From the moment we arrived, we were taken away by how stunningly beautiful this ryokan is. Everything is tastefully designed and at times it feels more like a museum than a ryokan. We loved our room Hagi which faced the pond. We also absolutely loved the food that was served here - the ingredients were very fresh and the dishes, to our palate, were better than the ones at Fufu (and mind you, food is a strong point across all Fufu properties). Our room attendant, Yoko, was also friendly, knowledgeable on a lot of things and had a cool personality. The tatami was also plush and very comfortable, possibly the best futons we have ever slept on. What wasn’t so great for us, however, was the lack of proficiency in English. There were a couple of service lapse, which we assume is due to language barriers despite what we thought was clear communication and acknowledgment. We feel that it should be better for Japanese speaking guests. We also feel that most staff here were a little bit old and feel that we might be a bit too young to be a guest, I’m not sure how we got the feeling but just didn’t click for us. For the room, it lacked the normal skincare amenities of an onsen ryokan and the hairdryer was very weak, which would pose an issue for the ladies or gents with long hair. Service here, while good, was not great per se. In the end we had a good stay here but were not blown away. Room: We stayed at Hagi room, which is adequately sized for two and enjoyed a great view of the garden. Would happily stay there again if we return. One night would be enough given the very small size of the Shuzenji town.

My husband and I just spent a glorious two nights at Asaba Ryokan and we loved it start to finish. Everything was spotlessly clean, the service was attentive but understated, and the peace, quiet and relaxation were the perfect antidote to jet lag. All that said, there are customs and etiquette specific to ryokans and hot springs bathing, so do your homework. If you are expecting to be able to choose your meals or not get naked to enter the communal baths (segregated by sex), you will be disappointed. If, however, you’re open to the experience and especially the bathing culture, you can’t do better than Asaba. If your goals are to relax, bathe and eat well, Asaba will tick every box. We can’t wait to go back!

While the property itself is undeniably beautiful, my experience fell short of expectations, especially considering the high nightly rate. Unfortunately, the meals were disappointing, and to make matters worse, I noticed red mold in the bathroom, which was concerning. The initial welcome staff was warm and attentive, but the service during our meals was quite the opposite—our server seemed unengaged, and the service was consistently slow. I was also surprised that alcohol wasn't included, not even the first round, given the price. When I requested an extra bottle of water, I was told it would incur an additional charge, which seemed excessive for something so basic. Another drawback was the lack of a comfortable place to sit together in the room. There was only a small bench that could barely accommodate one person. Aside from the bath, there were no amenities or activities offered on-site, which limited the overall experience. For the price we paid, I expected a lot more in terms of service, comfort, and offerings.

The staff at the hotel is truly excellent - friendly and welcoming, and communication prior to our stay was perfect. The kitchen accommodated my food allergies and the dinner and breakfast were delicious. Yoko, who served us our meals, is a delight and we loved her. The room was very spacious and quiet. The beds were really comfortable, and the onsen/shower room was wonderful. Our teens slept on futons on the floor in a tatami room, which worked really well. Asaba sits in a very pretty spot, with lovely views. My only complaints are that there was no lotion in the room (but there was in the common indoor batha reas), that nudity is required in the hot spring baths (I had thought it was optional to wear a swimsuit, so perhaps this was my fault), and that the hotel is very expensive. Although we really enjoyed our stay and the experience we had, I do not think it is a good value, although I have no other ryokan/onsen experience to compare it to. Also, the nudity rule makes it a bit uncomfortable for families with older children or teenagers.

A magical place, historic with lots of modern touches. We stayed in the Fuji room which looks out at a garden, koi pond, and bamboo forest. We loved our in-room onsen and the public/private baths were beautiful as well. The Japanese beds were plush and extremely comfortable, maybe the best sleep of our whole trip. We enjoyed most of the food, particularly the soups, cooked fish dishes, and both Japanese and Western breakfasts, and our meals were beautifully and thoughtfully prepared. Our room attendant, Yuri, was very warm and helpful. The service was wonderful, everyone is so lovely and kind. The place was fully booked and somehow we rarely saw other guests - it was as though we had the whole place to ourselves. A deeply soothing, peaceful experience and well worth the cost.

We have stayed at many Relais & Chateaux properties and this place may be the best yet. From the lovely accommodations and private onsen, to the spectacular bath, outstanding staff and delicious meals, we were amazed at the tranquility and beauty of everything around us. Even the town of Shuzenji was a lovely place to spend time and walk around. Truly a gem. We will stay there again.

Stunning property, service, and meals. The view out of every window looks like an old Japanese painting. I can't imagine how beautiful it is in the fall. This was the most peaceful, relaxing stay we've ever had anywhere.

Much has been said in detail in other reviews here about the excellence of Asaba. I won't repeat them, except to corroborate and say that Asaba is indeed one of the best luxury ryokan experiences in Japan (we stayed at several other well-known luxury ryokans including Gora Kadan and FUFU as well). The location and views are what sets it apart - it's truly one of the most beautiful settings that you can imagine, and is even more stunning in person than it is in pictures. Asaba's natural surroundings and views look almost unreal and storybook-inspired. This ryokan is a national treasure and I almost did not want to leave such a glowing review for fear of it becoming increasingly impossible to book...

Food: no flash presentation but every ingredient and preparation was impeccable. Decor: traditionally Japanese and spotless. View from the room: like a masterpiece picture with a breeze. Building: you don’t have to wear awkward slippers typical in Japanese ryokan. Lounge was wonderful. We enjoyed the the garden for hours there. Great collection of art books was fun, too. Perhaps you can have a glass of champagne there before dinner which will be served in your room so that you could eat it with pajama on if you want to relax. And the food will be grand-maison level!
