Had a delightful one night stay here. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and even drove us to the station, helped us drop bags and then drove us to the shrine the morning after.

I selected this place because I read other reviews about the eclectic unique nature of the hotel and atmosphere. I wasn’t disappointed, in fact it exceeded my expectations in every way. The moment you arrive and are greeted warmly by the staff and handed a free drink of your choice, sets the tone for a wonderful experience ahead. The room was huge, warm, comfortable and very special in its minute details of architecture. We chose a river view room and I would highly recommend doing so as the massive picture window overlooks the forest and mountains and is simply breathtaking in the morning sunrise. This hotel was designed with careful thought given to every detail in its creation, with the mindset of creating a restful respite from the modern busy world we live in today. It has achieved this goal in my opinion and then some. We had the honour and pleasure of meeting the architect the second day we stayed and had a conversation with him about his wonderful hotel, he is such a joy to speak with. The food was also an absolute delight, huge filling and varied items at breakfast, and sumptuous selections and pairings at dinner. The staff are The best of anywhere we have stayed so far in Japan, and are gracious and smiling all the time. We speak very limited Japanese but this was never a problem so don’t worry about this as a barrier for coming here. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back and I was sorry I had to leave. This hotel, and Nikko is such a special beautiful place everyone should see it once if they can. Thank you shelter garden and staff for allowing me to have such a warm, restful and wonderful stay at your gorgeous hotel, and thank you so much for all your warmth and hospitality.

The host and staff were extremely kind and helpful. Since it was raining at my arrival, they were kind enough to pick me up at the station even without me asking. Riye, in particular was very sweet and explained me everything from food to customs. The room was amazing it really felt like going back to Edo period. The food was delicious both during breakfast and dinner. Obviously the onsen was cosy and relaxing. This was among my favourite stays in Japan. Thank you so much to all the staff!

We enjoyed our stay at Kanaya Hotel Kinugawa. The hotel is well maintained and the staff are all very friendly and helpful and tried their best to ensure that you have an enjoyable stay. We would like to especially thank Emi from the Teppanyaki restaurant for going out of her way to prepare for us the transportation information to get to Chuzenji Lake, our destination the next day. Also, thank you to Fuchigami san who made us feel very welcome and picked us up & dropped us off at the train station (although it was a short distance from the hotel).

    Kinugawa Park Hotels is a nice Japanese-style inn with large and comfortable rooms offering both European beds as well as Tatami mats. The Onsen public baths are a bit dated, but well laid out and a nice experience.

    Rooms are very big and comfy, onsen is small but very nice to enjoy. Nikko is quiet and calm and so was this location. Breakfast included was the right choice because it‘s hard to find something to eat nearby especially in the morning. Ryokan is amazingly beautiful and futon was adequate.

    Beautiful views, warm welcome, comfortable futon, and overall nice japanese style room. I loved the yukata that we received, and I was extremely happy with the onsen. The lobby area is very nice, i appreciated that we could leave the luggage there. The area itself is also very enjoyable and walkable, and the accommodation is also close to the station.
