"Great place for the price. Onsen was lovely and staff was super friendly. Breakfast seemed expensive so we didn't eat there. Room cleaned thoroughly. "
"I think very few gaijin go this far out. Some of the communication was difficult but the staff tried really hard and we enjoyed the stay
Hard to navigate getting to and from major stations and it snowed one day at end of March
Overall I’m glad we did it for the experience to be immersed in Japanese culture.

"Quiet and relaxing onsen inn, an economic choice as well. A short walk up from a bus stop, with a lovely view of the lake. Great for a relaxing get away."

Lovely small town with some cute shops and great food! Very walkable and close to plenty of shrines. I highly recommend getting the bus pass (you can get it thru the Nikko travel office at train station)

Much more to do here than we had thought! Fun outdoors activities, historical landmarks, fun shopping! Probably better in the summer (we were here in late March and it snowed).

The bus is about 45 mins from Nikko station to Chuzenji. It's a windy road, but pretty. Kinugawa isn't too far and you can go rafting or canyoning.

While Nikko and the surrounding area is known for extended hiking trails, we only stayed one night so we did not experience this. Things are pretty quiet in Nikko after 8:00pm so consider that if you're arriving late.

I recommend having a car for Nikko. Things are spread out. The mass transit isn't that frequent. It is a beautiful area but having a car would make it an easier trip.

Get 4 day wider area travel pass as its much better value than 2 day world heritage pass if you want to see waterfalls etc - and we were only there for c 44hrs

We were able to walk to the world heritage area and see all the amazing history and buildings. A must do from Tokyo.
"I should have booked 2 nights to really enjoy! Everything was excellent. My 1st time in Japan and this was lovely. Staff checking me in spoke great English.
I booked a huge tatami room and had a balcony overlooking the river. There is a turn-down service while you’re at dinner.
Buffet was fantastic and the whiskey was not watered down at all! Definitely try the sesame ball things for desert.
There are clear English instructions on how to use the onsens and an app that shows you how crowded they are in real time. Wonderfully comfortable sleeping here. I’d love to stay 2 nights in the future, maybe check out Edo Wonderland. The hotel gift shop is a good place to buy nicer, regional souvenirs.
Excellent customer service: 100 out of 10.
Just watch a couple videos on how the limited express trains work & the Kinugawa hotel busses & you’ll be fine. "
"Historic hotel with amazing views and a great location. Would recommend to anyone staying in Nikko. Don’t miss the shrine that’s just 15 minutes away."
