Our stay at the inn was incredible and one of the best parts of our Japan trip. First of all, the inn itself is beautiful and very relaxing to stay at with its beautiful rooms and stunning Japanese garden – we really enjoyed looking at the view of the garden from our room. The host was super helpful and amazing! He was incredibly kind, and went out of his way to show us some of the beautiful natural attractions of the area. He made it feel like a second home in Japan. The food at the inn was just as great as the rest of the inn, with different traditional food experiences. The host made vegetarian food especially for one of us, which was just as delicious. The food is definitely the best traditional food we had on our Japan trip. So all in all we really can’t recommend it enough! It was an incredible experience on all counts, and we especially appreciated the hospitality and kindness of the host. Can’t wait to come back for our next Japan trip! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b8b86f1c-762b-4188-9c65-42a5cfc94388-1745724186310.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4739ec86-e5c9-4deb-bb2e-a2f63324ce23-1745724195659.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c0df6861-3e45-430f-85d8-7d6efe5e9bd6-1745724194996.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/09854e63-a957-4e69-bf10-5b9e07dc14ba-1745724200613.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Laurits Lykke Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesper Apr 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The Best part of our trip to Japan After an extensive three-week exploration of Japan, from the bustling streets of Tokyo to Osaka, Nagoya and Kyoto, our adventure found its highlight in the serene embrace of Asahikan Ryokan.
