The diiner was very good and in an authentic Japabnese style

The size and the environment of the onsen is just OK.

Diner, breakfast, onsen and private onsen

Nothing, all was good.

A 15 minuti a piedi dalla stazione di Kinugawaonsen, dalla quale si può raggiungere le principali attrazioni di Nikko in 50 minuti. Personale gentilissimo, camera stile giapponese con tutti i comfort possibili, cena e colazione incluse ed abbondantissime con cibo del posto e possibilità di prenotare i bagni termali privati. Ci siamo sentiti più che coccolati

Intorno c’è poco o niente, abbiamo prenotato una notte per provare l’esperienza del ryokan e come appoggio per visitare i templi di Nikko

I absolutely loved the open-air bath, although I initially thought it would have onsen water. It was amazing that the water's temperature is maintained at all times. It had gotten to hot at some point and I had to ask the staff to adjust it.

The building was a bit run-down, and the rooms just felt old and not super clean. I had someone from the station call the hotel to pick us up, but they told us the shuttle service from the train station was only from after check-out and they wouldn't accommodate when we arrived earlier. While this was reasonable, we saw the shuttle pass us on our walk to the ryokan as they were dropping off people. I felt snubbed and it left a stain on the rest of the stay. The service was mostly friendly, but the meals felt rushed and there was little care to attention. The food itself was also not great, which I was really disappointed about, as the kaiseki meals are such a big part of a ryokan stay. Dinner was really lackluster, but breakfast was slightly better. The fish served during both meals were dry, cold, and too salty. Most of the food lacked flavor, while they were nicely presented.
