Ryokan Asunaro is located about 10 minutes easy walk from the station and is very convenient for all the local sites. While it is not in an older part of the town, the building is a beautifully restored and decorated traditional ryokan. Our room was a spacious Japanese style room with tatami, futons and a sitting area with beautiful wooden furniture from the region. We enjoyed the Japanese breakfasts each morning of our 3 night stay, opting for these rather than the Western style one as they were so delicious. We had a kaiseki dinner in the ryokan one night which was spectacular - around 10 courses all served in beautiful tableware. On another night we went to Kamamura restaurant, a small family run restaurant recommended and booked by the ryokan, for a wonderful meal. Yukiko, one of the managers, spoke excellent English and was so helpful with a number of our travel glitches responding promptly to emails.
