We love it Staff are all very service Overall I highly recommend anyone who wants to look for authentic ryokan stay at kinugawa

Overall, I was very satisfied. There's a children's play area, the large communal bath has an open-air hot spring, and it's generally spacious and nice. That said, it can't be helped that it gets crowded. There are also times when you can enjoy free drinks, which is great. If I had to say something, I would say it would be great if the buffet menu didn't change and if there were two types of baby food instead of just one.

The facilities and hospitality of the hotel mentioned above are close to full marks. On the other hand, unfortunately the cleaning of the hot spring bath is not so good, and there is nothing that can be done about the quality of the hot spring water. And the quality of the dinner. The number of dishes is more than enough, but I would like them to take the taste more seriously. I would like food that tastes good, not just the price.

This was my first time staying at Asaya Hotel, and I booked a valley-side room in the Shuho-kan wing. While the hotel itself felt a bit dated and the room had a slight musty smell, it was impeccably clean, which made for a comfortable stay. There was just one major drawback. The 'valley-side' of the Shuho-kan wing, unbeknownst to me, faces the direction where several well-known abandoned hotels in Kinugawa Onsen are located. When I looked out from the balcony, I was met with the sight of a truly eerie abandoned hotel. To be frank, the view was far from pleasant and quite unsettling. It was genuinely frightening. Even from the onsen windows, those abandoned hotels were clearly visible, making the nights feel particularly eerie and scary. Aside from that, everything else was great; the buffet was thoroughly satisfying, and the service was excellent.

The service was impeccable, with the young waiters always smiling. During my seven-day trip to Japan, this was the only place where I experienced the kind of Japanese service I've been seeing online. The room was spacious, and the food and hot springs were excellent. It was a pleasant surprise to find such a hot spring inn in a secluded area like Kawaji Yumoto. The only downside was that the furniture was a bit dated. The filter on the kettle's outlet was rusty and yellowed. I hope it's replaced soon, as it's not a very expensive item.

The hotel itself is lovely, and the service was incredibly attentive. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious. We booked a large room which was exceptionally spacious, and my family absolutely loved it. Its proximity to Toshogu Shrine was a huge plus – just a 5-minute walk to the entrance, making it super convenient for sightseeing. Overall, a highly recommended hotel.

A family trip, parents and children. Kinugawa is a declining hot spring town. It became popular after Tobu opened the train. I chose this place at night when I was traveling to Nikko. The hotel is a little far from Tobu Kinugawa Station, and it takes more than 20 minutes to walk. It is recommended to take the bus next to the station if you are traveling with children, the elderly or large suitcases. The hotel dinner is buffet style, and drinks are charged separately. The men's and women's baths are switched in the morning and evening. The open-air baths also do not offer views of the outside. The room size is OK, enough for children. A standard hot spring hotel.

The environment is still good, the location is relatively quiet, the big bath and hot spring are on the first floor, the view is also very good when eating breakfast, and fortunately I saw the rainbow 🌈

For the guests who are open to the soup, there are not many people, the indoor and outdoor are great Arrived very late, a very kind old lady personally picked up the parking lot and helped with heavy luggage. Take us to visit the baths and rooms The waiters during the day were also very enthusiastic and recommended attractions that we could sightseeing nearby. Because of the off-season, the attractions of the plateau are not regularly rested. Zuih went to a very close ranch, and the store personally sent us to the attractions. Too thoughtful

Overall is good in terms of food/facilities/services. Yumoto onsen bus stop is only 3mins walk away from hotel. The tatami room I stayed is spacious..just that it got smell which I believe it is due to lack of ventilation. Feel ok after i spray some air freshener.
