  Pricey but unforgettable

  We stayed overnight with 4 other couples (Japanese, Chinese, American and French). Our unanimous verdict was that from the moment we arrived until we departed, everything was exquisite: the koi pond that greeted us upon arrival, our rooms, the food, service, etc etc etc. The entire place is very serene. I told my husband and our friends that within a few minutes from our arrival, I was completely relaxed just soaking in the atmosphere. Guests need to leave their shoes at the main entrance for the duration of their stay so everyone walks around wearing tabi (Japanese socks). We also wore our yutaka (Japanese robes) throughout. The room assigned to us (named Nadeshiko) had 2 western twin beds, while our friends had traditional tatami rooms. We had fun exploring our room which had several sliding doors so we discovered we had 2 toilets and 2 vanities. The best feature of our room was a small living/dining area with a view of a garden. [We were served a traditional Japanese breakfast in our room on the morning of our departure.] Our dinner (included in the price of our stay) was superb. One of the selections was an exceptionally large and sweet tomato that was different from anything I've ever had before. There was also an eel selection that was very well prepared - i normally do not like eel, but thoroughly enjoyed what we were served. After dinner, the hotel staff took us to a nearby bridge (around 500m or so from the hotel) where we watched fireflies. A nice 'poetic' way to cap the evening, as one of our friends said. Right outside the hotel, there are beautiful bamboo gardens and a shrine, which make for a pleasant stroll. Everything was beautiful and perfect. Would absolutely love to go back someday.

  Inolvidable experiencia en ryokan

  Esta fue nuestra primera vez en un ryokan por lo que no podemos comparar pero aún así podemos decir que el hotel no deja indiferente. Es de aquellos sitios que te dejan cara de bobo. El sitio es precioso. Está lleno de detalles, de antigüedades, de muebles de diseño con aire zen además de un jardín espectacular con su propio lago donde en temporada realizan obras de teatro. Está todo pensado para relajarse y descansar. Tanto la cena como el desayuno están incluidos. La cena , tipo Kaiseki, fue excelente y abundante. La sirven en tu misma habitación de una manera muy tradicional. Solo con ver la manera en cómo sirven la cena ya vale la pena. La carta de vinos es aceptable aunque no olvidemos que continuamos en Japón. El hotel se encuentra en la localidad de Shuzenji. Un pequeño pueblo bien conservado con un templo y un paseito de 30 minutos muy agradable. Si el bolsillo te lo permite, no dudaría en ir.

  Stay at Asaba Ryokan

  A big step up from our last Ryokan in Kyoto. The hotel room is c 70sqm and divided into three parts; a sitting tea where you have lunch and dinner, a sleeping area and a balcony overseeing a small decorative lake and the wooded hillside (see photo). Futon style bed was incredibly comfortable with down quilt and pillows. Never ending supply of dishes at dinner and good wine list for anyone not hing the full health route. In room bath fed from the natural springs and choice of indoor and outdoor public baths as well as private baths for family. The only word of warning is for those over the average Japanese height. Most doorways are at about five foot ten and I have a few battle scars to prove it - care when moving around after dark!! Fully deserves a five star rating

  Pure Bliss

  We stayed here for the last few days of our honeymoon in January 2020 and it was truly a blissful end to the trip. The staff treat you like royalty, from the moment you check in and take your shoes off at the entrance to a practically presidential goodbye when you check out and depart. The food was impeccable - so authentic, fresh, and well-presented. Special nod to Tai, the young lady who served our dinners and breakfasts each day. The hot spring bath was so serene, especially at night when the surrounding trees are lit up so you can just gaze into the distance. The beds were probably the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in - the pillows and comforters looked and felt like clouds. The entire ambiance and peaceful views encourage you to just disconnect, and I highly recommend the splurge here for a few nights of pure Japanese relaxation.

  serene, peaceful and so comfortable

  The property is still the same as many years ago.... wonderful. clean, welcoming, pleasant and relaxing. have been more than 10 times and visited again after a five year absence. love it more and more. the only thing is that the time schedule for using the outdoor bath could be improved a bit. 2 hours for men, then 2 hours for women and repeat this cycle. thank you asaba - you are one of my favorite places to stay in Japan1
