Lovely outside onsen to be enjoyed with the cool mountain air! Meals were fun and delicious. Traditional meal with local offerings! Rooms were clean and service was great. Room service made and put away beds daily, which was a nice touch.

Relaxing and comfortable

We stayed their only 1 night, but we had great hospitality. Before check in, staff served us green tea and snack to rest. and even we came 9 people including 6 Americans together, check in was very smooth in English and Japanese. At the dinner, one of staff served us and explained each meals in English. The dinner was very beautiful and great taste. Some of my friends went to onsen at the first time, and we enjoyed onsen and view from there. Also, view from our room was very nice. We could see river and mountain and we don't have to care people's eye from outside.
Next day, we walked to Nikko Toshogu from the hotel. It was about 10 minutes walking!

Beautiful view and great dinner

We had the best time of our entire 3 weeks in Japan at this Ryokan.
The rooms are huge - we pushed the boat out to have the onsen balcony which I highly recommend. It was wonderful to have an authentic traditional experience. If you struggle with Japanese style bedding, there are extra cushions in the cupboard should you need them. My husband had the best sleep ever on the futon. I liked it the most when I had extra cushions.

The onsen was absolutely incredible, a tremendous experience what with the lake and the mountain. One of the most beautiful things I have ever encountered.

The staff were lovely. When we arrived early they stored our bags and helped us with a tourist map and suggestions of where to go. They helped us find our bearings. 

All food was absolutely incredible. I loved the dinner, which was a traditional kaiseki meal, exquisitely prepared. If you have a western stomach and struggle with the brilliant Japanese breakfast you can always top up with the convenience store less than 2 minutes away - really delicious food.

We had such an incredible time here - cannot recommend it enough.

Incredible

We stayed for two days at the Kozuchi No Yado ryokan (arranged by Yves from Amazing Tours) and were amazed by the kindness and hospitality of the staff. My daughter has a hearing problem and communicates with sign language so all of the staff of the restaurant learned a few signs to make her feel welcome as well, that really moved me and I would like to thank them especially for that. We also enjoyed the outstanding traditional food that was served, the futons to sleep on, the traditional clothing we could wear, the beatiful view on the river and of course the lovely relaxing onsen. The ryokan was also very good lacated to visit the tempels. Definitely recommended when you want to stay at Niko.

Wonderful stay!

This Ryokan is really worth it: The reception was very king with a cup of the.... A nice room with a view on the small river. The onsen was fine. Diner was really nice. A many courses menu with lots of small exotic ' appetizers'. No one spoke English but that was no problem, We liked it very much!

Very fine ryokan, very nice and friendly people and really good japanese diner!

We visited this hotel at the end of September. The weather was wonderful! The hotel is easy to find. We took a little bus from the train station. It took us 5 minutes to arrive to the Ryokan. It is very cute! Outside is not impressive. Inside is just lovely place! I loved the rooms, the windows and the fact that is at one side of the river. The sound of the river was very relaxing! 

I really like the place. It is very clean. The food is of excellent quality. It is a fixed menu of Japanese delicacies and breakfast and dinner were served at specific times. They will ask you which times you prefer. You have to wear a very nice yukuta and very nice Japanese shoes. 

It could be difficult to sleep on the floor. The first night was tough. On the second night, we took many mattresses and we put them on top of of each other and we slept better. The mattresses were storage at the closet. 

This is an authentic Japanese experience. It is memorable!

To reach the shrines is very easy. Just cross the street and you are there. We always stopped for ice cream after visiting the shrines at a lovely souvenir store that is across the street. 

It is expensive. The price includes breakfast and dinner. It could be difficult to make reservations. You have to make the reservations in advance. Many Japanese stay at this hotel.

A fantastic Japanese experience!

I don't know why so many of the reviews here criticise the venue for not having enough English-speaking staff. Nikko is a quiet town in the mountains and the vast majority of the staff at this amazing hotel were of the older generation. While we had an English-speaking member of staff assist us with check in, the staff at mealtimes spoke limited (almost no) English but happily mimed and warn us with "hot!" and beamed and bowed at us when we complimented the meal (oishi!!). 

We stayed for three evenings and each meal was overwhelmingly generous and beautifully plated, with wonderful variety. Tempura, sukiyaki, shabu shabu, sashimi, and more! The half-board is a must. Breakfast is also huge and will fill you up well into the afternoon.

A room with a terrace bath is a wonderful luxury and well worth the price, but do keep in mind that the water that is pumped into the rooms isn't hot springs water. Head up to the rooftop bath for a full experience. The outdoor bath is superb on a chilly night after dinnertime.

Yes, the hotel is older and some people probably expect it to be more updated because of its cost, but it's wonderfully traditional and all part of the experience. We were there over a weekend and the hotel was full of visiting Japanese tourists - always a good indication.

I think all rooms are smoking rooms, but at my inquiry for a non-smoking room they said the room would be well-aired for our arrival. There was a little residual smell but it went away with an afternoon of the windows open.

The hotel does a complimentary pick up/drop off at Nikko Station upon request.

Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! Perfect location to all of the World Heritage sites and a short stroll into the town centre.

An incredible, authentic and traditional Japanese experience

My original plan was to get to the hotel late at night so I informed the hotel that I would be arriving late.  They told me that the price of the room included dinner and that if I was arriving late it would be charged to me anyway, to which I agreed.  

As my plan changed, I informed them that I would possibly make it on time and that I would possibly have dinner there.  On that day I received an email at 1:30 informing me that it was too late for them to prepare dinner for us that night and that we had to make other plans.  

I find this a poor way of conducting business.  I did my best to save them from wasting food and in return they charge me for a meal they did not prepare.   

In doubt, if they were to charge me anyway, they should have prepared the food in case I arrive on time like I did.

In retrospect I should have never told them anything and let them waste the food if I had arrived later.

Too bad this concludes my trip to Japan, all other places were extremely good.
