Hotel berhampiran Oiwake Jizo, Nikko

A perfect location for exploring Nikko and the surrounding area. Although from the outside it looks quite standard modern, internally it is just about perfect. Dinner, for which we dressed in local attire, was served in a private dining room. It consisted of over 15 small plates of food, all superbly presented and very tasty. Incredible they use a different plate design for each dish. The staff were very helpful. Well worth a visit.

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.

Currently staying here for 2 nights and this is night 1. Location is nice and scenic.The room and view is pretty HOWEVER our room smells and smells bad. Not sure if they gave us a smoking room (which I did not request) or the room just smells. Asked a staff person and either they didn't understand me or it really is a smoking room. Staff tries with english but ive not had much luck. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash is little packets in the lobby which i had to search and find. I went down to the desk to ask about shampoo and the older gentleman ducked into the room behind the desk and didnt come back out because he spoke no english. Also, wifi is pretty much nonexistent in room 1503. The buffet option is kind of eh, not really as many options as the pics make it look like and it's not very warm but it was edible i guess but over priced. I wouldn't stay here again if I'm in the area and would suggest trying a different hotel in the area. Then starting at 8am either they are renovating a room near us or there's no sound proofing between rooms judging by the banging noises. It would be a nice romantic place to spend a night maybe? If there are unsmelly rooms. Almost every other person staying here we've seen has been elderly (60-70+) and that should kinda tell you the type of person this caters to. I've stayed in worse.

如果你想有一個清静的地方享受環境及温泉， 就是這裡。 房間優雅，用膳的地方亦都是一個個私人房間。 服務員有來自不同亞州國家的青少年， 他們都很熱心服務。 多謝女主管在我生日用晚膳時登意到來祝賀。 If you want a quiet place to enjoy the scenary, onsen and food, this is the place. The rooms are elegant and you have your own room for meal. There are many young employees (trainees) from different asian countries, so it may be a bit easier to communicate in English. They are all devoted to their work. Thank you for the supervisor to come to the dinning room and wish me to have a happy birthday.

有名な日光東照宮や中禅寺湖への観光を考える中で、このホテルを選びました。ロビーに飲み物等があり、自由にとることができました。また、バイキング形式の食事（夕食・朝食）の種類が多く、味も良く、その場で手作りしてくださるコーナーも複数あって満喫することができました。男性の露天風呂は大きく、数種類ありました。朝に入ると、静寂の中でゆったりとお湯につかることができ癒されました。ホテルは古めでしたが、部屋は特別室のためか和室と洋室、ベットルールと広く寛げました。ホテルのある鬼怒川の地域は、元気がなく寂しい雰囲気に感じましたが、田舎を満喫できました。

服務：非常好，餐廳裏一個奶奶還給我推薦車站的豆皮來着。 温泉：由於衹有16個房間所以我去兩次都是包場。外面的休息室還有免費的按摩椅。 早餐和晚餐都很好吃。（餐廳的露台風景非常好，裏有躺椅吹着風拿一杯快樂水可以躺一下午） 下面視頻是從房間陽台拍的。

Style. Simple clean modern design Setting. Japan countryside, off the beaten path near highway, good for short overnight stay if on a longer drive Explore. Farm park. Outdoor hot springs across street @ the hotel. Convenience store style snacks available in the lobby. There are no restaurants in the hotel. Basic amenities so no hair conditioner, no bathtub. Nice common area/lobby. Helpful English speaking staff (Ayumi Osawa) that was super responsive via email. Rooms. I had a small clean room facing the trees on the 3rd floor, was here after a red-eye flight so checked in at 11 am and checked out 3 hours later, was happy with the experience Food & drinks. Looked like there were some restaurants nearby. Best to have car to get around Prices. Good /great value at US$115 Rating. 4/5

Pension was cosy, clean and well equipped. Bath includes onsen. breakfast and dinner can be arranged with the host for a reasonable charge. It is quite a walk from the bus stop with rather uneven road if you have wheeled luggage. Owner was nice to give us a ride out (at her convenience) to the bus stop. View from room of Mt nantai is lovely and it is convenient to visit the waterfalls...especially yudaki which was the best in my opinion.

コロナ禍、本当に久々の外出ということもあり、少し高めでもと露天風呂付きのお部屋を予約しました。 露天風呂→こちらの温泉が皆さん良いということでしたのでお部屋の露天風呂にも当然温泉と思いましたが普通の水道水でした。残念…。勿論、網戸などない場所なのでバスタブは虫だらけでした。 ベッド→という名で掲載されていますが、お部屋の角が少し高くなっているところにせんべい布団が引いてあるだけです。硬すぎて身体が痛くて良く眠れませんでした。 寝具？シーツ？もお洗濯の生乾き臭で残念です。 コロナ禍で仕方ないとは思いますが、連泊してもタオルの交換があるくらいで、ベッドメイキングのし直しはなかったです。 お部屋はすごく寒かったです。 料理→季節や地元のものを期待していたのに、カニとエビばかり。カニは冷凍してあったものと想像します、ですので、変な硬さがあり身もほぐせず半分も食べずに諦めました。アレルギーの確認がないので、甲殻類アレルギーの方はお料理絶対確認したほうが良いと思います…。 食品テーブル調理用の燃料が小さくて、しゃぶしゃぶ、豚肉が出てきたのですが途中で火が消えて諦めました。あと5分くらい調理出来るサイズだとよいのでは？ 朝食は和風です。コロナ禍ということもあり、バイキングは難しいと思いますがせめて和朝食か洋朝食くらいは選べると良いのにと思います。 そして、フロントの男性スタッフがフロントらしくない所作と思いました。わたしたちの名前を予約リストから見つけられず、本当にうちで予約していますか？と聞かれました。女性は丁寧でした。 いうことで、コロナ禍なのでサービスが制限されるのは仕方ないと思いますが値段とサービス内容が合っていないと思いました。

We picked the best time to go. The autumn colours were a cascade of vibrant brilliance and colour. We went here for hiking and sightseeing from a two hour train ride from Tokyo. We took an hour and a half bus from Nikko. You could buy a three day pass for 3,500 yen and stop offat different places on the way. Buses ran everyhalf hour mostly and were easy to navigate. The hotel is a traditional style accommodation. There was a group of four of us who slept in the 1 room. It was tight but we were rarely in the room and it was only an overnight so it was okay. 37,000 yen for the four of us. It was clean and warm when we arrived and very warm for the whole night. English is not great but they don't hold it against you and we had google translate. The onsen was amazing at an extra 600 yen tax. There are two. The sulphur smell was pretty strong throughout the night which was probably the only downside but I'm sure it would be the same in all the hotels in that area. We did have to get them to organise extra bedding which they were happy to do but you need to be very specific in what your needs were and be able to explain it. Ours came with a breakfast option at an extra 1000 yen each which was a traditional Japanese style and well worth it. There are no shops around the area so take your own snacks. No dinner options in the immediate area. Although you could probably do a 30 minute walk to the Falls where they may have some food options or there might be more options as borders open up. The lake walk is about 6k and very easy. Not really pram friendly. Great place to stay if you want to be away from the crowds of Nikko. The Falls walk is about 30 to 40 minutes and there is food available but I'm not sure when it opens or closes, a great place to have an ice cream and toilets. There are other hikes in the area but we ran out of time.
