    Everything was perfect. Seriously.

    The Service was amazing we felt welcomed and cared for. The dinner was the highlight, probably the best dinner of our entire trip. The private onsen room was extremely relaxing. Nothing could get much better.

    Our stay at Yoshimatsu was excellent. Their rooms are very spacious, and ours had a private outdoor onsen which was gorgeous. The staff was welcoming and extremely courteous. The kaseki dinner and breakfast were very rich and portion were generous. Even though our palates were not accustomed to some of the dishes, it is an experience that everyone must try. They have a beautiful common garden, with a direct view of Mt. Fuji. Location was great, just a few minutes away from Lake Ashino.

    Absolutely exceptional! The food was so good and there was so much we couldn't even finish it. The staff went above and beyond and were so friendly. We would recommend this place to anyone, and in fact we already have. Highly rate the room with the private onsen.

    A shuttle from the train station would be a bonus because it is not the easiest place to get to, but, what is really needed are more clear directions on the website for getting to the property. There were a couple of different routing options available, but one was much simpler (not requiring a train transfer) for no additional expense; however, this wasn't clear on the information provided by the hotel.

    This was the most beautiful property at which we stayed in our 2 weeks traveling around Japan and I only wish we had had at least 3 nights. Everything was gorgeous and the service was excellent. We had a room with our own onsen and it was a real treat! Walking around the property and the surrounding area, along with beautiful views of Mt. Fuji made this part of our trip extra special. Would love to stay again someday!

    Nothing!! But just to note there is a corkage fee if you bring your own alcohol, and you have to pay for anything you drink there. we had brought alcohol but we didn’t drink it & instead had a really lovely bottle of Japenese sparkling wine from the ryokan (we then spent the rest of our time in Japan trying to find a bottle but couldn’t.. so that might be once in a lifetime too!!)

    From the moment we arrived we felt so well looked after. We had a garden room with its own onsen which we chose as my husband has tattoos. It was even better than the pictures. The kaiseki was the best food we’ve ever had. The service was also amazing…We really were waited on like a king & queen. We actually slept so well (too well, woke up to breakfast arriving!). This was a real honeymoon splurge but for what we got, we feel it was amazing value for money. If you’ve got a hotel budget, I really recommend splashing out on this then going cheap elsewhere! This was our highlight of Japan. A real once in a lifetime experience.

    There are no negatives to think of, if yukatas were able to buy and bring back home would be a positive thing. The yukatas provided were colorful, clean, and great to wear.

    The food, the onsen, the hospitality were top notch.

The lady who took care of us was so cordial and friendly. The other staff members were so helpful and they offered us the ride til the bus stop. The room was beautiful, the futons are so confortable. In one word WONDERFUL. Thanks you again for your hospitality 🤗

    Incredible english speaking staff and service. Huge room in a beautiful roykan! We got a room with a private onsen which definitely was worth it.
