XO Private - The Luxury Travel Collection
The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

Located at the corner of the town of Shizuoka-Ken, Asaba is a cosy haven for those who prefer things classy yet simple. Just a few minutes’ distance away from the famous river Katsura, the hotel maintains the very same tranquillity and pristine elegance that the river is known for.

The hotel Asaba is a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary values. As far as the setting is concerned, the place is adorned with ‘tatami’ styled minimal furniture and decorations without being too ornate. However, the natural surroundings and the lush courtyard facing every room of the hotel never let its aesthetic quotient dip.

The private golf course and the outdoor ‘onsen’ allows for a supremely comfortable stay at the hotel. A pond located right at the centre of the hotel stages a traditional Japanese drama on a regular basis, which makes for a unique experience. The restaurant at Asaba serves traditional Japanese delights together with the local cuisine of Shizuoka-Ken.
