The staffwas friendly and accommodating. Talking on the phone was difficult due to language barrier, but there were a couple English speakers on staff that were able to assist us. The location was perfect. The property is on a cliff overlooking the lake and theres a suspension bridge behind it. Mountain views everywhere. Breakfast was good. I loved our room. It was a little warm, but they were able to give us fans for the room. THE ONSENS WERE AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! If you have tattoos, either cover them or reserve a private onsen.

The staff was good. Check in was easy. We loved the traditional Japanese room. It was large and the views were incredible. Location was just what we were looking for. It is an older hotel and the bathroom smelled a bit old. We would return!

Great onsen and service

The hotel is quite retro, think faded grandeur. The staff were very helpful and there is a free shuttle bus to the train station you can book which is very welcome with all the bags. We stayed in the Japanese room and the staff came to lay out the beds beautifully whilst we were dining. The big plus for this hotel is the onsen and outdoor foot bath cafe with a view. We went on a busy weekend but there was plenty of space and everyone was very friendly to me and my daughter. We had half board and this was welcome after nearly 2 weeks of finding restaurants every meal time. It was a buffet style with lots of choice though it was the same foods Over 3 nights we stayed. The breakfast also gave a good selection. They had special kids area for food though my kids loved from all areas. If your plans are centred around Nikko then perhaps consider hiring a car which we did one day by the train station.

Decent Experience

Over the food was nice, with great variety. The washroom has a sew smell. I booked the stay for a birthday and was disappointed they were do not have any special accommodation available even though I was willing to pay extra for. The onsen was only so-so.

This is our second stay at this hotel. It has fantastic onsens, great Japanese buffet, and the rooms are large and comfortable. Kinu-Tateiwa Otsuribashi, a famous suspension bridge, is right behind the hotel that leads to great sceneries. Hotel is approximately 12 min walk to Kinugawaonsen Station, and offers shuttle bus in the morning to the station by request. Next time we visit Nikko, we definitely go to this hotel again!

Book the Presidential Suite

Loved our stay in the presidential suite! The private onsen on the rooftop balcony was incredible. Room was very spacious and comfortable. Price was great for this room! English was a bit tough but front desk was very helpful. Ate the included traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast for only 1 out of our 2 nights there. You’ll need to be adventurous for those meals! There’s also a great ramen and burger walking spot nearby for a less adventurous meal. The public onsen was gorgeous and not crowded mid-afternoon. We both have a couple tattoos and were okay to enter, and could also use a towel to cover if needed. Booked a couples massage and facial, massage was lymphatic drainage and helped reduce swelling for all those Japanese beers and eats when down in Tokyo. Suspension bridge near the hotel was fun to explore and easy access to a waterfall view. Foot bath at the attached restaurant with a beer was great! Our room shower didn’t work during peak onsen hours and was very outdated. Overall would come here if you’re looking for a remote experience in Japan off the beaten path. Get the presidential suite, you won’t regret it!

Lovely place to stay

Very friendly and helpful staff who spoke English well! Lots of amenities and loved the private onsens. The building was a little outdated and the air conditioner didnt work well so we couldnt get rid of the slight smell the room had. Overall with their breakfasts and views too, I'd come back.
