We absolutely loved our stay here! The hot tub was spacious enough to stretch our legs, and it was a wonderful experience to have a private hot spring bath. We’re definitely planning to return for another stay!

Great place to stay while in Nikko, its a bit away from the main part of the city- around 15min walk uphill, but the place is trully amazing and the thermal bath and sauna is cherry on top.

This property was beautiful, I wish I could have stayed longer. Great kitchen, spa room with bath, everything you needed and everything felt brand new. Location was a bit out of town and was either a bus, taxi or a long walk uphill. This was my favorite property in Japan. I would definitely stay longer next time.

Very clean property! The room was massive. It was like staying in a personal spa. Hot spring bath and sauna were also very clean.
Everything went smoothly. Only one annoying check-in process, asking for date of birth, where you come from, and where you would be heading to, as a must information for check in.

The hot spring and sauna were very relaxing and enjoyable. The rooms are spacious. The area has very limited food options and the walk uphill can be strenuous. Stargazing is a nice option.

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.

This place was wonderful! I was traveling with 3 friends and there was plenty of room for us all to spread out and be comfortable. Great kitchen for family cooking and the private onsen was AMAZING! There was even a telescope for star gazing, which was a nice surprise. Highly recommend.
