Asaya Hotel

We chose one of the traditional tatami rooms, which came with breakfast, dinner, and lounge access. It was spacious, very clean, and amazing. The buffet dinner had literally a hundred different choices, and breakfast in the small restaurant was fantastic too. The staff were professional, welcomed us right away, and some spoke English. This is an excellent hotel in the Nikko area, with regular rooms as well as tatami ones. Simply an amazing experience.

We stayed three nights, early December, from the 2nd to the 4th. The check-in was smooth, the room and food were great, and the staff did their best to meet our needs. Definitely recommend it.

We were surprised by how hospitable and helpful the service was. It's a great onsen hotel, and the luxury option includes both breakfast and dinner. Definitely one I'd recommend!

The food was a real highlight, with a huge buffet full of choices from around the world. Our room had a tatami section and was massive, and we liked soaking in the bath in the room. We could hear the river below, which was relaxing. The staff were consistently friendly and polite. There's a lot on site, including restaurants, pools, shops, and bars, though the bars weren't open during our visit. It felt like a five-star resort, a bit like a cruise ship, after the dial bus ride from the station through what seemed like a ghost town full of derelict buildings. We went to the world heritage area and walked around Ryuzu Falls. Snow and ice made the walk a little tricky, but it was beautiful. The hotel may suit people with a car or anyone who'd rather stay on-site. One thing to know: despite what Google says, the world heritage pass doesn't work on the dial bus, which costs 300 yen cash.
