Hot Springs Hotels in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan

The accommodation is excellent! It might be a bit far from the station, but the atmosphere is great, the floor heating is cozy, and it's very private. The facilities are fully equipped. We really love this brand.

It is very similar to Karuizawa's, the guest room is oversized, and the forest is outside the glass window, like living in a tree house. 🍣 Meal: Continuing FuFu tradition, fresh local ingredients, healthy and delicious. Japanese/Western style for breakfast, Kaiseki/Teppanyaki for dinner. ♨️ Hot spring: In addition to the private soup in the room, there is also a big hot spring! Men and women switch time-sharing, go at 9 o'clock in the evening, one person contracted the entire large bath, quiet enough to hear the wind. 💡 Service: When dining, you will take the initiative to ask about the itinerary, give route suggestions and practical tips, and be intimate and just right. [Location: Leaving the Wheel King Temple, Shenqiao, Dongzhao Palace are very close, within walking distance.

The environment is elegant, and I really liked the Western and Japanese style rooms. The spa was also very comfortable 😌... Breakfast is too early, 7:30 and 8:00 – I'm still half asleep! This is a vacation, not going to work. Can't the time be pushed back a bit? We booked dinner, but we arrived late at 7:50 PM, and dinner was gone. We had called them at 7:10 PM to let them know we were stuck in traffic, but the hotel said dinner was gone and wouldn't refund us 😏.

4.5 stars!  Property is older but extremely well maintained.  The corner western/Japanese rooms are spacious with two western beds and tatami area, single japanese bath and shower area and separate toilet area, mini fridge, tv, sitting area overlooking the river and table with four chairs as well as a massage chair!  Onsen area has both indoor and outdoor areas separate for men and women and a cold plunge as well as multiple hot baths.  Minus half a star for low staffing in the store/cafe areas (often no staff member to be found when kakigori desired), no in house lunch option and overly fatty meat on the 3rd night dinner (breakfast and dinner were LARGE and BEAUTIFUL but perhaps heavy on the yuba.  Also, shuttle to the train station is only at 10 and 11am and getting cabs is difficult.  However, would overwhelmingly recommend Nikko Senhime Monogatari!

This is a pure Japanese private bath. Please remove your shoes upon entering the hotel. Soaking in the valley stream feels wonderful. However, please note that only breakfast and dinner (traditional Japanese dishes) are provided. Lunch is optional. The train station is a 30-40 minute drive away. Don't expect too much from the traditional Japanese cuisine for dinner.

I had a truly wonderful day at this hotel on March 2, 2026. The front desk staff, Ms. Qing, was incredibly professional and multilingual. She explained the hotel's policies and information clearly and politely, making me feel like I had stepped into a five-star hotel. I also enjoyed both dinner and breakfast; the food was delicious and perfectly suited my taste. Ms. Qing also handled the restaurant service, and I was amazed at how she could manage so many tasks simultaneously while providing such excellent service. She was very attentive not only to me but also to other guests, and I was extremely satisfied. The hotel was very quiet, and it was a memorable and lovely stay. I would definitely like to return when I have the time.

This time was a family trip. We were really satisfied with both the hot springs and the food. The staff were also incredibly kind. They explained and recommended local attractions in great detail, which was a huge help. I'll definitely be back with friends.

There are shuttle buses from Tobu Nikko Station and Jr Nikko Station every hour. It feels quite convenient. It takes about 20 minutes to drive from the station to the hotel. The hotel is in the mountains, the environment and air are very good. Staying for 1 night and 2 nights, we took the shuttle bus at 4 o'clock and arrived at the hotel at around 5 o'clock. It was the second batch's turn for dinner at around 7 o'clock. We couldn't change the time, so we waited until we were hungry. Dinner is still very rich, with a variety of good dishes, and the steak is recommended. There are also a variety of alcoholic beverages. Breakfast was also good. The hot spring is on the top floor, the water is very good, and there is an outdoor hot spring. You can soak in the hot spring and enjoy the night, moonlight or starry sky. The hotel room is also large and overall very good. Disadvantages: The pillows are not very comfortable and a bit hard. In addition, the sink and table are relatively low in design, making them not very convenient to use.

It’s been such a nice stay, the room is large and clean, the traditional decor is perfectly introduced into the vibe of Nikko. The dinner and breakfast were perfectly served. Plus, they have a very nice souvenir shop on the first floor, bought a few socks there. Finally, the onsen was brilliant, also large room and a small onsen outside on a balcony. I regret staying only for one night.

Excellent staff, location and facilities. We enjoyed the food and the private hot tub on our balcony. All of the staff were very friendly, and went above and beyond with any request. Just avoid getting a massage. The masseuse was horrible. She had my wife keep her robe on and then covered her with towels before roughly rubbing her. She ended up with rug burns on her feet and a kinked neck. If you can avoid that disaster you will have a wonderful time here.
