Shouhaku-tei Azumaso

The Onsen temperature was perfect, and I could have stayed in forever. There was also a sauna, and I was impressed that even the open-air bath had a washing area. The Yakult and apple juice after the bath were delicious, and I could relax with manga in a cozy Room that felt like having a kotatsu at home. The breakfast and dinner were served in private rooms on traditional set trays, which felt wonderfully nostalgic! I was extremely satisfied.

We stayed in a Room with a private Onsen bath at Koin, with breakfast only.The parking lot is right next door and has a large area.Everyone at the Ryokan provided excellent hospitality, and we had a pleasant time.The Room was spacious and clean, though I wouldn’t call it the newest.One thing to note is that you need to fill the in-room bath yourself, so it took some time before we could get in.The large public bath and open-air bath were also very relaxing, and there were other facilities such as a rest area and a “cat zone” (a space decorated with cat-themed amenities—there don’t seem to be any real cats), which we enjoyed.
