Great place to stay room was spacious private onsen is a must if you are going. The only complaint is that the hotel can get over crowded and the food was not that great although there is plenty of options.
Interior of the hotel was excellent. The staff was excellent also. Our room was very nice with lots of room but we did have a room with a private onsen. We had a room with a view of the river which was nice but several abandoned buildings along the river.
Magical experience. Extremely clean. Very friendly and professional staff. Perfect breakfast and dinner buffet. Very nice atmosphere. Out of the 12 hotels on our trip, mostly 4 - 5 star, this was the one that we liked the best.
A great place to stay. We enjoyed the 3 days we spent here. Our room was exceptional with a private onsen overlooking the river and the mountains. The food choices were varied including western meals, Japanese meals and Chinese meals. The hotel is located away from any other amenities and a taxi or the hotel bus has to be taken to go to any sights.
This was our second stay at Asaya and we booked a suite with in-room hot springs bath. We enjoyed both public and private baths. There is nothing much to do close by, so we chose to stay back in the hotel, enjoying onsen, relaxation and their award winning breakfast and dinner buffets! Fabulous staff and service, as expected of Japanese hospitality!
Great place to relax. They have three public onsen baths and we booked a suite with in-room hot springs bath. There is no much to do around the hotel, but Nikko is a fee train stops away. Breakfast and dinner buffets were expansive and highly recommended. Staff are always friendly and polite.
Extremely well appointed hotel with many luxury items including. The buffet was top notch. Everything about the hotel get top score. The town however, was a dump. Not much was open within walking distance
Nice Hotel
We are family of 5, consist grand pa grand ma. dad ,mom and 9 years old girl.
We stay in Japanese room, nice room, nice service.
Breakfast and dinner buffet were brilliant! of all us love it.
Onsen is nice
All facility is suit for everyone.
We will come back agian
Staff very friendly! Spend the extra money for the onsen in the room and for the buffet dinner! They are both worth every penny! We can’t wait to go back. The only downside was the bed/futon and bean pillows. The bed and pillow was uncomfortable and my husband didn’t like the futon and he sleeps on the floor every night. The “Las Vegas” was ok but many machines were down. Loved the pipe organ!!
We stayed at Asaya for 3 nights and it was one of the more memorable experiences during our 2 week Japan sojourn.
All the staff from the front desk crew to other supporting staff were very friendly and it was obvious that they strived to make our stay enjoyable.
The buffet dinner and breakfast were excellent with a great variety of Japanese and Western items. All were freshly prepared with local ingredients.
The decor of the property has a very distinct 1980's vibe but the management manages to keep the hotel in good shape and the facility is very well maintained.
All in all, highly recommended if you are in Nikko area.
Our room was clean, well maintained and well furnished. The decor of the public rooms are a bit dated and could use a refresh. We only stayed one night and the location is distant from Nikko. If you lack a car, this location may not be for you. We came from Nikko by private car hire and left the same way. Buffet dining offered many selections but seating was crowded.
Absolutely wonderful room- king bed with private hot spring bath ( room 1127). Wonderful amenities, goodies, drinks in fridge, etc. spacious, clean, well appointed. Half board very fun! Discount tickets for Edo Wonderland. So much fun!! Only 30 minutes to Nikko sightseeing- we had a private driver take us around for the day. Highly recommend 3 nights! One to rest up, one to spend the day at Edo Wonderland, one to enjoy NIKKO. Very relaxing with history and culture, we really enjoyed this area! The hotel has lots of Japanese Princess dolls on exhibit!
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.
The hotel is very nice on the inside, but the area outside looks derelict. Also my own fault, but the area is not close to the major Nikko areas, it took us about 2 hours to get to the Kegon Waterfall, or about an hour to the Toshogu Shrine with trains that came hourly. I wanted to explore the Nikko National Park but wasn't really able to complete that part of the trip. However, if you want a relaxing trip from Tokyo, this is a great place to go. Keep in mind that Taxi cabs from the Station are about 1600 Yen but they do offer a 200 Yen bus that you can arrange beforehand.
The hotel itself is very clean, updated, comfortable. The room we had was on the traditional side and was spacious with a separate bedroom with balcony with river view.
Buffet dinner was delicious. Hot tubs is clean and amenities including shower head were great. Recommend to stay just one night. Because the “Kinugawa” itself is a small town and surrounded by abandoned buildings, not much to do.
The check in staff didn’t let me know you needed reservation for the return taxi. I planned to grab a taxi to the train station at the check out but then, the staff told me without taxi reservation or shuttle reservation, waiting time for a taxi is around one hour. We ended up walked to the train station but missed the train and spent 5 hours waiting for the next train.
I think the hotel staff should have let me know the reservation when I checked in as they knew we took a taxi to get to the hotel at check in.
Lack of taxi service is understandable due to the size of town, so make sure to ask about the taxi or shuttle for your return!!!
The check in staff was impersonal. The hotel seems to cater to a large group of people so if you are looking for more of traditional type of Japanese hotel service, look other hotels. But over all great hotel experience.
