미마쓰소우 료칸

I stayed here during my summer trip to Hokkaido, and it was honestly the best stay I've had in Japan. What made this experience was the staff and the atmosphere. The staff (I believe a family?) who run this place do so with great care and attention to detail. When I checked in, they gave me a tour of the facilities, a printout of Asahikawa and sights to visit, and after some time to settle, a lady came by to give me a cold cup of tea and some snacks. When I went out the next morning, the man who gave me the tour came rushing to the door when he heard me leaving just to wish me off. It was an incredibly nice stay, and I enjoyed having a full room to myself as well as access to the hot bath. Would absolutely come here again if I'm in the area.

나에게 일본 조부모님이 있다면 이런곳에서 살았을까? 한 겨울이였지만 뎁혀둔 이부자리는 따듯했고 방을 2개 사용할 수 있어서 매우 좋았습니다~

Awesome experience better than expected amazing breakfast

The location was perfect for easy transport and walkability, making it convenient to explore the area. Room is spacious and clean. The owner of ryokan is friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Facilities were good but could use slight improvement such as increase number of bathroom as there is only one bathroom available. Overall, excellent value for money and highly recommended.

This was easily one of our favorite inns. Stay here if you're looking for an authentic Japanese homestay experience. The inn itself is quaint and old-fashioned, having been in operation since the 1950s, yet it is impeccably clean. The 78-year-old owner attends to every detail—from the bath temperatures and the phenomenal traditional breakfast to the welcome and farewell gifts, the nostalgic décor, and even the different slippers to wear throughout the inn. He is remarkably warm and hospitable, always in good spirits, and seems like someone with countless wonderful stories to tell. Unfortunately, our limited Japanese meant we could only chat a little. The inn also has a couple of parking lots available for guests, which was very convenient. The innkeeper's cat is absolutely adorable, though quite shy.
