Minshuku Asogen

The onsen bathroom was spacious, bigger than some of the private ones we paid at other places. Room was big too. Location was perfect. There is a very very nice dinner place Sakamoto nearby, that serves very exquisite and yummy food with price extremely affordable.

Nice clean ryokan with kind staff. The room had extra blankets and came with fresh towels, toiletries and gowns for going to the communal bathing area. The onsen bath areas were clean and very relaxing. A good place to base yourself if you have a car (would be difficult by public transport)

The staff is very friendly. They also tried to help me make a dining booking nearby as dining is not available at the stay during our stay. Unfortunately, we are not able to reach Aso in time for dinner due to bad weather and road conditions. We will like to thank the staff, once again for the help! Our room is very spacious with a space for futons and a space for Kotatsu. Kotatsu is table was equipped with heated blanket. Nice and comfortable for the cold weather/temperature during our stay. We had a private toilet in the room while showering took place at the shared private bathroom (2-4 pax). The bathroom is located just outside the Minshuku main building. We love that it is a private onsen since some of us are not comfortable to be at a public onsen. There is a common area on both first floor and second floor. Vending machines and a washing machine is located on the second floor. The traditional Japanese breakfast was good. The food was all set up and ready when we entered. We took the earliest timeslot. Most of the shops, except some eateries/restaurants, nearby closed after 6-7pm. There are convenient stores and a large supermarket, which is a short drive away. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much. We will definitely book this place again when we return to stay in Aso.

Beautiful place! We had a lovely room in Japanese traditionnal style, with everything you need. The bathroom area was very cleaned! We had accessed to a private onsen, which was so great!! In the morning, we had a perfect breakfast! I am gluten free and they took it so seriously, I was really grateful! We would come back to this place if we come back to Aso one day!

Room is more spacious than I thought. Meals are fabulous and fresh. They serves wagyu yakiniku for dinner and comes with various side dishes. The outdoor bath was not as bad as I thought, knowing that there’s only 4 bath located outdoor, we avoided the peak hour and it works fine for my family. The temperature and size of the onsen is very comfortable. Plenty free parking available for those driving and there is a convenience store within walking distance.
