access and serves as a convenient base for exploring the Hirosaki, Aomori, and Hakkoda areas. We are truly a “guesthouse that connects people,” offering friendly and personalized assistance with sightseeing information. If you’re using public transportation, please come to Kuroishi Station on the Konan Railway Kuroishi Line, and we’ll be happy to pick you up. Please make your reservation via Airbnb or Asiayo.

Kitayama House BLOG
Welcome to Japan. Welcome to Tohoku Aomori.
This is an ordinary house located in Kuroishi City, Aomori Prefecture. Usually, a local husband in his 50s and his Chinese wife from Malaysia live there. Two rooms on the second floor, which used to be children’s rooms, are open to the public for guests. My wife speaks Chinese and English, so those who are not comfortable with Japanese can stay at ease. There is a local supermarket nearby, so you can cook your own meals in the kitchen. You can also use the washing machine.
