Aromatic Flower Hospitality - Susaki Ryokan

We stayed with a group of 9 people (including a 5-month-old baby).Parking is available on both sides of the Accommodation, but since there is a one-lane road right in front with a fair amount of traffic, we parked head-in.The shoe lockers were easy to use, as each shelf was labeled with names.The Plan name said “in-room dining,” but because our group was large, dinner was served in the banquet hall instead. Since we could use it privately, we were able to dine comfortably. The meal was well balanced with both meat and fish, and everything was delicious.You can make a Reservation for the private bath at check-in. The changing area is quite small, so I recommend bringing only minimal belongings.As we were traveling with a baby this time, they kindly helped us by providing bottle sterilization and a baby futon. It was slightly disappointing that there wasn’t a toothbrush for children, but everyone served us with smiles and we had a very pleasant stay.Thank you very much for taking such good care of us.

We stayed as a couple in our 50s and 60s. We chose this Ryokan based on Reviews, and it was truly wonderful. Because I have trouble with my legs, we booked a bed Room (suite), and it was very spacious—plus we were surprised to find an electric bed. The building has the long history you’d expect from an established property, but the Room was clean and there were no issues. It had that typical “expanded over time” Ryokan feel. The private open-air bath was large and more than enough for two, and the water warmed us through nicely. On the other hand, the public bath does not have an open-air section, which made sense once we learned about the Ryokan’s history. Long ago, traveling merchants likely soaked here to relieve their fatigue from the road. The meals were full of delicious local specialties from the Chichibu area, and we really enjoyed them. Dinner is served in your Room, but for suites there is a separate dining room, which makes it feel extra special. The attendant staff member was lovely, and we enjoyed chatting as well. The only downside was the limited variety of sake, so I deducted one point—but overall it’s a very welcoming Ryokan with a warm, family-like atmosphere.
