Limited train service to the area and no taxis. Food service and onsen were excellent, after they initially could not find our reservation. ##### Ann Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Younsoo Jan 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great Onsen Ryokan! I meant to book Nikko but ended up booking here by mistake but I feel like I found another great Onsen Ryokan! Transportation was bit inconvenient and communication about the shuttle bus to the station was amiss but overall, this place was a great place to get away and to rest and enjoy the natural springs and the nature. ##### Younsoo ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruoran Apr 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely 5-star service, great environment, our room was facing the mountains, giving us a calm and relaxing vibe, the hot spring experience was amazing with tasty lemon water, tea and popsicles. Definitely get the half board option, great food with a good variety each day, and there aren't many restaurants nearby. Amenities were kinda old but super clean. ##### Ruoran Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine Jun 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were the only foreigners at this very cool onsen inn. The meals( halfboard) were very fancy and very Japanese, which was fun for us as a family. Our Japanese-style room with tatami mats, a living area, balcony overlooking the river was comfortable and relaxing. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We loved our waiter, Tiger or Tiga, most of all. It was about 45 minutes drive to the main shrine in Nikko, and we found a nice hike in a canyon near our inn the second day. Three nights felt like the right amount of time to stay before moving on. ##### Katherine Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Terry Dec 2, 2023 It's our fault for booking a non-refundable hotel but given our cat got a blood clot and required daily supervision, we had to cancel our trip. Hoshino Resorts KAI Kawaji, with almost a month in advance, did not care about our situation and wouldn't even give us a voucher to reschedule and happily pocketed our $700. Again, it is our fault, but we will not do business with non-refundable hotels again. Lesson learned. ##### Terry Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy Oct 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is amazing! The view from my room was why I initially chose this ryokan, and the outside onsen is a must. The foot bath was a lovely surprise as it gives you a breathtaking view of the running stream and mountains in the distance. The half board was the best I’ve ever had—such thoughtful flavors (I especially liked the pickles)! Plus, the people are so nice here! (I was happy to hear there was a shuttle offered to go back to the Kawaji Yumoto train station though I did walk about 11 minutes going.) I would definitely come back to this ryokan if I’m ever in the Nikko area again. Thank you so much! Some things to note: there are some medium sized flying bugs that will glue themselves to the sliding door. Be careful opening/closing the door if you don’t want them to get in. (I hate bugs but I reminded myself that I am in nature and visiting their territory. ;p) Also, my intended train going back to Tokyo from Kawaji Yumoto was fully booked, so the station agent explained that I had to transfer a few times to get back to Tokyo. A minor inconvenience since I arrived 40 minutes later than my intended time. Not a lot of trains come through though, so you might want to keep this in mind when booking your stay. ##### Amy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Ruben Oct 11, 2024 ##### Ruben Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### yee lan Aug 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### yee lan Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren Jun 26, 2024 ##### Lauren Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wing Yee Jun 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 很好 ##### Wing Yee Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chi Wai Mar 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 溫泉非常好，環境十分舒適，員工服務態度非常好 ##### Chi Wai Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chun-Nan Mar 8, 2024 ##### Chun-Nan Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simone Jan 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing experience - food, onsen and experiences (such as paper making)! Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The place is really stunning, especially at night where the atmosphere is just incredible. In particular, bathing in their open air onsen while snowing was just a dream. We loved every second! A suggestion to travellers from Tokyo: the most convenient way to get there (despite what google maps says) is the Tobu line service from Asakusa station to Kinagawaonsen, changing with a local service to Kawajii-Yumoto (the hotel will pick you up at the station). It may be slightly longer than other options but it’s very comfortable and easy. ##### Simone Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### HYUNJEONG Jan 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### HYUNJEONG Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Roslyn, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Roslyn-Hotels-The-Roslyn.h21238.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Jamaica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Jamaica-Family-Hotel.0-0-d88-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Steam Plant Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Spokane-Hotels-Steam-Plant-Hotel.h117258.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Brandon by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Brandon-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Brandon.h48305364.Hotel-Information) > > [Green Oaks Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Green-Oaks-Bed-And-Breakfast.h2655829.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Puerto Los Cabos - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Cabos-Hotels-Secrets-Puerto-Los-Cabos-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h6231689.Hotel-Information) > > [Caesars Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Caesars-Palace-Resort-Casino.h41245.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Rome](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Rome.h23489.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Toronto.h14358.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Shelby](https://www.expedia.ca/Shelby-Hotels.d55190.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Best Western Plus Fox Creek](https://www.expedia.ca/Fox-Creek-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Fox-Creek.h7672782.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YTZ) to Columbus (CMH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ytz/cmh/toronto-to-columbus) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cun/toronto-to-cancun) > > [Volaris](https://www.expedia.ca/Volaris-Flights.cY4.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Seeduwa - Katunayake (CMB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/cmb/edmonton-to-colombo) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mia/toronto-to-miami) > > [Flights from Seattle (SEA) to New York (JFK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/jfk/seattle-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Riyadh (RUH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ruh/vancouver-to-riyadh) > > [Flights from Doha (DOH) to Jeddah (JED)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/doh/jed/doha-to-jeddah) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyz/edmonton-to-toronto) > > [FlexFlight](https://www.expedia.ca/FlexFlight-Flights.cW2.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Packages > [Türkiye Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Turkiye.d183.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Cambodia Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cambodia.d29.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) > > [Orlando Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando.d178294.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Vaitape](https://www.expedia.ca/Vaitape.dx6047682) > > [Visit Parrsboro](https://www.expedia.ca/Parrsboro.dx181858)
