Search Ryokans in Chuzenji Onsen

"Buffet was excellent with an enormous array of food. Private onsen was approx ¥3300 for 45minutes. There is quite a lot to do around the local area, we stayed one night but easily could have filled in two days."

"This hotel is a modern hotel and is very clean. We needed to catch a taxi from the station to get there. There is a bus that stops near the hotel but its schedule wasn’t convenient. The common area of the hotel is very welcoming to have breakfast as there is a kitchen for guests to use. There is a small shop in the corner of reception to buy food. "

"Beautiful room with plenty of space and all the amenities we needed. "

"I loved the villa that we stayed in. It was very spacious and clean. The bathrooms were very luxurious with a soaking tub, sauna and hotspring water. The place is a bit far to walk to from the station if you have bags, so taking a taxi for a few minutes from the station is a better option. "

"Ideal room setup for a family with small kids. The futons can be closed off with the partition allowing for separation between kids and adult. Shower and onsen were spacious and the room came with kitchenette including stove, fridge and microwave. Good location within walking distance of restaurants, stores and some local attractions. "

"I liked the authenticity to providing a feel for Japanese style living whilst also keeping it comfortable and clean."

"Very good hot springs facility."

"I took my brother to Japan, and I wanted him to experience a traditional "ryokan", and even though the IROHA Hotel has "hotel" in the name, it is very much a ryokan with tatami floors in the rooms, shoji and fusuma doors, and you sleep on futons. There is a communal bath in the hotel in addition to the "unit baths" (with commode, sink, and shower/bath) in the rooms. They serve a traditional Japanese breakfast with rice, miso soup, pickles, grilled fish, simmered soybeans and hijiki (seaweed), shredded cabbage, with an egg and some bacon- very much the gohan (rice) okazu (variety of different foods). The IROHA is right across the street from Nikko Toshogu, one of the big tourist destinations in Nikko so the location is great. The big drawback of the IROHA is its age. It looks like it was built in the 1970's and has not been updated since then. It is very clean but old- faded carpet, dated wall coverings. This is likely why it is fairly inexpensive relative to other properties around it. A big highlight of check-in was the woman at reception. She wore a very attractive kimono, which I complimented, and she let me know her mother made it, which was also impressive. If you can get past the age of the hotel, it is possible to get a glimpse of traditional Japan, which is well worth it in my opinion. (Note also we had a minor medical emergency while staying at the IROHA, and they jumped into action to help.)"

"We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Ootaki and would definitely return. The hotel is very traditional and gives you a real insight into traditional Japanese culture. Although the staff had limited English, this was not a problem for us and they were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The hotel has lots of freebies as part of their service including combs, hairbrushes, shower caps, razors etc. The onsen was very relaxing and the hotel was clean. "
