Hotel berhampiran Inari Shrine, Nikko

Arrived at Hotel and parked the rental car in the car park for free. Staff were very efficient and check in was very quick. Japan is still very Covid conscious and masks are worn everywhere. We were advised that there were were facilities for making Tea/ coffee in the room and that we should take any provisions required (for free) from the table arranged in the lobby i.e. tea / coffee / toothbrushes..etc. Room was lovely and spacious with a comfortable bed and lovely en-suite- lovely deep bath (shower fixings would be low for taller individuals). They had an evening bar and Onsen (natural hot water spring separate for males and females). They had a restaurant that provided an extensive buffet menu for breakfast - very tasty, and they had a select menu for the evenings and what we tried was very tasty also. The staff in the Hotel and restaurant were most friendly and encouraged me when I attempted some Japanese words. A very lovely start to our holiday in Japan - Thank you for your hospitality, we would happily stay here again

This place was a mix of good and bad. Our room had a good view and the location was excellent to the train station. It had a microwave which was good as restaurants close up early here. The bad, cleanliness not up to Japanese standards. Had a balcony, but you couldn't get out to it. We arrived before check in time and got charged 1000 yen to leave our luggage till check in time. A bit pricey for what it was.

Stayed 3 nights in small double room with attached bathroom Clean, comfortable and quiet if somewhat lacking in a friendly atmosphere. Close to the railway station and tourist information Centre. Note hotel is closed during the day and open at 3pm for check-in. You can leave bags in locker for 100 yen. Nice small onsen bath to relax after a day of sightseeing. Note the breakfast caters mainly to Japanese guests with no fresh food. I found it awful and resorted to the convenience store across the street.

Room is huge compared to most Japanese hotel rooms. Modern styling, particularly loved the layout of the room. Tv was a great size and quality but disappointedly didn’t have any smart tv apps you can log into. It does have movie and other satellite channels. Bed was huge and super comfortable, 2 pillows on each side and a good weight duvet. We stayed for 2 nights and loved our stay.

The hotel is more like a museum :). You can admire every room and every thing :) You will see a table lamp at the reception, which has been standing there since 1907, in the lobby you will see photographs of people who stayed at this hotel - Indira Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, Robert Koch, Edward Prince of Wales and many other. The restaurant has very beautiful dishes. And the table for dinner was set using 11 cutlery :) The staff is very attentive and polite. I would especially like to thank Sabita for her help. The room itself is fairly basic (but not modern) the beds are very comfortable and the bathroom has everything you need for a short stay. Rooms are not cleaned daily and towels are not changed unless specifically requested. The location of the hotel is very convenient, a three-minute walk from Nikko Park - UNESCO heritage. Currently, one wing of the hotel is being renovated.

This is more of an apartment building than a hotel. Room includes a kitchenette, couch, double bed and tatami area. A good basis for exploring the area. Room is quite large and has all the facilities to do you own cooking (including an electric bbq). Bed is comfortable. Private onsen on the balcony is a nice plus.

老酒店了，位置很贊，是離楯巖吊橋最近的酒店了，伴着吊橋的美景就在窗外，徒步10分鐘即可穿過吊橋抵達觀景台。房間很大，設施舊了點，但也夠乾淨適用。早晚自助餐品種挺豐富的。有送站免費巴士，步行也就10分鐘。温泉室內外都有，隔天男女互換，門口沒有冰牛奶。

This is my third trip/adventure to Japan. I would say as a solo traveler this has to be one of the very best places I have ever stayed in when travelling around Japan. I came to Nikko np to explore the vast array of hiking trails, all of which I did, had breathtaking views and a poetic, truly majestic Japanese feel to them. I rented a car from Nasushiobara (Shinkansen) and drove across to Kinugawa. On arrival I was greeted by a host of the hotel staff, welcoming me and helping me with parking and my bags. I checked in with ease and with some broken English and Japanese on my part was led to a beautiful traditional Japanese style room overlooking the river. The service throughout was world class and made me feel both very comfortable, at home, but also special. I stayed 3 nights with half board (breakfast and dinner), both truly amazing and served with grace and politeness. On the first evening’s dinner one of the serving staff took the time to speak with me and allowed me to share some of my recent experiences/photos etc whilst preparing dinner - this was most welcome, especially as I had been travelling alone for over a week. The location of the onsen hotel is about 60 mins drive to some of the most sought after walks in the np. Very easy to access by car and excellent roads. The accommodation itself is a mix between very traditional Japanese resort and original/boutique Ryokan. The private and public onsen’s are fantastic and a well deserved rest-bite after a long days hiking! Having been to some of the most popular ryokan’s in Japan; Iwaso, Claska etc, this came as a very nice surprise and at an affordable rate without any compromise. If in the area, I would highly recommend staying…

We were hosted by an elderly couple, and his family members. They were super cute, friendly and polite. It's like their small family business, ground floor was a western restaurant, second floor onwards were all the guest rooms. They know a bit of English, so the communication wise no issue at all. What we love about this stay is that other than the room with gorgeous lake view, the host was super helpful to allow us to store our luggage with them even way before our check-in timing. Furthermore he even offer to send us to the laundry shop, when we just casually ask him about the laundry. What actually surprised me the most, was that he even FETCH us from the laundry shop after we were done. Will definitely come back to this place again if I'm in Nikko! Thumbs up! Super host!! 😁

家族旅行で訪問。 部屋は狭い方のお部屋だったが『今回はグレードアップした』とフロントにオベッカを使われる。 古い外国人が好きそうな古民家+日本の山奥に伝わる伝説系の天狗や狸や風神雷神みたいなのが沢山あり旅館自体もやや薄暗いぼんやりとした雰囲気を出している。 部屋にトイレ、風呂は無い。 気をつけないといけないのが、お手洗いも水しか出ないし、蛇口から排水口が狭いので手を洗うが限界だろう。 共同トイレ、共同風呂というシステムで、1階にある共同お風呂は普通の銭湯くらいの広さで大きめの湯船ひとつのみ。露天はあるが5人くらいの広さかと。 共同風呂では洗体出来るが貸切風呂はそれができないので、マナーとしては共同風呂で頭と体を洗ってから貸切風呂が良いだろう。 こういったところから外国人観光客向けなのかなと思った。 食事はバイキングで幼児以下の子供向けの食べ物はほとんど無いのでファミリー利用の場合はそこそこ大人向けの食事が出来ない子供のために自前で持ってくか、鬼怒川のコンビニなどで食事を買っておく必要がある。 大人の食事は美味しいがなぜかスタッフが食事を急かす。朝はラストオーダー的な時間が過ぎると容赦なく食事が下げられていくので、早めに行く必要がある。あと、夕飯時は すぐお皿をとりにくるので鬱陶しさはある。 貸切風呂は3300円/1組を払うと24時間入り放題。６箇所あるのでだいたいどこかしら入れる。そしてリピーターのために貸切風呂は次回も無料になる。 以上を踏まえると、子供が小さいファミリーには全く向かない。せめて中学生くらいにはなってた方が良いだろう。 あとは夫婦のみでゆっくりしたい人、外国人観光客、カップル、あとは年配の女性だけの旅行者なら満足度はあるかなと思う。 個人的には部屋にトイレと風呂があればかなり良いところだと思うけど、何せ鬼怒川温泉駅前から車で約60分山登りするので結構大変だから、なかなか行くのは難しいと思う。 周辺は何もないが逆に空いてるので自然を散策したりするのは良いと思う。
