Hotel Hot Springs di Nikko

Burası cennetten bir köşe gibi. Otelin sahibi Masao ve eşi çok sıcak ve yardımsever insanlar. Odalar çok temiz ve japon tarzında. Gelmeden önce ryokan kültürünü araştırmanızı öneririm. Nehrin kenarında kendine has kaplıcası ve bu kaplıca hem kapalı hem de açık olarak 2 farklı şekilde hizmet veriyor. İkisini fr kullanabiliyorsunuz. Tokyoda hızlıca geçirdiğim 3 günden sonra gerçekten dinlendirici ve ferahlatıcı bir yer oldu. Masao ile saatlerce yaptığım sohbet de çok aydınlatıcı oldu. Üstelik çok güzel sake ve şarapları var. Masao ve ailesine çok teşekkür ederim. Ayrıca bu otel pride of orange animesindeki ana karakterin evi olarak resmedilmiş. Otelin bazı noktalarını animede görebiliyorsunuz. Ben bunu buraya gelinceye kadar bilmiyordum. Fakat çok güzel bir tesadüf oldu. Şehre biraz uzak olduğunu unutmamalısınız. Şehre gitmek istiyorsanız araba kiralamanız daha mantıklı olacaktır.

Pretty nice overall. I stayed for 3 nights. The staffs are really nice and helpful. The room is spacious and has a really nice view, compared to the same price hotel near the lake. Just some comments on the meals. The hotel offers breakfast and dinner for my booking. Breakfast (mini buffet liked) options stay the same, I mean absolute same. For dinner, the first night is amazing, with chicken hotpot, steak, appetizer and dessert. Second night, beef Sukiyaki (kind of like beef hotpot with a sweet soup/sause and rawegg), appetizer and dessert. Kind of okay, I would say as I was hoping to see something more differerent and, to me, it is a bit like a downgraded version (not by far tho) of the first night. And the third night, beef Shabu-shabu (water based hotpot), appetizer and dessert. Quite disappointing as I would refer it more or less the same as second night maindish Sukiyaki but taking away the raw egg and sweet soup based. I would recommend staying for 2 nights max if you don't want to have hotpot everynight About the Onsen, there are one indoor and outdoor onsen each for men and women. Not too big, but the size is enough as there are not too many people using that during my stay. I am not sure if it is normal for Japanese Onsen but I see there is quite a number of materials in the outdoor onsen. I cannot tell what those are, kind of like dead skin to me tho. Not too comfortable with it (although I went there three times during my stay).

A nice hotel just by the lake. The onsen had a beautiful momiji tree and the view from the room was pretty good. We enjoyed our food and had a good rest overall.

Nestled along the shores of Lake Chuzenji, some rooms offer breathtaking views of the lake and the majestic Mount Nantai. The Japanese-style rooms are spacious, featuring tatami flooring, scenic areas, and comfortable beds, perfect for enjoying the beautiful autumn leaves! A special thanks to the two staff members, Lisz and Yuka, for their excellent service and fluent English in introducing each dish. They were truly professional!

I spent at Kaniyu 2 nights and absolutely loved it! Upon my arrival, there was an English-speaking staff member at the reception, Mr. Tamaki, who kindly upgraded my room for free - thank you so much for that! The room was spacious and clean. It was a bit cool inside, but the heating system worked really well and warmed up the room quickly; the controls were very simple and convenient to use. The futon was comfortable, the blanket was warm and cozy, and although the pillow was a bit too firm for me, I slept just fine without it. The room was equipped with everything needed: towels, yukata for changing, bathroom amenities, and more. Both breakfast and dinner were made from a variety of fresh ingredients — everything was delicious and filling. I tried many dishes for the first time and really enjoyed them! The stuff was very nice and friendly, a canteen lady who helped me to take a picture was very kind! The onsen was absolutely amazing. The hot, milky water was incredibly relaxing (not that smelly for my taste), and the cool outdoor air felt refreshing. I visited it after sunset as well, and it was an unforgettable experience: chilling in hot springs while watching night sky and listening to forest sounds. --- To sum it up, if you're looking for a peaceful retreat off the beaten path and for affordable price, then this place is absolute gem~ P.S. l was mesmerized by the road trip to the Kaniyu itself: mountains, rivers and lakes, a troop of monkeys on the side of the road, tunnels, a hairpin turns and so on.

