“Typical onsen experience, no surprises but pleasant”

They say the pick up needs to be prebooked but it really isn't necessary. The bus comes by Ajiro Station every 5/10 minutes around check in time.It's quite far from the station and there is nothing around the hotel, no stores or restaurants but there's no need to exit it anyway since food is all served. The hotel has a little convenience store for any last minute purchases. The secluded surroundings mean that it's very peaceful and there's a large garden with koi, plum trees and even early blooming sakura for you to get your hanami in. The entire hotel is a little worn for wear but the service was great. Because of the language barrier, they don't explain all of the amenities but it's easy to figure out. Yukatas are available for free near the onsens and you can wear them for as long as you stay. The food was surprisingly good and filling; even the breakfast was well presented though you don't have a choice in what they serve. They have one Chinese speaking staff for anyone who wishes to request that.

“Quaint but worthwhile Onsen”

We stayed here for one night with our Friends who live in Tokyo. My husband and I have one teenage son and our friends have a teenage daughter. Our friends booked this hotel as we wanted a Japanese experience. And that we got! We were greeted well from checkin. Us three girls got to select the Yukata we liked to wear to the Onsen and to meals. The rooms were enormous and we had a lot of space for our three Tatamis. Nice and warm. Just beware that the height of ceilings and door frames are made for the Japanese stature. The three boys had to duck to go through the doors. They are all over 6ft 2in! We had our 10 course sashimi dinner served in our room! What service. Traditional Japanese style Breakfast was served in the common room. The Onsen was quite nice and relaxing with an outdoor one. The Koi in the garden were voracious eaters! You need a car to get to this hotel. Definitely worthwhile. We paid ~ $210 per head for accom and dinner+brekky

“Nic place, Good Food”

This is a nice Japanese Onsen ryokan with good food. The outdoor bath was nice, as well. It's an older property and they are just about keeping up with maintenance. Maybe you could say they are a bit behind here and there. Generally speaking it's a pleasant place with good food.

“Visit to Checkout ph9.5 Onsen”

We arrived at Ajiro Stn at 1330 n the ryokan pickup arrived shortly thereafter. We checked in but weren’t given room keys till past 1400.

We arrived at Ajiro Stn at 1330 n the ryokan pickup arrived shortly thereafter. We checked in but weren’t given room keys till past 1400. We took a short walk around the garden but did not attempt to walk to the promenade, where there are restaurants n a supermarket, which was about 1km away. The room has a attached toilet but no shower. The ph9.5 Onsen water was not smooth like Kannon in Izukyu-Shimoda, which was a bit of disappointment. There’s an indoor n outdoor, n the water was comfortably hot. Dinner was served in the tatami room, but breakfast was in the dining hall. Food was ok n adequate. Service staff were very friendly n attentive.
