雰囲気、接客、お料理、設備は古いものもありましたがとても清潔感がありました。
ありません
古民家ふうで良かったです
ホテル内が段差だらけでした
食事 朝夕の味噌汁の味 ひげソリ 部屋、風呂場にはなかった チェックアウ ト時カウンターに小さい紙に『ご利用時お知らせ下さい』わからない 各部屋に置くと良い
温泉がついているお部屋で、いつでも入れるのが最高でした 内装もおしゃれなカフェのようで、住みたいと思いました。
子供がバイキングが好きなものですから、朝食が ウインナーなど、いろいろな種類がバイキングで食べられたら良かったようでした。わたしは大変美味しくいただきました。
Beautiful spot, surrounded by nature. The staff is amazing, trying the best to make you feel comfortable. The baths are a bliss.
C est un ryokan ancien et plein de charme. Nous y étions en août. C’était parfait car plus frais qu à Tokyo. Nous avions une chambre avec onsen privé. La vue sur la rivière et les montagnes est apaisante et invite au calme. Les onsens publics sont classiques. Nous avons apprécié la petite boutique sur place. Les galettes de riz sont excellentes. Personnel international. Nous avons même échangé avec des français ! Niveau repas le dîner est titanesque et la grillade au feu de bois très original de même que la bière ou la saké chaud de bambou. De plus le cadre et le fait de traverser un pont de singe pour atteindre le restaurant ajoute du caractère.
Le petit déjeuner n’est pas exceptionnel. Pas de café disponible. Il y a du café à l’entrée mais de qualité médiocre. Rien avoir dans les alentours. Il faut vraiment y aller pour se reposer sur place. Deux nuits est un bon compromis pour vraiment profiter du lieu. L’accès est long depuis Tokyo et même pour retourner à Nikko et à la gare de yunishigawa on ne comprend pas grand chose. Il faut prendre le bus devant la gare qui nous amène directement devant l’hôtel.
Interiour design, historic charm, wooden brige, private bath, dinner concept.
The breakfast location falls a bit behind the great dinner location
L'authenticité historique du ryokan se sentait à tout coin. Même les sols qui grincent un peu ou les portes que ne se ferment pas correctement ajoutaient au charme.
Rien vraiment; on y vient sachant que c'est un ryokan ancien et ça répondait exactement à ces expectations. En plus, le service était impeccable.
Un lieu magique dans la nature avec vue sur la rivière et onsen public et privé (en supplément). Un repas hallucinant tant en qualité que quantité (bien trop d'ailleurs). Un personnel très accueillant!
L'accès un peu lointain mais en voiture cela n'est pas vraiment un problème car on en profité pour visiter le coin.
Die Lage ist traumhaft, die Reise mit Bahn und Bus muss als Sightseeing gesehen werden. Das Gebäude ist historisch und atmet Geschichte. Wenn man über den Fluss in die Bäume schaut, ist man in einer ganz anderen Welt. Das Dinner im Yukata war ein wirkliches Erlebnis, dass ich für immer als große Besonderheit in Erinnerung behalten werde.
Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Bad gebucht, hier war es zwar sauber, aber einiges könnte erneuert werden.
Vous allez vivre une expérience traditionnelle gastronomique. Les repas sont soigneusement préparer et très variés. Ceux qui n'aime pas goûter et on peur des textures s'abstenir. L'environnement est très relaxant.
Les lits et oreillers sont assez ferme mais pas la fin du monde!
L’accueil et les attentions du personnel étaient impeccables, les plats étaient excellents, le confort de la chambre, la vue et le calme. Tout était absolument parfait.
Our room was enormous and we had our own onsen. The onsen was wonderful, opening out just above the river. Walking across the bridge to dinner was magical. Food was traditional and cooking over the fire was a great experience. Staff were attentive.
This property was a challenge to get to by public transport. We went in winter when the village had a snow festival which gave us an activity after dinner, otherwise there is not a lot to do. Enjoying our room and the onsen was really the point of the stay though.
The Ryokan dates back to 1666 when it opened. The same family runs a top notch Ryokan.
It was traditional Japanese. If you want to experience Samurai facilities and meals, this is the place. A little hard to get to but the destination is worth the effort. Plan ahead.
This place is more than a hotel, it’s an experience!! The place transported us back in time and the staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The whole experience was extremely special.
Le lieu, la nourriture, la gentillesse du personnel
Amazing place, views to the river, dinner place, the Bridge, very authentic Ryokan, very kind staff and a different and very special experience for dinner.
Room is big but not really confortable, sleeping in the floor and lack of basic furniture to place the suitcase etc, not good for my back. I had pain the 2 days. Very old installations (bathroom mainly). One night would have suffice to live the experience. Breakfast is probably very authentic but not for all tastes (a few alternativas could have been offered). Too far from Nikko (one hour by car).
