Nikko Hotels with Bars

This concept hotel in Nikko had been on my radar for a while. The guest rooms and lounge, meticulously designed by the owner, Mr. Tomiyama, exude a depth you won't find in other hotels. It made for a uniquely charming trip, something big chain hotels just can't offer. It was also very educational, as the owner personally served our meals and chatted with us! If you prefer typical, pristine hotels or well-known brands, this might not be for you. However, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a travel experience that's a bit out of the ordinary! Finally, please note that the mountain view rooms do not have bathtubs, and there's no large public bath on site. So, if a good bath is a priority for you, this might not be the best choice.

Unexpectedly delightful! The hotel room was beautiful, and every staff member we encountered, from check-in to check-out, was wonderful. The hotel offers many activities; we joined the stargazing and Lake Chuzenji walk, and the stargazing activity gave us an incredible view of the night sky!

Nikko is a popular summer retreat for Tokyoites and the burial site of shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, known for its beautiful scenery. The sacred Shinkyo Bridge is conveniently located between the hotel and the station. However, the hotel doesn't offer a shuttle service, meaning the Fufu's renowned service is limited to within its premises. Once you step out, you're on your own. When I left, there were no taxis available, and no ride-hailing apps either. The staff, with a smile, simply pointed me in the direction of the public bus stop, under the blazing sun. The hotel's garden, though not huge, is quite beautiful. The rooms are spacious, the internet connection is decent, and the facilities are excellent, especially the hot springs – both the in-room ones and the large public bath are fantastic. The absolute highlight of this hotel is undoubtedly the dining. It was truly superb.

First of all, the Tangyuan Hot Spring Area is a very recommended hot spring resort. Friends who want to go to the sun must be considered. As for the Tangyuan Xiaobin City Hotel (the actual local signboard of the hotel is written “坂屋”), it is chosen as the first choice for hot springs. As long as it is geographically located and also has breakfast and dinner, there is a comprehensive selection of room sizes. 4.0 rating, but I personally gave a rating of 4.8 or more. First of all, the service staff has a very good attitude and can express in English. If there is translation software on the mobile phone, it will be easier to communicate. Then, basically, when you register for accommodation, tell you, and ask you to prepare some meals, breakfast 7 : 30 and 8:30 two sections, dinner is also 6:00 and 7:00, and then tell you, their hotel hot spring is twenty-four hours, there are room equipment, so these are the introduction, no Chinese Everyone can understand. The Japanese-style hot spring hotel, as long as the room has its own bathroom and washstand, the bath is not so necessary, because before you go into the hot spring bath, you need to wash your body, all the configuration, In addition to facial cleanser. Its hot spring male soup soup, both have indoor and outdoor two pools, if it is winter, it is the feeling of bathing in the snow, so it is recommended As for the meal, it is the traditional Japanese style, it is absolutely full, and the taste is very authentic, just fine, but please note that the most important factor in the price of the reservation option is that the same room type is more expensive. The price of the meal, the taste of the meal is completely different in two grades, please friends who love to bathe, must be carefully compared, if the family is more than two people travel, it is recommended to choose a room, because, the general Japanese standard room The single beds are very small, one person sleeps very small, and don't even want to sleep with the children in the cot. Therefore, it is recommended that you have a room with a child, and if the child is not under five years old, If you dine together, it will still be enough. If you come here for a bath, you will still choose this hotel.

Thank you so much for kindly coming to pick me up even though it was so late and there were no more trains running. I will continue to use your service.

A rather unique hot spring hotel. The room I booked was a Japanese-style room (washitsu), purely tatami room, and there's no bathroom inside – please be aware of this. To bathe, you need to go to a separate, traditional Japanese hot spring bath, separated by gender, where you must be naked and thoroughly washed before entering. Opinions on the experience vary, but the Japanese seem to enjoy it, haha. The hotel includes breakfast and dinner, which were surprisingly high quality, and the menu changed daily, which was a pleasant surprise. The service was excellent, with the typical Japanese attentiveness, and the staff spoke decent English, so communication wasn't a problem. Overall, a very unique hotel, definitely worth experiencing.

Although the location is a little off, the overall environment is still very good. The Kinu River flows outside the window, and the view is very good. We were greeted by a Nepalese employee who introduced the hotel to us in English, including dining locations and hot spring bathing times. While we were eating, they also introduced the ingredients to us and chatted with us for a while. The service was very good. There are shuttle buses available to Kinugawa Onsen Station and Kinugawa Park Station. The next day, since my friend and I were the only ones on the bus, we asked if it was convenient to take us to the Kinu River Bridge. The driver was very nice and took us directly to the bridge entrance, saving us the embarrassment of dragging our suitcases along the way!

This was my first time visiting Oku-Nikko. I believe the hotel has been renovated, and it had a very calming atmosphere which I really liked. If I had to pick something, I wish there were more bread options for dinner. Also, it would have been nicer if the public bath was a bit cleaner.

We liked the hotel very much. It surely needs renovation in some areas, but you forget about this, because the hotel service is very good. The staff is very helful and welcoming, many free amenities are provided: yukata clothes for kids for all ages, socks for geta shoes, face sheet masks for ladies. Futons are very cosy, kaiseki dinner was worth it, but if your kids do not like Japanese style food, you need to think of it beforehand. Onsen area is very nice. It has pool also. I would recommend to stay in this hotel and enjoy Japanese experience.

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!
