Very traditional Japanese Onsen hotel, enriched with lots of traditional Paintings, decorations and calligraphy. It is built within a valley and quiet garden, and my rooms are facing the garden with colorful marple leaves during the late autumn. They served very nice and well presented traditional Japanese foods in the evening and with an English speaking lady serving me with introductions of each kinds of food they served. It’s a very good experience, really enjoying the Japanese cuisine and their hospitality.

The town seems to be a ghost town, and the ghosts can't be seen during the day. But this hotel is great, there is no bad service, dinner is also absolutely, thank you very much for the Chinese girl in the restaurant, and the front desk brother who can't speak English. Although I didn't see the scenery here in the early winter, I didn't regret coming!
This is a hotel where famous people such as Einstein stayed in the last century. There is a history gallery and museum in the hotel. It is clean and the service is very good. They will personally lead guests to the door of the room. The room is relatively large compared to Japanese hotels. However, the disadvantage is that the facilities are relatively old, with a small TV and two small beds, and there is no socket next to the bed, so you can only charge on the table. It is suitable for a short experience of one or two days, not for long-term stay, but no one comes to Nikko for a long time.
The hotel is great! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with many facilities like karaoke, a game center, and more. I visited with my family, a total of 14 people, and they were able to arrange a private room for us for both dinner and breakfast. Both meals were buffet-style and absolutely delicious.
The onsen experience was wonderful, and the view from the onsen was fantastic, with a beautiful view of the Kinugawa River.
However, there was one issue: when we checked in, the reception took our passports for photocopying. Unfortunately, they missed returning one of the passports to us. It wasn’t until after we checked out and reached our next stop that we realized one passport was missing. We had to go back to the hotel to take it.
Despite this, the overall experience was great, and I would still recommend the hotel.
The bath was a little lukewarm, but it was well equipped with a large bath and a medium bath with a nice sulfur scent.
Dinner was mainly domestic beef sukiyaki, and there was a lot of variety, and it was both fun and delicious. Breakfast was a half-buffet, and I was satisfied with both Japanese and Western food.
Everything was great! We lived here for three days in April 2024. The hosts are very friendly and attentive. Breakfast and dinner were very tasty and large, so during the day we didn’t even want to have lunch while walking. Everything in the room is clean and tidy. The place is quiet and beautiful. Nearby there is a large supermarket with everything you need. The bus stop to the waterfalls and lake is also very close. There is also a public onsen nearby, we had a good time there too. In general, we really liked everything! Thank you!
The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the view was great. The free cocktail and coffee services in the lobby were nice, as well as the free drink bar (including one beer per person) near the entrance to the hot spring. The paid massage service was also good. The meals were decent, especially the grilled beef, which simply melted in my mouth. The restaurant staff welcomed us warmly and provided friendly service.
Cons: The variety of hot springs was lacking, and the view from the hot springs was almost blocked, which was disappointing. The lockers for valuables used combination dials, and foreign guests often didn’t know how to use them, locking their room keys inside and struggling to reopen them. This was a major inconvenience. They should switch to a key-and-wristband system like other onsen hotels.
The room itself felt like an old, once-grand mansion that had seen better days. The furniture had many scratches, and the surfaces were worn and peeling. It made me think it must have been impressive in the past. Still, the room was definitely more spacious compared to other hotels.
The Kinugawa Golden Valley Hotel includes breakfast and dinner. It is very cost-effective. I like the grapefruit wine here. The environment is also very elegant. The whole service is convenient, the transportation is convenient, and the friend introduces it.
I went to Yumoto for hiking and found this wonderful place. The staffs are very helpful. Although, they cannot fully communicate in English. They are trying their best to make sure my stay is the best experience I have.
Room is clean and has no AC.
Breakfast and dinner are traditional Japanese course and I love them.
About Onsen, it might not be in the best condition but it is good enough.
If I have a chance to return to Nikko, I will stay at this place again.
Very Good

GGuest UserWent for work, staff wasn’t the nicest but were accommodating enough - the night staff was a little rude, but the morning staff the next day was kind enough. I had time to kill in the lobby, where there were free massage chairs, though they were a little beaten up.
There were food and drink dispensers as well as a hot water heater and microwave for use. There are also public onsen style baths that I did not take advantage of, but they had many selections.
The room I stayed in was nothing special, but was fine for the night I was staying. The location is not great but not terrible, as there is a supermarket nearby open until midnight
My biggest piece of advice would be to rent a car if you are staying here; I took a cab then walked to the station the next day after my business in the area was done
LLeoThis appears to be a new hotel only 11 minutes walk from the train station. It was probably the tallest building in town. The room was very clean as well as the facilities. We arrived at 2:00 and were hoping they would let us check in early but we could only check in, but had to wait until 3:00 to go to the room. They made others wait as well. They did have free alcohol from 6:00-9:00pm in the lobby. The breakfast was okay but not much variety. The room was nice, but probably the smallest I have stayed in while in Japan. It was a quick train ride to Ashikaga Flower Park which was nice since that was the reason we came here. The bed wasn’t soft but it wasn’t terribly hard either. Over all, a decent place to stay except for the size of the room.

KKongkongwukongkongAn old hot spring hotel! Breakfast and dinner are really cost-effective! The food is delicious, from fish to small pots! Appetizer strawberry wine, hot tea and dessert after dinner! The hot spring is also quite good. We are the family of four adults with children. It is a very satisfying stay experience! I have lived in a lot of expensive places before, but it feels similar. Cost-effective leverage, praise!

親親愛的彤彤We traveled to Nikko with our family. We found this B&B very friendly. We ordered dinner and breakfast, which were very delicious. The staff was very considerate. Although the room was on the first floor, the staff helped carry the suitcase to the door of the room. It was facing the sea view and very quiet at night. If I come to Nikko again, I will stay one more night.
GGuest UserAmazing experience out in the woods. Perfect for families and couples as you can go into onsen together. Women typically wear a towel in the mixed onsen, while men use a small towel for modesty while walking between baths. Lunch is available in the main hall. Stunning breakfast and dinner in dining room. Waterfall right next to the outdoor baths, great view.
