It is a very small hotel in a very quiet small town. We didn't feel very impressed when we first saw the hotel. After we checked in and went to our onsen, it was so amazing and then our fantastic dinner. It was Wows!!! Everything was so perfect, relaxing and so peaceful. We also felt in love with the town. It was so peaceful and didn't want to leave. It worth every afford to get there. Love love it so so much!!!

An amazing 5-star japanese experience right from the beginning. Greeted in the parking lot as we drove up. Check-in was very friendly and professional. The ryokan is exceptional in every respect - very traditional and japanese but also extremely comfortable. Room was large, beautiful, and we even had our own ofuro (bathtub) in the room. Dinner was an experience to behold - wonderful. We brought our own wine and that was fine. The onsen are spotless and lovely. The only disappointment - from my research there was a konyoku (mixed) bath available. But it seems that is no longer the case. There is one indoor and one outdoor (rotemburo) bath for men and the same for women but there are no mixed baths (konyoku) anymore. There are 3 private family baths that you can book for an extra 1080 yen for a 45 minute session. But if you don't book a family bath you will not be able to soak with your partner.

Fantastic traditional Japanese ryokan in mountains
The ryokan and its environs are spectacular. Still was winter there when we visited, so the wall of icicles was visible next to the bridge from the lobby and from our room. Traditional Japanese room with futons and tatami.

Definitely worth a visit
Without a car it's definitely a little bit of a mission on trains and buses to get here, but it's absolutely worth the effort - and actually once you get hold of a timetable (easier said than done) the connections are pretty decent from Nikko and Kinugawaonsen - although they don't run too late. There is not a huge amount to "do" around Honke Bankyu, but it's set in a lovely little village and the staff can help you find some nice trekking areas....though they may not warn you that the trekking can be pretty steep...it's not a little walk in flip flops! The Onsen itself is great, but the stand out reason for visiting is the hugely impressive dinner - truly a memorably unusual and delicious experience.

Great stay! Don't arrive late!
Great stay here. It is in the middle of nowhere, which we appreciated. HOwever, if you arrive at the train station after 5pm or so, there are no taxis, nothing to get you to the hotel. We arrived at nearly 8pm and everything was shut down at the station and there is nothing else around. Thankfully we did find one gentleman who called the hotel and picked us up.

A fantastic onsen
It was a beautiful ryokan with unique, traditional decor at every turn. We were welcomed a little earlier than check-in, which was nice, and we had tea and yummy treats in their lounge with a view of their old bridge and the river. We even saw wild monkeys! The onsen was clean and relaxing. Even though we only stayed one night, it was incredible! Although it is a few hours from Tokyo, it was well worth the trip. Going by the Tobu train and then one bus was actually really easy.

It's a bit far, it takes some time to get there but once you are there, you dont want to leave. The place is really beautiful, baths by the river is an unforgettable experience, the food is quite nice and the stuff is really welcoming and helpful.

忘れ物を送って下さりありがとうございございました
忘れ物をしましたが、丁寧に送って下さいました。朝食時に布団を下げるリクエストをしていた事を忘れてしまい、部屋を散らかしたまま朝食に行ってしまいました。そのせいか無くし物をしてしまい、帰りにお願いをしてきましたが、翌日には見つかったとお電話を下さいました。大したものではないので、簡単な発送でよかったのですが、大変丁寧な発送をして下さいまして本当にありがとうございます。 吊り橋を渡っての夕食や、露天風呂、ラウンジでのゆっくりとした時間、また是非伺いたいと思います。

食事がおいしい宿
客室は思ったより内装が安っぽい感じでしたが、滞在は快適でした。 食事が特に美味しく満足で、接客もちょうどよい距離感でよかったです。 気になった点は以下。 ＊チェックインがせわしない：到着してすぐにラウンジに通されてすぐにフロントに呼び出され、チェックイン手続き後部屋に案内されたが、太鼓はいらないので、ウェルカムドリンクを飲みながらラウンジチェックインで一息ついた後に案内等価格に見合った落ち着いた接客でもよいかも。 ＊食事の提供：お酒を飲みながら、食事をしているのに焼き物も出来上がっていない段階で食事と汁物を持ってきたり、デザートを持ってきたりされると特に長居をしていたわけでもないのにせわしない。食事がとてもおいしかっただけに残念。