酒店沒有太大問題很傳統的日式旅館，服務沒有話説的。大堂提供的免費酒水飲料小食，足夠吃飽。唯一烏龍的地址定位問題，根據地址導航到是另外一個酒店，差一點沒有地方住。圖片是二家酒店的距離，實際這家地址應該是温泉大原1057，不是温泉大原1060，希望和店家再核實一下。

挺有特色的温泉酒店。訂的房間是和室，純榻榻米，房間內沒有浴室，這點請特別注意。洗澡要去酒店單獨一棟温泉浴場，日式傳統那種，分男女，脱光沖洗乾淨才能進入温泉。體感見仁見智，日本人很喜歡，呵呵 酒店包早餐和晚餐，質量意外的高，而且每天的菜單都不同，挺驚喜的。 服務不用説，日式貼心，員工英語也還行，交流沒問題。 總而言之挺有特色的酒店，還是值得體驗一把

Pengalaman indah yang saya akan cadangkan kepada semua orang. Ya, hotel itu sendiri telah melihat hari terbaiknya, tetapi ini tidak menjejaskan perkhidmatan, suasana, makan malam yang sangat baik (dan sarapan pagi yang sama indahnya). Saya sangat menyukai bilik itu, pemandangannya sangat cantik, tidur di atas futon adalah luar biasa, tetapi selesa. Onsen (yang berada di luar) sememangnya hebat. Sangat bagus, santai, bagus. Cara terbaik untuk menamatkan sehari selepas melawat Nikko. Dan, mungkin, salah satu tanggapan paling hangat tentang Jepun ialah (saya menulis semasa jejak masih segar, kerana perjalanan belum berakhir).

I really enjoyed my 2-night stay in the dorm room here! I loved crossing the street and having views of Lake Chuzenji and the lakeshore promenade and being within close walking distance of the Shinto shrine where the Mt Nantai hike begins and about a 15-20 min walk of Kegon Falls. There aren’t many restaurant options in Oku Nikko, but I did manage to have dinner at Masuya and Pension Friendly which were very close to the hotel. More places are open for lunch but some are closed on certain days. I didn’t get the breakfast or dinner package because it seemed a little overpriced. But the à la carte dishes of pasta were reasonably priced at 1,500 a plate. There’s a lounge on the third floor that’s open from 6-9 am and from 3-10 pm where you can get coffee and a wide selection of teas (including herbal ones) and in the evening, there’s also juice and sangria. The onsen facilities are quite nice but the outdoor space is not as big as I thought from the photos. The outdoor bath water temperature was also much hotter the first night compared to the second, not sure why. Overall, great value for the facilities. There’s even coin laundry machines on the second floor and a common space for eating your own food equipped with a microwave and hot water dispenser. I also appreciated the free shuttle service from Tobu Nikko station. It runs only once a day, but the timing worked well for me. l was picked up at 3 pm to go to the hotel and then we left at 11:10 am (checkout is at 10 am but there’s luggage storage available). You do have to contact the hotel to reserve ahead of time because space can be limited (I emailed them). Although there isn’t really a reception, there’s usually some staff around and each person was very friendly! Momo was especially kind and helpful! I’d definitely recommend this hotel because it’s affordable and perfect for visiting Kegon Falls, Lake Chuzenji and Ryuzu falls. I took the short bus ride to Ryuzu falls and hiked from there to Yudaki Cascades and walked around Lake Yunoko. For more information on hiking and sightseeing, the visitor information centre was handy and had lots of maps. I bought a bear bell there for my hiking.

The exterior of the hotel is pretty, but the interior of the hotel is dated and needs a bit of updating. There were parts of the hotel that were completely shut down (maybe there are saving up enough money to one day renovate). However the facilities and rooms are well maintained and the onsens are beautiful and peaceful. There are 2 main onsens, that are separated by men and women. Each day the onsens are switched, in the morning you will go to one, and in the evening before dinner you can experience the other onsen. Onsite there is a really nice restaurant and gift shop that featured local products at reasonable prices. There is a 24 hour coffee/tea station that is free to use. It's a short 10 minute walk from Kinugawa Onsen Station. When you arrive they provide you a yukata to wear while you are staying at the hotel. The rooms are spacious with options for a western bed or japanese style (sleeping on the floor). We opted for the western bed to be higher off the ground as we thought it would be colder to sleep on the ground. Although the rooms are very well heated and was a bit too warm, that we needed to open the window to cool the room down. The rooms have nice views of the countryside. They provide a pitcher of ice water in the room and you can go to the front desk to refill with ice if more is needed. The bathroom is quite large and has both a shower and toilet in a separate room of the bathroom; although we mostly bathed in the onsen. There is a 7-eleven nearby that was open 24 hours, but otherwise there isn't much else around the hotel. Also the town of Kinugawa Onsen closes quite early, around 8pm it's quite deserted. We were there at the end of November 2024, and it seemed that the hotel was mostly unoccupied, so we felt like we had the place to ourselves. It was a very nice one night stay.
