4-Star Hotels in Nikko

Not so worth the price..view from room was good, location was good, but food not worth for what i paid for, dinner and breakfast served a bit normal, taste normal, when breakfast time i ask for a pack of seaweed(only 2 packs on table), the staff was very loud and replied me 'No No No'! Like I'm requesting addditional main dishes from them, I''m a bit shock this is just a small thing and didn't worth a lot of money, you can just reply me 'we don't provide additional, we have only this 1 small pack for 1 customer' will do right, a bit disappointed on this part. Anyways staff at reception was nice!

Getting from the hotel from the Yunishigawaonsen Station on the bus (the schedule is on the site of the onsen), the river with such history, of course, could provide transfer to the residents. Otherwise everything was great, most impressed by his own Onsen in a room with a view to the mountain river and the room itself, traditional but at the same time modern. Kaiseki's dinner was unusual and delicious, the view on breakfast was fascinating. The staff is very friendly to foreigners if you want to feel the traditional values of Japan, I recommend.

Service: Very good. A grandma in the restaurant recommended me the tofu skin at the station. Hot spring: Since there are only 16 rooms, the two times I went there were reserved. There are also free massage chairs in the lounge outside. Breakfast and dinner were both delicious. (The terrace of the restaurant has a very nice view. There are lounge chairs inside where you can lie down all afternoon with a glass of happy water while enjoying the wind) The video below was taken from the balcony of the room.

really amazing service especially the onsen the adult food. rooms are a little outdated. It did catch us off guard as it was about 1000 USD for two nights for the 3 kids and their meals were like pasta and fries. I am not sure we would have spend this money staying with kids. Better suited for adults or if money really isn't an issue spending already so much at the hotel.

This hotel boasts an excellent location, with stunning views of Lake Chuzenji right from the balcony. The room features both indoor and outdoor onsen baths, making it incredibly pleasant to soak while enjoying the lake view, especially on a clear day. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The room itself is spacious, well-equipped, clean, and tidy. The hotel also provides a convenient shuttle bus service to nearby transport hubs, which is a thoughtful touch.

The hotel is nestled in the mountains, but unfortunately, there's no shuttle service. If you take the public bus, you'll still have a bit of a walk to get there. Taking the inclined lift from the entrance to the lobby was a novel experience. Typically, hotels like this often have a lounge, but this one didn't. The room did come with two drip coffee bags and two types of snacks. The hot spring bath is a bit small, so you have to take turns. Other than that, everything else you'd expect was there. The meals were delicate and light, which suited our taste perfectly, though meat lovers might find them a bit too vegetarian. After dinner, we went for a stroll to the Frai-Aai Bridge and saw the impressive Red Ogre wielding a mace.

Our room is in a traditional Japanese style. While you’re having dinner, the staff will come in and prepare the futon for you. Amenities like shampoo and conditioner are not provided in the room, so you’ll need to pick them up from the lobby on the ground floor. Yukata are available to borrow, and there’s also drinking water, both hot and cold, as well as a microwave provided on the ground floor. The hotel also offers a private onsen, which can be booked for 45 minutes per session. It costs around 2,800 yen per session, not per person. What I really liked was the breakfast and dinner buffet. The food suited my taste and there was a good variety to choose from. The only downside is that the hotel is a bit far from the train station, but there is a shuttle service from the hotel to the station in the morning, running about four times a day.

Watching the sunrise from the open-air bath was fantastic. The water temperature was just right. It would have been even more satisfying if the showerhead had been a ReFa or something similar. We were very happy to have a Mont Blanc tea break right after arriving. However, since we were a group of four (including a married couple of friends), there wasn't an option for us to sit around the fireplace. We would like to request a change in the seating arrangement or chair specifications. It would have been nice if board games or card games were available for rent. Overall, it was clean, the location was good, and we were able to relax and enjoy our stay.

The facilities show their age, and the thin walls were a minor concern, but for the price, it definitely exceeded our expectations. The food, in particular, was absolutely fantastic! The buffet, featuring an abundance of local Nikko ingredients, offered a wide variety of dishes, all meticulously prepared and flavorful. We thoroughly enjoyed both breakfast and dinner. There were many families, creating a welcoming atmosphere where you can feel at ease even with children. I think this is the perfect hotel for a family trip to fully experience the nature of Oku-Nikko.

We were very happy with everything the hotel provided. If there is shuttle bus between the hotel and kinugawaonsen station, it would be perfect for foreign tourists who travel by train and bus.Buffet dinner is wonderful.
