It was a beautiful, historic place to stay. It was convenient to get to Toshogu.

It’s a historic property and has a quaint lodge elegance. The service and amenities are very nice. The food is delicious. The room is comfortable I wish there were more electrical outlets close to the beds but I was nonetheless able to charge my devices without issue. The location, just a very few minutes walk to the entrance to all the shrines, as well as to the bus stop, is super convenient.

This property has a rustic and tired charm and elegance about it. It is the country hotel of fifty years ago when such structures used local building materials. It wears its historic aura well!

Appreciated the hotel tour after check-in to learn a bit about its fascinating history and that the building and rooms have mostly maintained its interior design of catering toward western guests back in the days. The age of the facility was expected and added to its charm and if any complaint in that aspect, was the challenge that we had adjusting the room temperature at night when the radiators kicked on (I guess we could have just opened the windows). Great service by all the staff. We enjoyed our dinner and breakfast at the hotel's restaurant. Hotel is situated in a very convenient location to visit the Nikko To-sho-gu.

Step back in time- we love historic hotels. Fabulous staff and service. Incredible views from our room and walkable (hilly) to bridge and shrines. Dinner and breakfast delightfully served with beautiful china, crystal and silver. The hotel is a bit historically 'tired' but very clean. For those who desire newer rooms, they are completely restoring one building which will open this summer.
