Ryokan Honke Bankyu
321-2601 Tochigi, Nikko, Yunishikawa 749 , Japan – Great location - show map
The staff were friendly and accommodating. It was an anniversary trip and they gave us complimentary house wine which was nice. The view from our room was great as it was right beside the river and the hanging bridge. It looked magical at night. The futons were really comfortable. We tried one of the private hot springs and for about 1000 yen for 45 minutes it was well worth it. The dinner was something else, the food just kept coming and we were so full after. Breakfast was mostly Japanese dishes and it was adequate.

A fabulous experience!! Everything was beyond expectations. An awesome touch was going over the bridge to a wonderful dinner in a private room. Private onsen after dinner also a must to finish off an amazing evening.

An outstanding experience. The dinners were extraordinary and the staff exceptionally friendly

Nice dinner and breakfast, helpful staff, good location

Superb decoration and food. Highly recommend dinner course - do not miss for any reason. Staff and place is very impressive. Valued for money once in your lifetime to stay at 300yrs old place. Onsen also great.

The ryokan staff service is excellent, mostly speak limited English and I can see that they are trying their level best to assist (this is where Google translate could be useful). I was contacted earlier by the staff to confirm the dietary/meal arrangement and they are more than happy to accommodate which is nice. The ryokan has its own charm and one of a kind. The rotenburo (private outdoor onsen) and public Onsen (one each at indoor and outdoor) is not to be missed. The breakfast and dinner (kaiseki ryori) served was also a good experience.

The view was beautiful, food was amazing, and the private bath was absolutely fabulous. It was paradise! The history is amazing, too. To think the Taira clan had hid in those mountains for so long! Our room was huuuuge! Outside of the genkan (entrance room), we had a room with fridge and message chair, toilet room, sitting/eating room, bedroom (with sitting area), washroom before the main event room: the onsen room. The onsen is natural spring water and super hot, but you can open the sliding windows to the outside. It was breathtaking.

Yunishigawa Onsen is a very small onsen town tucked away in the mountains. Definitely off the beaten path. The small town feel was great for someone escaping Tokyo. Water was very warm, but not HOT.

Truly Japanese experience, very cozy and excellent dinner, nice onsen with private option

A traditional Japanese hotel with great ambience. Great wood decoration and the bridge to the dining hall is amazing
