Ryokans in Achi

This is a quaint and beautiful property in stargazing village Aichi. If you arrive before 5pm you can have welcome drinks at the lobby. The dinner is unique with Salmon and Horsemeat Sashimi, coal BBQ with scallops, Unagi, prawns, fish, shabu shabu sukiyaki style with marbled wagyu beef that is thinly sliced (melts in your mouth) and lots of fresh vegetables. The sesame tofu with jellified soup was unique. We enjoyed the dinner very much - extremely generous portions - they made the salmon corn rice dish into onigiris so we could pack back to the room because we could not finish. There is a small and very clean onsen in the hotel, the girls and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The hotel room had Japanese style robes that you could wear for dinner and throughout the hotel. It was very comfortable and an enjoyable experience. Breakfast was again impressive. Western style breakfast was sliced potato gratin with sausages and tomato or garlic ranch sauce served with 3 types of bread with margarine and apple jam (white, wheat and tomato bun). The bread was served warm. The Japanese style breakfast came with a bucket of warm Japanese fluffy rice, and a basket of condiments like seaweed, preserved vegetables and plums, lotus, scrambled eggs. There was some hot soup and tea that you can pour over rice. They also served us freshly hand ground coffee and some matcha. The kids had apple juice. At 9pm there is a complimentary stargazing opportunity - Hama-san was very friendly, showing us the different constellations and setting up the telescope to show us the moon and Saturn with its rings. The night we were there 8 Sep 9pm there was a super full bright moon, so it outshone the stars. Despite that we still saw Vega, Ursa Major and Scheat a star in Pegasus (a red giant). When I woke up in the middle of the night to use the washroom - I saw Orion’s Belt and Sirius in Canis Major. The kids enjoyed the glamping room, which had up to 6 beds.

shuttle service to and from train station Lida There was a great selection of food staff Nishinko Mahashita was very helpful and spoke English reasonably well (not sure of spelling his name )

Room spacious and well-equipped. The beautiful garden view was soothing and refreshing. The gentleman at the reception was very helpful and polite. He tried his very best to answer our every question and helped arranging our stargazing night tour efficiently. Breakfast was good.

Excellent hospitality, elaborate dinner, great place to spend a quiet weekend.

The staff was very friendly and welcomed us. They put so much effort, we felt well treated. We loved the food so much, it was the best and premium food! They even took care of our allergies!

Food is perfect, staff is kindness and helpful, nice and clean

Amazing place to stay! They only book one group at a time so you have a private residence all to yourself! The inn is nestled in a forest next to a river and waterfall so very picturesque. The best feature though is the Kaiseki meals they prepare just for your group. The chef is trained in french cuisine but made a wonderful japanese dinner for us. I would highly recommend this ryokan if you want an authentic experience in a beautiful setting. The private onsen was also a great feature. They'll also pick you up and take you to your departure point e.g. train station.

Very good experience in old rayokan. Big house great hospitality.

If you want to feel some Japanese culture and nature - this is the right place, and with a stile.

Very conveniently located, just about 3-4 minutes walk from Nakatsugawa station. The staff at the reception are very friendly and helpful. It is a Japanese style Ryokan, the rooms are very beautiful, spacious and clean. The shower and toilet facilities are shared but everything is clean and plentiful amenities are available. I had read some reviews about the place being noisy and I was a bit worried about that but during my stay I did not experience any such problems. Lots of restaurants and convenience stores are there at walking distance.
