Need to know what to do in order to fully enjoy”
We took train from Ueno through Urawa to Kinugawa Onsen Station. It is about two and a half hours ride. The Hotel is very good even with signs of aging. Hotel staff is very friendly. The Hotel itself is located in the center of the hot springs; it is about 5 minutes driving (18 minutes walking) from the Kinugawa Onsen Station. There are scheduled buses in between so make sure you know the bus schedule before you go. The hotel room includes dinner and breakfast; exotic drinks and alcohols are extra. Both meals are buffet and wonderful. The only thing is that they are all the same each day so you will be bored if you stayed more than two days. The hot springs are all great and switch man/woman location every day. It is about 50 minutes drive to Nikko with scheduled bus. There are also trains. So spend a day in Nikko area and come back for hot spring in the evening is very good. We spent two nights in this hotel and had a good time.

Good hotel with great staff”
Location is bit far away, but local buses help much in shuttling guests from hotels to station in certain hours. Staffs are extremely helpful and polite👍👍👍. Buffet breakfasts and dinners are with a lot of variety and good quality. Onsen facilities are good. However, room is smaller than expected and needs renovation. View is minimal.

We stayed 4 nights in Kinugawa Onsen hotel. Location if quite far from major tourist attraction. But again, this place is an Onsen place. Japanese people go to Kinugawa to enjoy Onsen and have a quiet vacation. If you want a relaxing vacation and enjoy good food, I recommend this place. Breakfast and dinner are served buffet style, so you can eat your heart's delight. I personally enjoyed bluefin tuna sashimi everyday. Their steak was good and their ice cream and desserts were exceptionally delicious On our 3rd day, we were surprised we were served grilled lobsters and on the 4th day of dinner, we were served Crab sashimi. Both were so good. By the way, we celebrated my wife's birthday and the staff sang to my wife and they gave her a special gift . Well appreciated. Special mention to the restaurant staff named APRIL. She works fast and she recommended to us places to visit in Kinugawa. Very lucky to have a person working for your hotel.

The hotel has open for many years, but they maintain to be newly look. They have a lot of facility especially onsen and dinner buffet/breakfast which is something you cannot miss, so variety, plenty and delicious unfortunately time limit is 90minute. The parking lot is quite far but hotel has shuttle bus to take you there. It took 45 minutes driving from nikko to this hotel. (They have free shuttle between the train station) Two things to complain - Even room looks clean but air condition is so dusty. - They has onsen tax exclude but very cheap(150Yen/person).

easy to access the hotel from kinugawa station by taxi only 5 minutes and pay about 800 yen. Onsen in hotel was nice, but not too much type for my choice. The breakfast and dinner are buffet superb, many dishes and delicious.

Genuine Japanese hospitality and the best onsen experience”
The hotel has one of the best location in Kunigawa! Sitting right above the Kunigawa gorge, each room has a spectacular view of the gorge below. Topping that with beautiful mountains surrounding then you have a perfect dream like room for a relaxing weekend outing or romantic get away! The wooden floor room is large with traditional Japanese ryokan settings! The best about this place is its exceptional service and charming hospitality. Guests feel welcome right away the moment you step off the shuttle! Of course. people come here for its famous onsen so this is The place to experience onsen in all Japan! The resort also offers half and full boarding so the food served here was so fresh and highly nutritious. The hotel locates right at the center of town so it's within walking distance to near by restaurants. It's a small town so the atmosphere was so peaceful and relaxing!

Very relaxing”
The hotel was very nice and clean. The area is very quiet. It is easy to get to Nikko, but you have to be willing to walk to the train station and be aware that the trains are much less frequent than in other parts of Japan (once per hour). It is most convenient if you bring your own car. They had a nice buffet with a wide variety of food and there was always evening entertainment in the lobby. The private onsens are excellent. We would stay there again if we went to the area.

Traditional Japanese Onsen Hotel”
This hotel is a very traditional japanese onsen hotel located just besides the Kinugawa River. Our room has a great view overseeing the river and mountain. Rooms are equipped with Tatami beds and Japanese Rayon Robes are provided for adults and children. Communal onsen hot spring bath facilities are located at 4th level (separate facilities for men and women). This hotel provides great traditional Japanese buffet breakfast and dinner for half-board visitors. Most of the food are sourced from fresh local produce. The spring egg and the Japanese rice from Tochigi Prefecture are a must try. Overall, this is great place for those looking for a zen retreat. However, they charged the meals separatedly for my 2 daughters even though both of them are below 4 years. Hotel staffs speak very little English.

Hotel located far away from nikko station then you can take tohuku nikko line and stop at kinukawa onsen station. Dinner and breakfast are very good.

Good Hotel ”
We travel from Tokyo take around 2hrs to reach the hotel, so tired lucky the room is big, transport convenience as public bus will stop at the hotel. Dinner and breakfast was good, we stay for two night we thought the food will be same, which is not a few dishes was different and yummy! We book a private Onsen and tried public also very good. The public bus will going around tourist sport so just follow the time back to hotel.

Nice onsen experience”
Everything was perfect. Nothing to complain. Really recommend to those who look for an onsen hotel with reasonable price. I love onsen here. Also don't forget to ask for a room with river view.

A comfortable stop in a dying town”
Everything from check-in to check out was fantastic. As with all hotels, onsens, and ryokans in Japan, anyone who has even thought about working at a hotel is the absolute definition of hospitality. The hospitality is one of the many reasons I have and will go back to Japan until I can live there.
