I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome. The room was clean and comfortable, with stunning views. The amenities, including the hot spring and restaurant, were top-notch. I highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing getaway!

An extravagant Onsen Hotel experience. I came in Autumn in the depth of fall colours. Every night the wind in the trees lulled me to bed. The rooms with the private tub and terrace are awesome. Dinner and breakfast is luxurious too with a sampling of local Nikko delicacies like Yuba. A hotel for adults looking for calm and solace.

We terribly regret booking this hotel. It completely ruined our stay in Niko. It feels like a large chain hotel with no character and no attentive customer service.
1. The location is very (!) far from all the attractions. 30 minutes by car to Nikko temples, and one hour (!) drive to all the main waterfalls. We should have done better research.
2. We booked a room Japanese style with a private outdoor onsen. The decor is not really Japanese style (very modern) and the outdoor onsen had mosquitoes! Impossible to relax. Also, the water wasn’t very hot and you cannot adjust the temperature from the room.
3. The restaurant has beautiful presentation, but we did not like the food at all. When we politely asked to cancel our next nights’ dinner reservations (we paid a lot of money for this hotel) they refused to refund, even after we told them we will not be coming to the dinners. They showed no flexibility or sensitivity and we were very upset with the food. Very disappointed.
4. Value for money - for the price they charge, I expect better accommodation, better food, better location, and much better service.
Be careful about booking this.

The hotel location may be somewhat challenging to locate, but once found, you'll discover a beautiful hotel with fantastic service. Additionally, the included dinner is delicious and enjoyable.

The three of us walked up from Kinugawa Station. It took about 15 minutes to walk. It was mid-December and the red leaves had not yet receded. The environment along the way was beautiful. The hotel is a one-way hotel-specific cable car up. It is very unique and different from other hotels. Breakfast and dinner are all Japanese-style, with careful ingredients, fresh and delicious.

Very good hotel. It is also very comfortable to take a hot spring bath at night. The catering cost performance is full! The front desk service is a little worse because of an intern. I am very satisfied with everything else.
Super relaxing and the food is delicious
I had a good night's rest, I was so happy

The environment is beautiful, the rooms are large and comfortable, there is a terrace, and the breakfast and dinner are delicious. The hot spring facilities in the hotel are very good, and you can drink free drinks such as coffee. It is a very unique hot spring hotel.

The service is very good, breakfast and dinner are rich and delicious, especially the dinner is amazing, sitting by the window, the beautiful scenery and delicious food, the experience is strong. To get to the hotel, you have to take a cable car of the hotel, which is very unique. Catch the lecture on Mashiko ware arranged by the hotel, which is a very good experience.
