Beautiful Open Bath

I had an amazing experience at the beautiful open bath (hot spring). The ambiance was serene, and the view was stunning. I soaked in the water and felt all my stress melt away. It was definitely a highlight of my stay! The artistic decor around the bath area added to the relaxing atmosphere.

Delicious Japanese Cuisine

The meals at Sasara were simply fantastic! Both breakfast and dinner featured deliciously prepared dishes, and I was particularly impressed by the kaiseki dinner with famous Hida Beef. Each dish was beautifully presented and flavorful, making it a culinary delight!

Comfortable and Spacious Room

My room was just wonderful, spacious, and with a traditional Japanese wooden design. There was a lovely little dressing room that added to the comfort, and I appreciated how the staff transformed the seating area into futons while I was at dinner. It created a truly cozy environment for relaxation.

Private Onsen Experience

I loved having access to a private onsen in my room. It was very relaxing, and I enjoyed soaking in the warm water while watching the winter fireworks display from my window. The fully automated toilet was a quirky yet pleasant surprise, making my stay even more enjoyable!

Sasara is a cozy onsen ryokan with a quieter atmosphere compared to the larger hotels, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The rooms have a charming Japanese style and provide nice views, especially during the winter when fireworks can be seen. The dining, particularly dinner, was outstanding, though the amenities might not be as extensive as some might hope. While the service was generally nice, the lack of complimentary internet access was a downside.

This hotel captures the essence of traditional Japanese design with beautiful wooden interiors and artistic touches. The rotenburo in the room provided a wonderful experience, especially with a great view. While the service was attentive and the unique dining options were fantastic, the building did show its age. Overall, it offers good value for a serene escape, though it's not the most luxurious place around.
