รีวิวและความประทับใจจากผู้เข้าพักที่ Kaiseki Ryokan Ashikari

The Room is one of a kind.

For a three-generation trip, we searched for a location with convenient access from Tokyo Station and chose Ashikari in Yugawara Onsen. It takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes by Limited Express Odoriko from Tokyo Station, followed by a 7-minute shuttle service from Yugawara Station to the accommodation. With only 17 rooms, each featuring a private open-air bath, the property also offers a compact yet charming public bath (semi-open-air). The deciding factor for choosing Ashikari was its unique "rooms." We selected the "Sagami-ji" room. Offering mountain and city views through floor-to-ceiling glass windows and high ceilings, it provided an open and relaxing atmosphere. The room included a massage chair and an open-air bath on the balcony with mountain views (natural hot spring water), which we enjoyed frequently during our stay. Amenities were provided by MIKIMOTO, which delighted everyone in our family. The combination of onsen benefits and MIKIMOTO products left our skin feeling smooth. Our elementary school-aged child was thrilled with unlimited ice cream and juice available near the lobby or outside the open-air baths. Adults could enjoy free coffee or drinks from the in-room refrigerator (we couldn’t even finish all the beer provided!). For dinner, we chose an additional "Matsusaka Beef" course via IKYU.com—highly recommended! The rest of the meal was also exceptional; as expected of Kaiseki Ryokan cuisine, it featured gentle flavors using local ingredients that left us fully satisfied. We appreciated being seated in a private dining area suitable for families—it allowed us to relax without worry while staff members kindly interacted with our child, creating a warm atmosphere where both body and mind could unwind completely. While there aren’t many sightseeing spots nearby, this ryokan is perfect for those who want to relax in onsen baths or experience staying in uniquely designed rooms. Highly recommended!
