Nikko Kinugawa Hotel Mikazuki — Hotel in Nikko

My first impression - very expensive, but when I got to see the place, tried their onsen and the buffet all I can say is wow ...it is an experience to be remembered especially for a foreigner like me.||||I stayed here for 1 night together with my wife and mother-in-law. The room has 2 double-size (or is it single-size) beds and plenty of futons. Since requested my wife that I wanted to experience a ryokan style I opt for the futon over the tatami. I had 1 nicest sleep ever, maybe also due to the onsen bath I took before sleeping.||||Dinner was buffet and I had my cravings for seafoods (esp. crab) satisfied. most food are good and nicely presented although few choices of free drinks. Breakfast is also nice. Choices ranged from japanese, chinese to western and there are more choices for the free drinks.||||If you are staying then you have to change into traditional japanese clothings which the hotel provided. No wifi internet in the room but there is in the lobby.||||Amenities includes onsen, swimming pool and table tennis but there is a time so inquire at the front desk if you want to play. The onsen is not mixed bath and they interchange the use at night and in the morning. Both onsens have outdoor onsen but one of them has this golden bathtub...yes real gold. So what's the benefit, trully I don't know but you got to get the bragging rights that you got to soak in the golden...

This hotel is big and lots of fun for the kids. However, room smelled like smoke which was disgusting.||The hotel is quite near to the station. The place is very clean and well maintained. It is a beautifully decorated and spacious hotel. The staff are very nice and friendly. The check-in was easy and they offered welcome drinks in the beautiful lounge.||The hotel has an indoor pool with a slide, an outdoor pool (shallow and for lounging) overlooking to river valley and also an onsen. The onsen was big and lots of different baths, really great.Sauna was closed due to corona. Changing rooms very spacious and clean.||They also have a game room.||Dinner and breakfast buffets were quite nice, although food is not the strongest point for Mizazuki, it was OK. Strange thing was I told a staff lady during breakfast that they were out of hot tea, and she said that there was no more. Not sure she was just lazy or they actually ran out of tea.||Room was big and nice layout, however there was an embedded smell of smoking. Disgusting, not sure why the hotel still lets people destroy their property with smoking. This was the downside to our stay.||All in all, Mikazuki is a fun place if you have kids and...

I've never stayed at the hotel but I often go to the co-ed pool which is wonderful❣️So bring your swimwear. Caps are not mandatory so it's your choice. Towels are also included in the very reasonable fee. The hugh pool has a current, so you can just float or swim against the current for a workout. The pool has a slide and many cubbies with jet sprays, waterfalls and fountains. There's a hot tub. saunas and steam rooms. Deck chairs to relax on. It's great for families, and float toys are allowed ✨ Staff members are friendly and helpful and will stamp your parking card so parking is free. The dressing room has free lockers (100¥ key returned) and is super clean and beautiful. There are extra towels and the hairdryers available in the dressing room. You can enjoy the osen before and or after your swim. And there's a spin dryer for your swimwear in the dressing room. Swimwear and goggles, etc. are available to purchase, if you don't have swimwear. And they have a nice variety of swimwear for men, women and children. My husband and I enjoy going to...
