Since 1494, the Asaba family has been welcoming guests to their [esteemed namesake ryokan](https://www.asaba-ryokan.com/) in Shuzenji, a hot spring town founded more than a millennium ago by Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi. A member of Relais & Châteaux, this intimate inn has 12 traditional guest rooms with tatami mat flooring, each overlooking a tranquil pond, a bamboo forest, and a historic Noh stage still used for occasional performances. Meals are served in-room while guests relax in _yukata_ robes; a seasonal kaiseki dinner might feature black rice sushi with anago eel, corn tempura, and locally grown muskmelon. A traditional Japanese breakfast is also included. Every room has its own private onsen bath—just be sure to request a Western-style bed if preferred.
