"The breakfast and dinner are both very delicious and bountiful "

"Quiet and relaxing onsen inn, an economic choice as well. A short walk up from a bus stop, with a lovely view of the lake. Great for a relaxing get away."

"This felt like a family-owned inn (not sure if it is) and the staff were absolutely wonderful. We did the included breakfast and dinner, and the dinners were among the best meals we had during our entire 12-day trip in Japan! This is an older hotel, but you are paying for the location -- absolutely gorgeous on Lake Chuzenji! Okunikko is tiny and I'd recommend doing dinner at the hotel since much of the little town closes in the evenings, once the day trippers head out. I would recommend this hotel to people who like an inn/bed and breakfast sort of smaller establishment. It was a bit outdated, but that didn't bother us. "

"I would tell everyone traveling to japan to go to Nikko and to stay at this property. It is magical!! "

"Amazing "

"Charming traditional hospitality "

"Overall enjoyed our stay but there were a few small things that could have made our stay more fulfilling. The entire place is made kids friendly which was really touching and is a welcome attitude given we are a family with 2 kids. The breakfast spread was quite good but had very limited vegetarian options - again the kids section there was really awesome! Rooms were quite clean but a bit smaller than anticipated, the toilet exhaust was a bit low or not working which made it a bit awkward. Loved the dedicated kids play area, gachapon area, vending machines, coin laundry, pool was paid, onsens were excellent and the halloween themed setup was cute. We were really relieved with the dedicated Lawson combini in their lobby!!! How cool is that :)"

"It’s got a great view, the owner is super nice. I stayed in September. However, the shower/bath water in the room was VERY cold. Honestly my only complaint about the place. Otherwise I loved it. Check in is very easy too. "

"Feels very upmarket from the entrance all the way to the room. The Japanese room I stayed in felt extremely large; like a 5-star hotel in Tokyo. The washbasin area looks modern and is well equipped with amenities, including a face steamer. Separate toilet is large. Bathtub is deep for a good soak with a nice view of the outside. Parking is limited in front so you need to drive further in or up the slope. May be inconvenient if you are alone with heavy luggage and arriving late. Some of the fixtures also need attention as the mixer switch at the bathtub (room 305) was broken with sharp edges; this can be a risk for children, those with poor eyesight or using it in low light. I did not use the hot springs as I spend most of the time exploring the area by car. Highly recommended for couples, lone travellers and small families."
