Nikko Hotels with balcony

Well, it’s the Ritz Carlton, so expect the price and expect the proportional experience! Staff was super attentive from the moment I got on the shuttle bus to the moment I step off the bus going back to Tokyo. My Rooms was impressively spacious and impeccably appointed. I just havs breakfast once during my two nights stay, it was professionally prepared and it was priced accordingly ( very high end😂！）I decided to go on a diet so I can go back to eat in Tokyo, all joking aside, it was a great soul healing and spirit rejuvenating journey to visit Nikko😆😆😆

Upon arriving, you can tell the hotel had its glorious days, and it's clearly put in a lot of effort to survive and remain standing in Kinugawa! The room was spacious and clean, and the staff even helped set up the futons while we were at dinner. The room rate included two buffet meals, both of which offered a good variety and quality of food. However, 90 minutes for dinner felt very rushed. I initially chose this hotel because the photos of the open-air onsen looked very appealing. But I was quite disappointed with the onsen facilities here. The hotel has three hot springs: the main bath on the 1st floor of the main building, the open-air onsen on the 13th floor, and the bathhouse in the annex. It turned out the open-air onsen was tiny, and the changing area was also very small. The strangest thing was that there were only four shower stalls, and they only had body wash – no shampoo or conditioner (which is really odd). Yet, the main bath on the 1st floor had over 20 different types of shampoo to choose from (bizarre!). I ended up having to wash my hair back in the room, but in the summer heat of June, it took an incredibly long time for the hot water to come on. I visit many onsen hotels in Japan every year. While this hotel's rooms and dining were decent, its onsen was the most disappointing I've encountered. And the room rate wasn't cheap either, so I won't be considering staying here again!

My first time visit to Japan and I was after an authentic Japanese accommodation. I booked a Japanese Style room with futon beds which were very comfortable. The room was beautiful and very clean. My booking also included breakfast and dinner which were always outstanding, beautifully prepared and unique food items. They utilized farm to table dining and the women explained each item served. They provided and encouraged one to wear Kimonos’s /tabi socks / slippers during one’s stay at, “ Nikko Iwaiyado Juyan “. Which further contributed to the authentic Japanese vibe. Indoor and outdoor hot tubs were amazing. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. The hotel is nestled within mountains and the setting serene. Hotel is family owned and they take pride in caring for their guests.

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.

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.

We especially liked the warm welcome when we arrived. We were greeted, shown around, taken to our room, and everything was explained to us, which made check-in very easy and comfortable. The public onsens aren't very big, but they never felt crowded while we were there. There are also some beautiful places to walk nearby. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent.

My partner and I stayed here, drawn by the private open-air bath attached to the room. We loved being able to use the hot spring anytime, and the surroundings were incredibly quiet and comfortable. Depending on the season, the shower might be located outdoors, so it could feel a bit chilly when washing your hair or body. We chose a plan that included breakfast, which was a buffet with a limited selection. Nevertheless, the omelet with Nikko yuba (tofu skin) ankake was absolutely delicious and a highlight for me. The location is relatively close to Tobu and JR Nikko Stations, about a 5-minute drive. However, it's quite a long, steep walk, so the location is only moderate in terms of convenience. Overall, we were very satisfied with our trip and made some wonderful memories.

If you arrive late at night, you might accidentally drive right past it, but it's spacious enough for families. The abundance of amenities that make you feel at home is very much appreciated. Regarding amenities, a bathroom on the first floor would be desirable. Also, there's a projector in the living room, but it seems you need to register it with a TV viewing app beforehand, which is inconvenient. While you can watch free YouTube videos, it would be much better if there was a regular TV. Regarding amenities, it would have been even better if there were razors.

About a year ago When I stayed here, the Sri Lankan woman who helped me remembered me ✨ Thank you so much for taking my circumstances into consideration and helping me ✨ The tranquility of Oku-Nikko suits me perfectly ✨ I will stay here again Thank you very much ✨
