“Lovely ryokan, wonderful food”

This is a small ryokan, located 5 minutes walk from the local train station. It does however back onto the train tracks, but the trains on that track are not frequent, and usually do not run late into the evening. Therefore our sleep was never disturbed. The Japanese rooms are good sized, with AC, TV, tea making facilities, private toilet and the sleeping materials. Sleeping on the tatami was actually quite comfortable! The food was amazing for dinner, wonderful mix of hot and cold courses, all presented on a huge tray. I won't spoil it with any photos, but we were very full and content. The staff are really nice, especially the food servers who were super attentive and friendly, even if they were not able to speak much english. The onsen part of the ryokan was split into male and female with no private facilities. Really hot water, infused with charcoal with a small indoor and outdoor pool. Never got too busy since there are only 18 rooms. Plenty of toiletries as well for communal use. All in all, we had an amazing time here, even if it was only 1 night. We were on a bit of a tight schedule. We visited Nikko the next day. I would stay here again, but equally would try out another onsen area also. If you are deciding whether you want to stay here, I would recommend that you book now and enjoy the experience!

“Great modern ryokan”

This ryokan, located in Kinugawa-onsen, is a great choice for stays in the area.

This ryokan, located in Kinugawa-onsen, is a great choice for stays in the area. It is a modern take on the ryokan style, equipped with a elevator, so you don't have to carry your heavy bags up to the room. The room is wide and spacious and clean. There was a small hint of old cigarette smoke on the room, but that might be something that cannot be controlled. The staff are super friendly, and will go out of their way to help you. The onsen space is very good and the rotenburo (outside onsen) very pleasant for an Autumn night, where the air is chillier but the water just the right temperature. It is close to the the local train station, and that means you will have some noise coming from the trains, but if you want a place close to a station, to reduce bus or taxi fares or long walks with bags, you need to make that trade off. I recommend this place.
