Kaiseki Ryokan Ashikari

Acceptable dinner food quality, but quite disappointed on low-class wooden chopsticks and strange mango pudding dessert , prefer to have seasonal fresh fruit instead.

The food is good and the size of the room is great and amenities are excellent. We will come again.

This Ryokan is a bit secluded. Do email them if you need a free shuttle van service coming from the Yugawara train station (van service started after 2pm). Their is service is outstanding from the moment you arrived at the hotel. The room is huge and lovely. The open air bath area offered a nice scenic view during the day. The night view of the moon and stars while soaking in the bath is even more stunning. The Kaiseki dinner and breakfast were delicious. The service staff was very professional and tried their best to explain the different courses of food with their limited English. Highly recommended for people to experience their first Ryokan stay.

妻が妊娠後期でしたが、スタッフの方の気配りが素晴らしかったです。具体的に、食事や飲み物、荷物の持ち運びなど、妊婦に優しい対応をいただきました。

内湯も広々、きれいで清潔感もあり、部屋も広くて使いやすく、家族で泊まるには最高でした。唯一嬉しい誤算だったのは夕食と朝食が美味しくて量も多いので、常に満腹だったことです。従業員の皆様も丁寧で、日本語のとても流暢な外国人の従業員の方のおもてなしもすごく洗練されていました。ありがとうございました。また来ます。

とても良い時間を過ごしました！ 離れに行くまでが、少し足下が怖い気がしたことと 朝ごはんも夜ご飯もレストランではなく 同じ場所のフロント前の場所だったのが少し残念。
