Hotels near Josenji, Asagiri

What a great experience! Very glad we spend one night at this unique place. The staff was extremely helpfull and kind. The rooms are very decent, considering it's an old sleeper train. Just keep in mind the rooms are quite narrow so there is not a lot of space to keep luggage in the room. And the other facilities (bathroom, common rooom) are not abundant, but clean and very much so sufficient for spending a night.

朝食バイキングですが、地元の食材などがふんだんに含まれていて美味しかったです。 ただ１点、リクエストですが私たちは和室に宿泊しましたが敷布団１枚では少々背中が痛かったです。 マットレスなどもう１枚敷物が有れば良かったかなと考えます。それ以外は非常に良かったです。

Hotel location is very good, 15 minutes walk from Renji Railway Station, except for too late or too early, other times you can let the hotel send a car to pick up or drop off. There is a large supermarket near the hotel. It is very convenient to buy things, but the drug store inside is not recommended, and the things are very expensive. The drug store in Renji City is about 2 kilometers away from the hotel. It is still a bit far away, but it is very large and basically has everything. Booked Japanese-style room, the room is very large and comfortable, the window is also very large, facing the ball mill, the scenery is very good. In the evening, when you go to dinner, there will be someone to make a bed for you. If you go out to eat, you have to say something to the front desk. It is recommended to order a pair of two foods. The delicious shop in Renji City is really rare. It is enough to go out to eat at noon. It is still a hotel at night. Everyday dinner is not heavy, the taste is very good, and the amount is very good. Hot springs are not available from 0:00 to 5:00, and there are other time, two big and two small pools, indoors and outdoors, separate men and women, not very few people who come to the tour group to soak, very clean. There is a free hot spring foot bath at the entrance of the hotel, and the bubbles are very comfortable. There are Chinese services in the hotel. There are several people who speak Chinese. It is very convenient to ask and the attitude is very good. If you come back later, you can still live here.

About 15 minutes walk from Renji Station. The room in Japan is still a relatively large window. The scenery is very good. The tranquility of the people is very good. The front desk service is very warm. The hotel has free bicycles. It can be borrowed from people. It is the most suitable way to ride a bicycle. After the dark, there are no pedestrians and cars. It is not very convenient to eat.

I stayed in Room 103, a deluxe Western-style room with a semi-open-air hot spring bath on the first floor, for one night from Saturday, February 17th. It has been three years since the major flood that struck this area in July 2020, and this inn was newly rebuilt in February 2023. When I think about the reconstruction, I feel a deep emotion. [About the room] This spacious room is 56 m2 and is located at the very back of the first floor. The living space and bed space are separated by a partition made of bamboo joinery, and each is independent, creating a calm design that blends in with the area. The hot spring attached to the room is a large bathtub with a natural hot spring, so you can relax at any time. There is a private terrace outside the room, where you can spend your time after bathing slowly on the sofa while looking at the greenery. What bothered me was that the safe in the room was very narrow and in a dark place, and I felt that it was difficult to understand how to operate it, and while the texture of the bathrobe was very good and comfortable, the slippers for wearing in the room felt thin and cheap. [About the hot springs] There are three hot springs with different spring qualities in the building, one of which is a private bath. It is quite fun to be able to take a tour of the various hot springs, including the hot spring in the room, during your stay. The hot spring that was particularly good was the first hot spring, ”Mikage no Yu,” located underground. The hot spring was very soft and smooth on the skin, and was of the finest quality, as the name ”the hot spring where Hitoyoshi hot spring originated.” There are also the second hot springs, ”Suiga no Yu” and ”Suizan no Yu,” for men and women, on the second and third floors, respectively, which are the large public baths of the inn, and are also equipped with a small open-air bath and sauna. You can also see the beautiful view of the clear stream ”Kuma River” from the window of the indoor bath. [About the meals] We had both dinner and breakfast in a private room at the restaurant ”Soho” on the first floor. Both meals were delicious and of a satisfactory quality. What was particularly impressive was the ”salted grilled yamame” at dinner, which was a plump yamame with thick flesh. Also, the ”Kake Gohan” served for breakfast was delicious rice topped with plenty of freshly shaved bonito flakes, making it an excellent meal. The staff were all very friendly and pleasant, but dinner was served too quickly, which was a bit of a concern. [About the public areas] Free drinks were available in the lobby, and there was a wonderful ”water basin terrace” outside in front of the lobby, where you could relax and feel the breeze from the river. There was also a ”starry sky terrace,” where a bonfire was lit at night, and you could sit in a chair and look at the beautiful starry sky. [Overall review] The facility was designed to skillfully incorporate the surrounding scenery, the facilities made the most of the limited space, the smiling service of the staff, the superb hot springs, and the delicious food, all of which made for a satisfying stay. This stay made me want to return if I have the opportunity.
