Experience culture authentically with a stay at this traditional Japanese-style accommodation. Sleep on the floor (on a futon roll) in a room furnished with tatami flooring and sliding doors. Guests can often expect access to a communal bath plus a complimentary Japanese garment called a yukata.
Hotel was clean and rooms are rather spacious. The location is convenient for a lot of the shopping areas and there is an attached car park that costs only 1000 yen per day. Connecting bridge is on lvl 3 of the car park. There is also a fantastic ramen place just round the corner. There is also a tablet in each room with which you can view the congestion in the facilities such as laundry and onsen.
Hotel is in a decent location - about 1km walk from Asahikawa station. It is a quiet area too. Staff are friendly and helpful and they provide a lot of free amenities for guests too. Free corn tea in the afternoon and evenings and free coffee in the morning.
Although we did not use the onsen, we noticed it was popular with many of the guests in the hotel.

I had such an amazing stay at Mimatsuso Ryokan! The ryokan was spotless and well located, and it was so nice to stay in a traditional Japanese house, with a traditional bathroom (with a bath to relax in), a yukata to put on after showering, and a delicious Japanese breakfast! (There are also signs in the ryokan saying that you can try on a kimono for free). The staff were extremely welcoming and made me feel at home. I’m sad I was only here one night but I’ll definitely stay here again when I’m back in Asahikawa!
Location couldn't be better - directly next to the train station, shops and eateries very close. Room was very cosy and clean, the breakfast was an amazing selection and the onsen (hot spring) was delightful.
Great amenities, there were a lot of areas to explore in the Ryokan and it was kept very clean. They have a DDR machine (note the opening hours though) and a manga shelf (which is cool even if we couldn't read Japanese). The futon and chairs are comfortable and the rooms are gorgeous. The onsen has some unique baths, and an outdoor pool area looking out to the city. The staff are very nice, note also they only speak Japanese, and I got the impression this is a stay frequented more by locals than tourists.
This traditional Japanese boarding house/inn is in the middle of Asahikawa, only a few minutes' walk from the train station. By "traditional" I mean you will sleep on a futon on a tatami mat floor and there are no chairs anywhere (floor cushions instead). It's great.
Traditional Japanese tatami rooms with separate lounge room and sleeping room.
Toilet and basin on same floor and proper Japanese bathroom with stools, basin and hand shower and soaking bath on the ground level.
Welcome drinks on arrival.
Rooms were comfortable, cosy and warm. A genuine ryokan experience.
