Amagi Onsenkyo × Accommodation For Enjoying Walks In The Onsen TownHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

This was a truly wonderful Accommodation. Our family takes 2–3 trips a year to an Onsen Accommodation that we can reach from Tokyo for one night, usually spending around ¥30,000–¥40,000 per person. My wife chooses the Accommodation each time, but lately none have been memorable enough to stand out—until now. For the first time in a while, we found an Accommodation we genuinely want to return to. Many of the staff are from Southeast Asia, but they told us they have passed JLPT N1 and also undergo a full year of training. We never once had any trouble communicating. I previously lived in Thailand for about five years, so I already knew people from Southeast Asia are often even more diligent and hardworking than Japanese people—but I was still impressed by just how much care they showed. We had an extremely comfortable stay. These days many staff don’t wear name tags (perhaps due to measures against customer harassment), so I didn’t catch anyone’s name, but I would especially like to thank the woman in charge of our Room for her wonderful hospitality and thoughtfulness. The heartfelt send-off by all staff after checkout truly moved us. As for the Onsen, both the water quality and bath area were honestly fairly standard, but everything was very clean. One thing I did notice: it’s great that you don’t need to bring towels into the bath area, but you still need things like a change of underwear or your phone—so in the end we carried them in a plastic grocery bag. Many other Onsen provide a larger drawstring pouch for this purpose; I would appreciate having one available in the Room. Also, my wife mentioned that she felt uneasy about how dark it was on the way to the large bath and inside it as well. Lastly, we felt the air conditioner was slightly loud—just sharing this as feedback. And most importantly: the meals were outstanding! The balance, portion size, and taste were all impeccable—nothing at all to complain about. I’m a big eater and often find meals at Accommodations not quite enough; this time I shared small portions of my wife’s meal with our son as well and still felt about 90% full—in other words, very satisfied without being overwhelmed. While breakfast is often disappointing at many places, breakfast here was also excellent—especially because it wasn’t that typical thin and overly crispy dried horse mackerel you often see elsewhere. And above all—the wasabi was delicious! Being able to get refills freely was fantastic. In any case, we definitely want to come again. Thank you very much.

I got a little lost, but it was located at the end of a narrow road. The food was delicious, just as the Reviews said. I could have seconds of bread and ended up completely full. It would have been nice to have coffee after the meal. I wish I could have used the bath in the morning too, but I used it twice at night and caused you some trouble. The high-tech-looking massage chair felt great.