For tourist it is a unique experience the hotel is on the river and the facility kept at the original state 1600 century we love it and recommend for full relaxation
The walls are very thin and you can her nosiness from the other rooms
Amazing experience and wonderful staff.
It took a while for us to travel there and coordinate the buses and trains too. It was worth it in the end.
If you are looking for a classic onsen near Nikko then this is your place. It's located in the mountains so it's a bit of a trek but well worth it. It's historic. We had a room on the river with its own private bath. Dinner was amazing served on the other side of the river, which was accessed by a suspension bridge. Everyone dressed in classic wear. Breakfast was also Japanese style.
The onsen is quite further than we thought which meant we had to leave Nikko by 4.30 pm to make it for dinner at 6pm. Well worth an overnight away from Tokyo.
Das private Onsen und das Abendessen sowie das nette Personal.
Alles in den Zimmern schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen für den Preis.
An unforgettable experience. Everything here is carefully attended to in every detail; anything you might need is provided—and even more! It was my first onsen, and it was a wonderful experience. In this place, you are immersed in tradition in a truly poetic way.
The food is a bit unusual, with flavors and textures that may not suit a Western palate, but that’s part of the experience!
le cadre et l'établissement. le cadre est incroyable
les serviettes de toilettes insuffisantes. Eclairage qui manque de chaleur dans la chambre
Le repas était incroyable La vue était superbe L’accueil, la chambre les onsen tout était parfait Je recommande les yeux fermés !
素敵な宿で入ってから何から何までが素晴らしかった。 景色と建物がとっても素敵でご飯もとっても美味しかったです。 夢のような宿でした。 温泉もすべすべになって体の疲れも取れました。 リピします🤍
風情があってよかった
客室露天風呂付きのお部屋を予約していたのですが、ブラインドが故障しており外から見えてしまう状態だったため、露天風呂を利用することができませんでした。
Le cadre est absolument parfait ! L’impression de faire une pause hors du temps.
Tout était parfait , logement traditionnel, avec onsen privé . Personnel à l écoute , chaleureux
Great atmosphere
The hotel promoted an light event in the town in the evening but it was not worth going out for - limited light display one of which required an entry fee.
Warm welcome, comfortable lobby, lovely room with view over the river, excellent public baths, private bath well worth the reservation and small fee.
Magnifique établissement niché au bord des montagnes japonaises. Nous avons eu la chance de voir de la neige et des singes. Le personnel est très accueillant et bienveillant. L’onsen extérieur est très beau. Le dîner était aussi exceptionnel ! Une immersion 100% japonaise en portant des yukata.
Tout était parfait ! Mais noter que l’établissement est excentré de la ville (c’est ce qui permets d’avoir des paysages magnifiques). Pour venir, nous avons pris un taxi pendant 1h depuis le centre de Nikko. Pour rentrer, nous avons pris un bus (45 min) qui passe au pied de l’hôtel, puis deux trains pour un retour vers Nikko Station.
Lovely bridge over the river takes you to dinner. Wonderful to experience such a historic place.
They weren't able to make subsitutions if you have a shellfish allergy so eating is a bit tricky. Everyone is lovely, however. It's pretty far off the beaten path...It was a trek out there (which could be perfect if you plan for it) but it took me a full day of trains, planes and automobiles to leave and get back to Tokyo.
This is our third visit and the second time staying in room with a private onsen. The dinner is always amazing with a traditional irori sunken hearth.
More snow :)
Endroit somptueux, tout est absolument magnifique, et pensé pour la relaxation et l'apaisement. On peut contempler la nature en buvant un café au bord de la baie vitrée. Les onsen sont superbes, avec option privative payante pour les couples qui est très bien !
Malgré un repas quand même de très grande qualité, nous n'avons pas été spécialement bluffé par le dîner.
Lovely location with great traditional service. The food was excellent. The hot Japanese bath was the highlight of the trip - most relaxing.
Breakfast area was cold.
人間味あふれる雰囲気
全体的に気に入りました
อาหาร และบรรยากาศ มีรถบัสจากสถานีตามรอบ
The location, the architecture, the atmosphere and the staff. Having my own private hot spring bath.
Dinner times at 6 pm were a bit early, I would have preferred 7 pm.
バリアフリーにならない階段や足元の悪い廊下では、近くにいるスタッフが笑顔で介助してくださってとても良かった。 吊り橋と長い階段を歩かなければならない囲炉裏食事処へは、スタッフが車で送迎してくださって助かりました。 夕食はバイキング料理とは違い、温かい料理と冷たい料理が出来上がり次第、配膳されるので食材のおいしさが味わえました。
大浴場と露天風呂へ行くにも階段があって、ここにはスタッフも目が届かないので、転倒には気をつけなければいけない。 浴衣の丈が長くて踏んでしまいそうになって、つまずかないように気を使う必要があった。 どちらともいえないが、時計がない時間が過ごせること。
The whole experience at this 300 year old ryokan was magical. Our room with the private onsen was so comfortable and we were lucky enough to get snow on our final morning even though it wasn’t forecasted. Sitting in the onsen while it snowed outside is a memory I will be forever grateful for. The food was also excellent and the staff were so attentive and kind.
