Asarigawa Hot Spring

The room was very spacious. Our room had a living space area with sofa and coffee table. The kitchenette had a microwave, kettle, induction stove, and fridge. Tableware, pots/pans, utensils and dish soap + sponge were included. The bathroom also had a washer. We liked that the sink, toilet, and bathing area were all separated.

This was a beautifully situated apartment stay with a gorgeous view, and had access within minutes of a green belt along the river on one side, with a children’s playground, and, on the other side, a small rabbit shrine and park. There were restaurants and cafes in walking distance (15 minutes), and the subway entrance is 5 minutes away, just a couple of stops from the well-loved shopping district of Susukino. I can wholeheartedly recommend it. My two small complaints are (1) I wish the key pick-up was at the same building as the apartment stay, and (2) with everything else being so fantastic, I wish the beds were more comfortable. It seems like an easy enough thing to improve, and it would do a great deal to make the stay feel cozy to travelers who are tired and sore from a long day of sightseeing. Again, those are small complaints only for an otherwise spectacular stay!
