Ryokan a Ajigasawa

We loved this hotel! The staff was so friendly and incredibly helpful from the moment we arrived. We are cycling in Japan and are usually a mess by the time we arrive and they helped us find a place for our bikes and quickly check us in. All the drinks, snack and popsicles were unlimited and a joy. I made an espresso in the AM. Perfect. The dinner was exquisite. One of our favorites with fresh sashimi, and light delicate tempura. All the staff explained each item and local ingredients made it extra special. We ate double gohan beer had a big appetite. Special thanks to all who made us feel welcomed! The 2 crazy cyclists!

So many nice things that it is hard to know where to start. There is a lounge area with large picture windows and a nice collection of snacks and drinks to partake of as you look at the beautiful views. In the evening they have a shamisen player. There is a small Shinto shrine at the corner of the lawn and picnic tables if you want to sit outside. The on-sen area was lovely with great amenities and an outdoor bath with views out to the Sea of Japan. The food was excellent. It was mostly buffet style but beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, both at breakfast and dinner. We stayed three nights and, for guests who stay more than one night they have local specialties cooked at you table. On the first night it was abalone and on the second it was beef and onions. We got a real kick out of all the apple juices and products available (Aomori is known for its apples).
