My friend and I stayed at Morinouta Hotel for one night, and it turned out to be such a lovely experience. The staff were genuinely friendly at one point, the host came over and asked if we wanted some homemade cheesecake (obviously yes, because… cheesecake). They also gave us tips on places to check out nearby, which was really helpful. The rooms were cosy and comfortable, with huge windows that are perfect for sitting by with a cup of tea or for taking slightly dramatic, Victorian-style photos if you’re in the mood.

We went there at the end of our 2 1/2 week Japan travel for three nights. This is a wonderful retreat with an outstanding Onsen experience (three mixed outside hot spring onsen pools and another one outside onsen for woman only. All have a relaxing waterfall view. We were supplied with Yukata clothing and had delicious Kaiseki meals. On our last morning, without asking for it, we received a continental breakfeast instead of the Japanese one. We participated in a nice star gazing tour and did a great hike to the marshland (about 12 km, 4 hours there and back). We strongly recommend to come for more than one night, as travel there takes almost a day.

I loved their super zen Japanese garden - our room and the dining room had views onto this beautiful garden. I also loved their outdoor onsen with the cedar wood tub - it was amazing to soak in this and smell the comforting cedar in hot spring water, absolutely decadent. And the food! Breakfasts and dinners were utterly amazing - especially our first dinner where we were taught to cook our own yuba sashimi (the local tofu delicacy in Nikko). The spread is huge, and everything tasted wonderful. But most especially, I liked that the hotel had the foresight to employ English-speaking workers, it made our entire experience much more meaningful when the staff were able to explain things to us. The hotel is perfectly located - about 5 mins by bus from the Tobu Nikko train station, and 3 mins walk to the Shinkyo bridge and close to the shrines. The bus stop is right in front of the hotel and we took this bus on the famous winding Irohazaka Road (which inspired the Initial D series) up to Lake Chuzenji and Kegon waterfalls.

I stayed two nights in this amazing hotel and enjoyed every single bit of it Service: The staff was absolutely amazing, very attentive without being intrusive, absolutely charming, very knowledgeable of activities around Nikko, they engaged in conversation and we're super nice. I can't find the names of the staff, but I want to thank the Metre for that amazing whisky. The hotel: Absolutely beautiful, great design concept, the lounge is amazing the rooms too, spotless, spacious, lots of light, very well decorated. The bed and pillows were so nice and comfortable, the best in my month in Japan. Food: A delight to the senses all the dishes at dinner were exquisite, great combination of flavors, textures, aromas, and perfect presentation. Breakfast was great too. There's also free cocktails and drinks and champagne for breakfast if you're into that. As a bonus during dinner time there's a DJ and you can request music. Location: It's a bit far from Nikko Tobu station and downtown Nikko but they have a shuttle bus service so don't worry about it. A taxi from Tobu Nikko to the hotel will run you about ¥2000.

Kinugawa Park Hotels is a nice Japanese-style inn with large and comfortable rooms offering both European beds as well as Tatami mats. The Onsen public baths are a bit dated, but well laid out and a nice experience.

Rooms are very big and comfy, onsen is small but very nice to enjoy. Nikko is quiet and calm and so was this location. Breakfast included was the right choice because it‘s hard to find something to eat nearby especially in the morning. Ryokan is amazingly beautiful and futon was adequate.

Beautiful views, warm welcome, comfortable futon, and overall nice japanese style room. I loved the yukata that we received, and I was extremely happy with the onsen. The lobby area is very nice, i appreciated that we could leave the luggage there. The area itself is also very enjoyable and walkable, and the accommodation is also close to the station.

A true Japanse ryokan experience. Traditional Japanse customs: indoor slippers, onsen, futon floor beds, Japanse food only, great & friendly hospitality and transport to train station services. All highlight within walkable distance.

Onsen was moderately sized with an outdoor component containing amazing sulphuric hot spring water. Service and dinner was also impeccable, never felt so welcomed at a ryokan before. Would definitely recommend for couples!
