    Unforgettable experience! The place is amazing, the staff very kind (especially the lady at the reception desk, she speaks very good Ensligh). We tried the traditional Japanese dinner and it was delicious (they also managed to cater my food allergies, thing that is not always to take for granted in Japan). They have a tattoo-friendly public onsen, too. Absolutely recommended!

    The futon was a little too hard for us and - visiting in the summer, we would have appreciated a blind/curtain covering all the windows so we didn’t wake up quite so early (in our room there was a higher window without a covering)

    Lovely welcome, excellent location, wonderfully decorated property which is lovely to spend time in - we appreciated the coffee in the lounge, the delightful Onsen and the absolutely delightful breakfast. It was a lovely surprise that the Japanese set breakfast was different for each of our two mornings.

    From you enter the reception you are met with a beautiful traditional Japanese interier, it is very well done. Everyone there were very polite and respectful, from staff to other guests. We three women arrived around 16, were able to select a cute yukata each we wore as much as possible for our one night stay, and were shown our room which were as big as a small apartment. We choose to go directly to the onsen which had just opened for the afternoon and had the place for ourselves. Very well stocked with brushes, hairties, lotions, everything free to use! the rooms were nice and comfortable, there was a beautiful tea set for us to use so we had a tea party in our yukatas, before dinner. We had paid for the dinner which was serving after serving of small dishes and a particularly tasty hida beef with miso dish. The beds and shower were great, nothing to complain about there, we had the traditional breakfast the day after with a self serve bar of drinks such as tea, coffee, juice and milk. Oh and we also went down to the onsen before breakfast and were once again alone to relax and take our time. It was probably the most expensive stay we have included on our trip but it was also by far the best experience we have had, and can recommend anyone to try it even just for a night like us, if not more ☺️

    I loved it. Totally loved it.

    ryokan Asunaro is beautiful, the welcome warm and enthusiastic and they have thought of everything to make your experience as great as possible. It’s close to the station but just a short walk from the centre. The dinner I booked with them was simply sublime and I took Japanese breakfasts on both days and each was different. I cannot praise it highly enough.

    Only allowed to book dinner for 1 night although we stayed 3 nights. Public bath was too small, without outdoor bath. We also didn’t like the notice in the elevator asking for good rating in exchange for a gift.

    Room was clean and spacious with lovely decorations and nice facilities. Staff were very friendly. Location was good. It was a comfortable place to stay during the float festival. Breakfast and dinners were sumptuous.

    This was a wonderful place to stay. The hotel and our room were beautifully presented, charming finished and authentic atmosphere. The room had everything you needed, was a good size and quiet. The property was located perfectly to explore the area and in close proximity to the rail station to explore the surrounding areas. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

    This is a beautiful hotel with excellent customer service. The room was beautiful. The Japanese style with having the slippers, yukata and beautiful decor was top notch. It was fun to use the onsen and feel relaxed and invigorated. Having a very nice laundry room was an absolute bonus to freshen up our travel clothes. The Japanese breakfast was delicious and the dining room was beautiful.

    This spot was probably the highlight of our trip. It has so much character and charm! The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable and the inn was quiet. It was about five minutes from the centre of town and you could even borrow their bicycles. The entire experience was so full of small touches like kimonos to fit and an exquisite breakfast - it’s one place you won’t forget.

    It was like stepping into another world. This is kind of an introductory experience of a ryokan, with everything explained. I appreciated that, and I'll feel more confident visiting another ryokan later. The kaiseki dinner was very special and the breakfasts were also very nice, and I appreciated that they catered for our food preferences.
