รีวิวและความประทับใจจากผู้เข้าพักที่ Kaiseki Ryokan Ashikari

Thank you for your patronage.

I thought it might be too cold for cherry blossoms in March, but thanks to the unseasonably warm weather during the week of my stay, I was able to enjoy cherry blossoms in 50-70% bloom. I was kindly upgraded to a room called "Takama," where I could relax in a bright and spacious room. The bathroom in the room was large enough for two people, and I enjoyed soaking in my favorite Yugawara hot spring water while listening to birdsong. ○ Highlights: - The response when I called beforehand was very polite (this alone raised my expectations for the accommodation!). - All staff members had wonderful smiles, and even foreign guests were given thorough explanations with great effort, which left a positive impression. - We were able to choose a smaller meal course, so we didn’t feel overly full after dinner. Both dinner and breakfast were truly delicious! - During meals, families with children and adults-only groups were seated in separate rooms, allowing everyone to enjoy their meals without concern for others. - Drinks from the refrigerator were free of charge; there were also capsule coffee machines, tea bags with black tea options, mini beers near the public bath exit area as well as juice cartons or Yakult (which personally made me very happy), plus small ice cream treats—there was an abundance of drink options available! - Perhaps because our room had been renovated two years ago? There seemed plenty of power outlets & USB ports around; additionally having full-length mirrors placed conveniently at two spots proved useful too! -The accommodation appeared quite busy yet remained remarkably quiet throughout our stay. ○ Slightly Disappointing Points: - The pick-up car did not arrive at its designated time (for accommodations at this level one might expect arrivals five minutes earlier than scheduled—but if delays stemmed due station rotary issues apologies are extended). - Considering how many towels provided overall perhaps adding some within restroom areas inside rooms would enhance convenience further? - Whether due low battery levels affecting washlet functionality—or outright malfunction—it stopped working unexpectedly three times across two days causing brief panic moments before resolving manually pressing buttons repeatedly until fixed temporarily again(!) Though understandably difficult detecting such issues during cleaning routines likely just bad luck encountered here instead. Despite these notes above overall experience staying here felt genuinely wonderful hence look forward returning someday soon hopefully again soon enough!! Many thanks sincerely extended towards all hardworking staff involved making visit memorable!!
