Tanigawa no Yu Asebino

We planned a 3-day, 2-night trip to Izu for our wedding anniversary and stayed one night at Asebino.From the moment we arrived, it met our expectations, and thanks to the efficient attendant’s recommendations, we were able to enjoy several private Onsen baths (the in-room bath was more than enough as well).We were extremely satisfied with everything—service, Onsen, and meals—and what made it even better was that all the other guests spent their time quietly in their own way. It reminded us that for a Hotel or Ryokan, fellow guests are an important element in creating the overall atmosphere, just as much as service, Onsen, and food.To all the staff and fellow guests who stayed with us: thank you for making this a memorable trip.

I stayed here last September and loved it, so I returned six months later and stayed in the same Room, Hana no Kura. It’s on the second floor, but it feels like having a private garden on the first floor, with an open-air bath plus a table and chairs. I could relax there all day. There are also four private baths. Three require a short walk outside and feel like you’re surrounded by nature along the river. The private bath on the third floor was stylish, with beautiful lighting. And the meals were outstanding. The tableware was thoughtfully chosen to match each dish, the presentation was elegant, and the flavors were excellent. I’m planning to make another Reservation. I’m glad I could visit during the season when asebi flowers are in bloom.
