Kinugawa Onsen Asaya

I visited with my husband for a belated wedding anniversary. The welcome at the entrance by so many staff members was amazing—I was truly surprised. The grand lobby was wonderful, filled with the sound of a pipe organ and an indescribable atmosphere, and the classical furnishings were beautiful as well. We stayed in Building No. 8 in a Japanese-style room with beds. It was incredibly spacious, with a stunning view and the soothing sound of the river flowing below. There was also a TV in the bedroom. The vanity area was large, and even the private bath had Onsen water—pure luxury. The rooftop garden bath was beyond amazing, and all of the other baths were excellent too. Watching trains go by while soaking, seeing birds of prey spread their wings across the sky, and taking in the mountain range—it all felt mystical. I wanted to stay forever... Dinner was served in a semi-private room (almost completely private—and very spacious), and it was an outstanding kaiseki meal with incredible attention to detail worthy of a traditional restaurant. At the end, we even received an anniversary gift from the proprietress—it meant so much to us, and we are truly grateful. Breakfast was also delicious—especially the dashimaki tamago; I became a big fan.Each dish was beautifully crafted and tasted wonderful as well. We will definitely return—this became a truly special memory for us. Thank you very much.P.S. 1: The Asaya manju were unbelievably delicious—I made Reservations for four boxes, and everyone loved them.P.S. 2: The lounge was also fantastic—stylish interior design with wonderful craftsmanship; the sweets were delicious, and they even prepared matcha for us. The manju served with it were Asaya manju as well—an Accommodation that showed heartfelt care in every detail.I would like to order Asaya manju again.

There were welcome snacks in the lobby, and a free 24-hour drink server as well.The starry sky seen from the open-air bath at night was amazing. The large public bath has several showers with different types of showerheads. The locker area in the bath was always spotless. The Room was also clean, and there were so many kinds of delicious dishes that I couldn’t finish them all—just looking at them was exciting.At night there was a bingo event, plus a small library, game corner, karaoke, etc.—there are plenty of Facilities to enjoy inside the Hotel. Please also try the crossword puzzle in your Room. There are escalators from the 6F lobby up to the 8th floor.I have stayed here several times before, and I was very satisfied again this time. I would like to stay again.Thank you very much.