Very traditional and full of character
Perhaps a little dated in some areas such as the loo!
宿の正面玄関も雰囲気があってすぐに感激しましたし、建物の中も全てすぐに気に入ってしまいました。食事も美味しいし、ボリュームもすごくあって、囲炉裏で食べる楽しみもあり、終始最高の気分でした。従業員の方々もとても素敵でしたし、親切でした。外国人の方が従業員の半数くらいいらっしゃって、一生懸命で本当にcuteでした。とにかく全て良かったです。
特になかったです。
La gentillesse et serviabilité du personnel le restaurant typique
Les chambres étaient très mal isolées
地元の食材中心の食事がとても美味しかった スタッフの対応が気持ち良かった ドリンクサービスが良かった 温泉がすごく良かった
部屋から風呂までの移動がバリアフリーでなく辛かった 冷蔵庫があまり冷えない、アイスが溶けてしまった アイスの自販機があれば良かった
半露天風呂付きのお部屋に泊まり、いつでもお風呂に入れたのが最高でした!夜ご飯と朝ごはんがとてもおいしかったです。
お部屋に鈴虫?がいたのか、夜ずっとリンリン鳴いていて少しうるさくて寝られなかったです…
역사와 전통있는 료칸에서의 이틀밤이 너무 행복했습니다. 식사와 잠자리 모두 훌륭하고 온천물도 좋고 눈내린 료칸의 경치가 일품이었습니다. 직원분들도 매우 친절하고 정중하며 손님 한분한분에게 마음으로 신경써 주시는 모습이 감동적이었습니다. 주변동네는 매우 조용한 동네이므로 근처에서 크게 즐길거리는 없고 기누가와온천까지 나가야 테마파크라든지 즐길것들이 있습니다. 온전한 휴식의 여행으로 매우 좋았습니다.
다만 가는길은 송영차량이없고 환승이 많고 버스비도 비싸서 렌트를 하시는것이 훨씬 도움이 될것같습니다.
Het eten was echt heel lekker en leuk om te doen. We hadden ook een fijne serveerster. De lobby en prive onsen zijn ook echt heel mooi en leuk. Ook het personeel is heel behulpzaam en lief. (Op 1 na) We hadden een lange dag achter de rug en waren moe en wilde even slapen, maar onze futon bedden waren nog niet opgemaakt. Nadat wij aan de receptie vroegen hoe dit moest gingen ze dit direct voor ons doen. Was erg prettig.
Toen wij in de prive onsen zijn gegaan. 45 min voor 2200 yen, wilde wij graag extra handen doeken hebben om ons af te drogen. Hiervoor moesten wij 350 yen per handdoek voor betalen. Ook is geadverteerd met een prive bad op de kamer. Dit was gewoon een normaal bad. Ter vergelijking: In onze reis naar japan hebben wij 15 hotels gehad die allemaal een bad hadden en niet hiermee adverteerde, de verwachtingen van ons waren hierdoor hoger dan wat er was, maar dit was gewoon schandalig. Ook was de douche en waterdruk erg slecht. Het was een relatief klein bad. Maar dit duurde zo lang om te vullen dat ik er niet eens in ben gegaan omdat ik niet zo lang wilde wachten. Wij hadden ook de kamer links boven de hangbrug en we hadden regelmatig als er ergens een deur open of dicht ging. Dat alle deuren en ramen bij ons trilde. Ook toen wij de futon bedden zelf probeerde op te maken en dit ons niet helemaal goed lukte voelde dit vies aan en zagen we wat vlekken. Ook zaten er kuilen in de futons.
We loved the Friendliness of the staff, the property itself, the traditional dinner and the breakfast . We also liked the Onsen very much, though not very large, it was adequate for the number of guests around at that time. We visited to see the autumn colours, though it was a bit late, we still got to see some of the vibrant colours at Nikkoo and in and around Honke Bankyu itself.
Though we had told them beforehand that we were explicitly Vegetarian, they served some Non-vegetarian food, which after my wife had started eating, they quickly apologized and replaced with Vegetarian.
Different types of onsen styles, traditional dinner, ambiance and hospitality of staff
Location is a bit difficult if you don't have a car. That said, it made for a serene stay.

寒さ対策
Beautiful scenery, historic property, and very attentive staff. Traveling with children to ryokans is not easy, but they did a phenomenal job ensuring we weren’t too much of a bother to the other guests.
