Top Lake Ikari Hotel Reviews

Hoshino Resorts KAI Kinugawa

10/10 Excellent

"."

Rakuten STAY VILLA Kinugawa Riverside

10/10 Excellent

"Property is marvelously remodeled to western standards while retaining traditional Japanese essence. It is situated in a quiet neighborhood with no street noise whatsoever. The outdoor tub(onsen) us a welcome place of tranquility. Large drop down screen provided super video entertainment but candidly a large television would be easier to operate and adjust. Unit is a stone's throw from all the major sightseeing spots and others can be easily accessed by purchasing a day pass on the Red and Green loop buses. Definitely no need to rent a car as parking can be an issue. Easy to reach via 4 minute taxi ride from train station. Of particular note is the huge fish market which also has a large super market for breakfast essentials. Very much worth the stay."

Hotel Sunshine Kinugawa

10/10 Excellent

"Buffet dinner with steak and tempura. Good onsen water."

LiVEMAX RESORT KAWAJI

10/10 Excellent

"Très bel hôtel, chambre avec bain : wow!"

Kaederesort Kinugawaonsen

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful experience. They made our first visit to the area a wonderful experience. The large onsen was just what our group needed after hiking and walking all day in Nikko. We all slept amazing. Quiet, clean and excellent service from the staff. Highly recommended."

Hotel Ootaki

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed only for one night but the hotel was excellent, staff were helpful, spacious Japanese style room. A bit of walk from the Kinugawa Onsen Station but it is a nice walk. I will stay again if I am in the area again."

Kinugawa Onsen Nikko Kinugawa Hotel Mikazuki

10/10 Excellent

"Spa and pools were premium. Staff is laways friendly and helpful. We stayed on the Ninth floor Club9 with an osen in the room. Most excellent!"

Oyado Yunotoki

10/10 Excellent

"This ryokan was one of the absolute highlights of our Japan trip. As a couple travelling with two young adult kids, it was the perfect place for all of us to slow down and recharge after Tokyo. The biggest highlight was the four private onsens — no reservations needed, yet there was always at least one (often even more) available. It made everything feel so relaxed and effortless. The ryokan itself is small, intimate, and incredibly well thought out, with beautiful attention to detail and high-quality touches like POLA amenities. If you want to experience a true traditional ryokan, this is it. There were hardly any foreigners, and the staff spoke very little English — but somehow we managed just fine, which made it feel even more authentic. The secluded setting adds to that peaceful, escape-from-it-all vibe. The food deserves a special mention — we stayed for two nights and every breakfast and dinner was completely different and absolutely exquisite. It really elevated the whole experience. We were initially concerned about having no bathroom in the room, but it turned out to be the best thing — it gave us more reason to keep going back to the onsen. Our kids loved it so much they’ve already made us promise to return on our next Japan trip. Highly recommend. ✨"
