We reserved a Japanese-style room and this hotel surpasses all our expectations: clean and spacious sleeping and sitting rooms, comfortable amenities, friendly staff, great Onsen experience, and great local food (we had their buffet breakfast and dinner). Hotel is only 15-20 minute walk from Kinugawa Onsen Station it it offers a nice shuttle bus to get there. Right next to hotel is the Kinutateiwaotsuri Bridge, a suspension bridge with great views.

The lady with really short hair at the reception is extremely helpful. We had breakfast and dinner buffet at the hotel which was great. Our bed was set up after back from the dinner buffet. We used the private onsen which is worth the value. You have to take a taxi from the kinugawaonsen station to the hotel.(google map shows 15min walk. Make sure you dont trust that). They provided free shuttles bus to the train station in the morning. The view from the room is excellent. We will definitely come back

This hotel was a bit hard to get to with 3 luggages to cart around (transferring from JR line to Tobu-Nikko line). However, the hotel staff helped us organised to transfer our luggages to our next hotel in Osaka (additional fees but so worth it for us and we were able to enjoy the Nikko area more freely). We booked our accommodation with kaiseki dinner and breakfast and it was simply devine! Japanese food was served in our own private table away from the crowd and it was another level. Our dinner and breakfast attendant was Freska and she explained our dishes in English. She also spoke Indonesian and Japanese and was so friendly. Our room had a private onsen, two twin beds and the hotel staff set up a futton bedding in the Japanese style living room while we were eating dinner. The room we had was spacious and offered us a peaceful mountain view. The hotel facilities was on the older side but we came for the hot spring experience and we could see this hotel was also popular Japanese families visiting from other parts of Japan.

The views from our room was awesome. The staff were really nice and the room looked clean. The BAD was the room really stank. Like really really stank. Not sure if we were given a smoking room. I tried to ask and either the staff person didnt understand or it was truly a smoking room but i wasnt given the option to move. The stinch evetnually made our throats hurt so we had to leave the balcony doors and windows open. The dinner was expensive and kind of blah but there were few other options. Our room have virtually no wifi connection. The cafe with a foot bath was nice, the little souvenir shope cute and the suspension bridge fun. Theres really not much in the immediate area. We walked to tubo square wolrd which was very worth it. We stayed gere planning to go to edo wonderlabd but it ended up raining hard all day. All in all i wouldnt stay in this hotel again. Everyone else there was 65-70 and it was probably good for that age range. I guess it ciudk ve a romantic getaway place assuming they have unstinky rooms.

The staffwas friendly and accommodating. Talking on the phone was difficult due to language barrier, but there were a couple English speakers on staff that were able to assist us. The location was perfect. The property is on a cliff overlooking the lake and theres a suspension bridge behind it. Mountain views everywhere. Breakfast was good. I loved our room. It was a little warm, but they were able to give us fans for the room. THE ONSENS WERE AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! If you have tattoos, either cover them or reserve a private onsen.

First, the positive: The room was renovated! The rest of the hotel is in an absolutely desolate state. Old, worn, and not at all like the pictures on Hotels.com. The onsen, and especially the sauna, are on the verge of collapse. Absolutely unacceptable. The foreign staff, from Nepal or Pakistan, are unfriendly and arrogant—there's no Japanese atmosphere at all. I've been traveling to Japan for onsen 5-7 times a year for over 12 years. But this hotel is a disgrace.
