The Ajisai Onsen Ryokan was an amazing experience. The hotel is small, quaint, peaceful and the Onsen's are fantastic. There are not enough words to describe the staff. Nagi, Namu, Rubi... the Chef, the cleaners were TOP Notch. Stayed for 6 nights and we ordered the 7 course Kaiseki meal for 5 nights. Delicious can't even describe what we ate. We are already planning a trip back to the Ajisai. The one on one Customer Service relationship is a 10 star in our book. Domo Arigato for soothing our souls,

Family of four stayed a regular room with very comfortable floor mats. Everything from the staff to the cleanliness and attention to detail was amazing. We really enjoyed the onsen experience including the provided yakats. Easy walk from the train station or a very inexpensive cab. We opted for the half board and that was amazing 7 course Japanese mess worth every yen! We were sad to leave.

I stayed with my partner and his elderly parents. We were so impressed with the quality of the service here. I especially loved being able to partake in the traditional aspects of the ryokan, wearing yukata, sleeping on futon. We loved the traditional Japanese meal package, the food was superb! Thank you so much for hosting us, we left with such fond memories!

The staff was especially helpful and accommodating. The room was clean and suited our party of 4 perfectly. We enjoyed the Japanese dinner (cooking part of our meal on the individual hot plates was different and fun) and breakfast. We liked having a choice of using indoor and outdoor onsen. We would definitely stay there again.
