Great Onsen!
Reviewed By patrickperbkkWe came to the hotel for a public onsen while visiting Nikko. The hotel looks a bit outdated form the outside, but was on when visiting inside the hotel. It's a great experience with the Japanese traditional bath for the first time. Staff was polite and helpful. We visited there on a weekday afternoon, no people:-)

Extraordinary dinner and breakfast, comfortable rooms and a lounge.
Reviewed By rixxiVery far from Kinugawa hot spring station, 1.5 hours local bus and 30min shuttle bus by this ryokan. We went to this place for 2-days family reunion at early April. We enjoyed absolutely fantastic Japanese dish at every evening and morning. I cannot admire enough these delicious foods which are not soy-sauce-full, Kanto-like taste. On the second day, menus differed from the first day (dinners and breakfast). Rooms and the lounge are also comfy. We spent plenty of time In the lounge, enjoyed reading (as we planned), "gomokunarabe", and free massage chair. There was also a "Shogi-ban". Even though the snow was piling up outside, the wood stove warmed the lounge enough. The hotel stuff (most of them are from other Asian countries) work enthusiastically. We shall return!

Decent hotel for Nikko tour
Reviewed By anned0201Rather old but quite big hotel with nice and various food buffet style breakfast and dinner. Quite convenient location. Dial bus going to the station and local theme parks is available. Friendly and helpful staff. Room interior and its facilities are quite old styled, especially safe and fridge. Old tobacco smell inside the room is irritating. Indoor and outdoor spa are disappointing, very small and not really worth attending.

A Memorable Ryokan Stay
Reviewed By sohlman33Hotel Hanaan was a great location to stay to visit nearby Nikko and as a car enthusiast it was a welcome location to be right at the top of Irohazaka. We had a room with a private onsen and the room was always well kept and had ample space. The views were spectacular of Lake Chuzenji and the Torii gate over the village. Honestly I was hopeful for the nearby restaurants but most of the ones within walking distance were a bit subpar and we had better luck at the bottom of the mountain. The food served in the ryokan was as expected and as someone who doesn't eat a lot of sea food, they did go above and beyond to make sure I still had something for me to eat while my wife ate and enjoyed the standard menu. The staff was friendly and we were able to get by on English. Overall it was a very memorable experience and probably one of the nicer rooms we've stayed in during our trips to Japan. This review is a bit late and we were really there in November 2019 - keep in mind that it does get colder and the foliage falls a lot sooner at that top than down below. So while Nikko was gorgeous, up at the lake it was definitely past it's peak and I wish we had gone a couple weeks earlier.

Amazing view and excellent service
Reviewed By Venusian2000I stayed at this inn with my friend in Nov 2019. As soon as you step in the inn, the nice smell of incense welcomes you. In the lounge, you first have some tea and sweets. The entire building is not very large, but all rooms face the river and the creek through large picture windows. The staff was all very nice, polite, kind, friendly, and helpful. Traditional Japanese meals were just fantastic both dinner and breakfast, which you eat at the privately sectioned eating areas on the ground level. Hot spring bath was cozy but clean and comfortable. I really enjoyed this inn. The only thing I want to warn is that this inn is not located in the center of the hot spring village, and you need to get on the bus for a few stops unless you have your own car. 松楓楼松屋の宿泊は思い出に残る心地よいものでした。2019年11月に友人と一泊しましたが、旅館内に一歩入ると優しいお香の匂いがします。大きな建物ではありませんが、一面がすべて川と渓谷に面していてまずラウンジでその風景に感激します。スタッフの方々は皆さんとても親切で丁寧で、大変気持ちよく滞在できました。一階でのお食事も夕食・朝食ともに満足しましたし、温泉も大変気持ちよかったです。あまり大きな旅館ではないので、個人的にはそれが気に入りました。ただひとつ注意しておきたいことは、この旅館は塩原温泉の中心街からは少し離れていて、中心街へ行くには自家用車またはバスを利用しなくてはならないということです。遠いわけではありませんが、徒歩圏内ではありません。私達はバスを利用しました。

Lovely onsen and experience
Reviewed By DCTravelers69We stayed here with our three young children, ages 5, 8 and 10. All five of us thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. We stayed in a traditional Japanese room which was quite comfortable in the family room with plenty of space for all of our futons. We enjoyed the Onsen so much! We were there for our first time so we just watched what others did. The staff there were remarkable! They helped to make our stay lovely, conversed with our kids and gave them presents. We loved being able to pick out our yukatas--we are big fans! The entire hotel was spotless. Highly recommend!!! It's a gorgeous setting in the mountains. There is also a good restaurant a short walk away.

3.5 based on 32 reviews
In the cafe on the first floor, there is an open hearth space and a relaxation space. One of the attractions is accommodation from 3,000 yen per night, all rooms with lake view. A coin launderette is also provided for long-term stays. While watching the beautiful scenery that changes from season to season, spend time slowly flowing. Walking distance to sightseeing spots of World Heritage.
Disappointing
Reviewed By 105margauxbI stayed a night in the dormitories of Simplest Nikko, in August 2020. Dormitories are all-new so I was expecting something nice. Location is also really nice, 10 m from the lake. But I was very disappointed. - Check In : very poor organisation, waited 30 min. Only one person to check-in several families. - Bed : I paid way too much for dormitories where you have to basically do your ENTIRE bed. The futon quality is bad, the sheets are not very nice at touch. - Baths (public) : The inner-bath has a very strong suffer smell. Be prepared. The outside bath was disgusting. The water was green instead of blue. Seaweed on the bottom of the bath at some places. Hair floating etc. - Wifi : The dormitories have 6 Wi-Fi hotspots. None of them was working from my bed until 10pm. - Breakfast : Definitely not worth the 1,100y. - Shared area dormitories : No efforts put in this area : so depressing / gloom. Overall : non very professional. Way too expensive for what it is.

"Ryhotel", traditional ryokan ambiance with modern hotel convenience
Reviewed By levelgreenithacaMy family stayed here two nights and enjoyed it very much. The onset was lovely and relaxing after a day of walking in the mountains. If one is comfortable sleeping on a futon on tatami flooring, it was fun to have everyone together in one room. The food was incredible - one dinner had 23 separate items! The staff were welcoming and went out of their way to see that all our needs were met. I don't understand the other reviews at all! I wish we'd had one more day, to take a kayak down the river that flows below the hotel.
