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.

The staff were so kind and made sure you understood them, best customer service I’ve ever had. Also, we had a traditional room with a private bath and it was perfect. The diner and breakfast were also really good! 10/10 I will come back someday!

The breakfast was amazing! Delicious and plentiful! The view from our room was breath-taking. Our dinners (we treated ourselves to two) were exceptional and amazing. The second evening the chef changed up some selections for us which was very thoughtful. We also enjoyed the happy hour and playing some gamees together before dinner.

The owner was the sweetest, hardest working inn-keeper we have met. She drove us from and to the little bus stop near the minshuku. The facility is old but clean and the rooms were warm and comfortable. The hotspring bath was lovely but the dinner and breakfast were the best. Part of the train ride from Nikko to Kinugawa Onsen turned out to be fun with an old steam train. The little bus from Kinugawa Onsen to the stop of the guesthouse was an adventure in itself. Please DO listen to the advice of getting there early. There are only a few buses in the early afternoon.

The staff was super friendly and they offered to pick us up from the station when we arrived and they took us to the train station in the morning the next morning. They even provided recommendations to a local ramen shop nearby that had been amazing. The room was super clean and nice to stay in for the night after a day visit to shrines.

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.

A true Japanse ryokan experience. Traditional Japanse customs: indoor slippers, onsen, futon floor beds, Japanse food only, great & friendly hospitality and transport to train station services. All highlight within walkable distance.

Onsen was moderately sized with an outdoor component containing amazing sulphuric hot spring water. Service and dinner was also impeccable, never felt so welcomed at a ryokan before. Would definitely recommend for couples!
