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.

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.

The customer service was beyond excellent, the staff were very attentive and caring and accommodating. The hotel is beautifully and thoughtfully designed. the room was spacious, comfortable, gorgeous with massive picture windows. It's out in nature, no wires or buildings or people in sight. The included breakfast, which they adapted to be vegetarian for me, was one of the best and healthiest meals we had in all of our Japan travels.

The kaiseki dinners and breakfasts were clearly the highlight of the stay. They might arguably have been worth the entire cost of the stay, and make the ryokan itself a destination for a quick trip from Tokyo. The setting is beautiful, looking down over a rushing mountain river. The staff were attentive and seemed to be genuinely sweet and caring people.

    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.
