The hotel is 20-40 min drive from Mashiko, Kasama and some onsens. the lobby is beautiful and great books and urushi art are displayed. I wish there were nice places to have dinner after 20:30 but that's part of spending time in the countryside.

Located just 2 minutes walk from Tobu Nikko Station and Bus Stops to all attractions. Family Mart is opposite the property. Supermarket a few minutes walk away. Many eateries surrounding the property. Extremely convenient. Check-in was a breeze and the staff is efficient. The capsule is like a very small private room. There is a lockable door to access the capsule. Inside the capsule there is a small writing table, a chair and a locker. Bed is comfortable. Love the privacy. Light sleeper beware, your neighbour's snoring can affect the quality of your sleep. Those with big luggages will have difficulty opening your luggage inside the tiny private capsule. There is an elevator. Toilet is shared and shower is the typical Japanese onsen style bath. The onsen is perfect after a tiring day visiting the shrines. Breakfast can be reserved the night before. Prior to check-in and after checking out, guest can use the limited coin locker (¥100) located beside the entrance to store luggage.

Absolutely love how child-friendly the hotel is. My children (3&1) loved the baby room with the toy kitchen, and the floor we were on had a small play space by the elevator, the wonderful play area inside and outside is fantastic and the buffet included children’s food & baby food. Just spectacular! My eldest experienced onsen for the first time and it was so spacious and easy for him to get around, he loved it! Me and hubby also loved the lounge evening drinks & snacks (which included sweets for the children - amazing) Thank you to the staff who spoke English for my check in!

We had a room with private onsen on the balcony. We enjoyed using it at night. The hotel's location is so close to nature, we could hear what sounded like deer rustling through the woods behind the property. The location is relatively remote, in Okunikko (which needs a car/bus from the main Nikko area). We arrived by bus and then walked about 10 minutes from the main road to the hotel's entrance. For us, this remoteness was great. The room was very large. The best thing for us was the outside private onsen, with a great view of the woods and Lake Chujenzi behind it. Please see attached photo. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel. They both felt like very luxury experiences. They were traditional Japanese meals (many small dishes) and were delicious. The restaurant staff were very friendly and could explain the menu to us in English. The service was generally very good. The hotel offered free drinks when we arrived to check in, including beer (you can help yourself). This was great, because we spent the morning/early afternoon exploring all the various temples etc in Nikko. The shared onsen were great. There were three for the men (and three for women too, I believe) of various sizes. The largest was indoor and the other two were outdoor. I especially enjoyed the outdoor onsen, listening to the birds whilst the morning light filtered through the maple trees. This was once of our favourite experiences of our Japan holiday. The next time I visit Japan, I would like to visit Nikko again and I would like to stay at this same hotel.

A magnificent ryokan ideally located just a stone’s throw from Nikko Toshogu. The staff is incredibly attentive, providing impeccable service. The room was spacious, comfortable, and peaceful, and the baths offered an exceptionally relaxing experience. A special mention for the Japanese gourmet meal – absolutely exquisite! A true culinary experience that alone makes the stay worthwhile.

Hidden gem! We loved our stay at this authentic traditional Japanese hotel, walking in kimono and resting in onsen. The rooms were cozy and spacious. The hotel staff was really friendly and helpful. The location is great, surrounded by nature and a short hike. We went for waterfalls and AMAZING Nikko shrines just in 15-30 min drive. Highly recommend!

The best thing about Nasushiobara is the hot springs.

The best thing about Nasushiobara is the hot springs. It has the Shiobara hot spring village, which has a rich spring quality and has been loved by royalty and literary masters. You can enjoy the traditional hot springs surrounded by nature in spite of the easy access from Tokyo on the Tohoku Shinkansen, which is just an hour away from Tokyo. Each hot spring in the city is different in scale and taste, but it is an adult resort where you can spend your luxurious time by soaking in the hot spring to your heart’s content.

Nasu is well known and loved by Japanese people.

Nasu is well known and loved by Japanese people. The Emperor has a summer house here as it tends to be cooler in summer. It’s little known by westerners and therefore is not catered to westerners. Parts of Nasu are very beautiful and other parts are set up for families - eg the zoo and the Dairy farm. There are some lovely restaurants and places to visit here but you really need a car to do it.

This quiet gem is worth the trip! It’s a one hour bus ride on a very clean bus to arrive from the airport to a train station connection. There is so much rich history here, beautiful things to see and wonderful food to discover! Home to the oldest school and strongest shogun clan. Samurai parade in February if you can handle the cold. 10/10 come visit Ashikaga!

Nikko proved to be an amazing refuge from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, that was much needed. I visited in early September during a heatwave, and the elevation of Nikko and thus slightly lower temperatures made the stay incredibly refreshing. The temples, lake, waterfalls and the entire area were amazing to discover and very well connected with local public transportation.

The Nasu Kaido is a famous and really scenic road that goes from the lowlands of Nasu town all the way up to the Nasu mountains, and it's beautiful to drive up - if you have a car. The road is a two lane highway that (in Summer) is very busy and not intended for bicycle or pedestrian use when you get to the uphill portions of the road, so be sure to use a vehicle or public transportation if you want to go further up it. The public transportation options are present - you can take the Shinkansen to NasuShiobara Station, then take the bus to the Nasu Mountain Ropeway, then take the ropeway to the near top of one of the mountain peaks and hike from there. It's a good venture, though if you try it on the weekend, be sure to check when the last buses operate, or else you might have to take a taxi.
