10/10 Exceptional

Our first time in a Ryokan and my first time in Japan. Now at the end of our journey, I think we started at the best of traditional Ryokans. Beautiful location, in the forest and deer all around. Very welcoming staff and we were looked after so well by our hostess, who was lovely and helped us with everything..she even spoke some English! Quite a personal experience. The meals were exquisite to look at and eat (breakfast and dinner). The rooms were very large and the views so restful, all...

You never know which one to go with when scrolling through the countless options on the Internet, but we are very glad we stayed at Asukasou. The people were genuinely friendly and helpful and the room was really nice - the best futon I've ever slept on! There is an open air rooftop bath that is a must do if you stay here. Be warned: those travelling with English only may have trouble finding this inn as the sign (I think) was only in Japanese.
