"A hidden gem. "

"This was our third stay at Asaka Hotel Kinugawa Onsen, and once again, it didn’t disappoint. We booked a two-night stay purely for relaxation, and it was exactly what we needed. The buffet breakfast and dinner continue to impress us with their sumptuous spread—a wonderful balance of local flavors and variety. Every meal feels like a culinary treat that elevates the whole experience. One of the highlights for my wife is the in-room onsen, filled with natural hot springs water. She truly enjoys the privacy and comfort of soaking right in our room. As for me, I took full advantage of the public baths, which are always immaculately clean and well-maintained. It’s clear the staff takes pride in ensuring a serene and hygienic environment for all guests. Asaka Hotel has become a special place for us, and we look forward to returning again."

"Attractive retro look of first floor and large room! Good selection of food options and the pretty view from the room. Enjoyed wearing the complimentary yukata and jacket."

"The beds were very thin mats on the floor with the worst pillows ever and terrible duvets, more like a quilt in an exposed duvet cover. The room was large but empty. After a long day of taking multiple trains I could have cried. It was pretty much like sleeping on the floor, with sketchy bedding, two sparse threaded towels, the toilet didn’t flush very good and the bidet sprayed water on the floor. It was the worst room I’ve ever stayed at and yet paid $370 Yen for one night. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else!!"

"Ryokan was ok but no open restaurants nearby worth it. Place too far from Nikko main attractions."

"The view from our room was amazing and the surrounding area had a lot of amazing views. Will be staying here again on my next japan trip"

"I found this Onsen and an excellent offer from Expedia. I wasn’t sure what to expect at such a low price and some mixed reviews. I loved it here and it exceeded my expectations. I dropped off my luggage early and walked the area until check in. Since it is across the river and a bit of a walk from the train station, it was so peaceful and beautiful away from others. I found a town footpath that overlooked the river gorge, a suspension bridge, and interesting decaying resorts from the economic boom downfall of the 90’s. A photographers’ paradise. The resort seems to be going through a renovation. The room was very large and had living spaces with tatami mats. Oh yes, your room key opens a wooden locker near reception for you to place your shoes- wear socks. Beds were not futons but mattresses on floor. The mini fridge was great. I didn’t even use the bath in the room because the onsen was clean and wonderful. An outdoor bath looks out on a wooded area and is divine. The shower area has great hair and soap products. I had difficulty finding it at first because the instructions are a bit vague with arrows, but if you look for the out building next to and behind you’ll find it easily. Had to walk on plywood boards placed for the renovation and a rock path up to step so be aware. Yukata and slippers are provided. There are two massage chairs and multiple vending machines. I highly recommend staying here. "

"Really good value for money, Japan accommodation is not cheap. this was very good for our family. Private Onsen is a nice touch too. Definitely recommend."

"Nice and quiet hotel, good hot spring"
