森のうた Morinouta Forest Stay in Nikko

The meals were incredible. They even gave you a bag to carry extras to your room.

The meals - dinner and breakfast were superb.

Établissement très charmant avec des chambres d'un style année 70 (mais cependant très rénovées). L'onsen privatif est très agréable et est facile d'utilisation. Les gérants sont aimables et offrent des gâteaux à l'arrivé ainsi qu'au checkout. Pas de gros points négatifs en somme !

Le quartier est très peu éclairé une fois la nuit tombée, ce qui rend le fait de s'y rendre difficile. De plus, il faut faire attention à Google Maps qui se trompe parfois sur les horaires des bus (personnellement, j'ai dû venir à pied dans la pénombre depuis la gare de Tobu-Nikko à 1h environ).

My friend and I stayed at Morinouta Hotel for one night, and it turned out to be such a lovely experience. The staff were genuinely friendly at one point, the host came over and asked if we wanted some homemade cheesecake (obviously yes, because… cheesecake). They also gave us tips on places to check out nearby, which was really helpful. The rooms were cosy and comfortable, with huge windows that are perfect for sitting by with a cup of tea or for taking slightly dramatic, Victorian-style photos if you’re in the mood.

Nothing!

Excellent breakfast and dinner

Beautiful view from the a very spacious room. Extremely clean, newly renovated private bathroom. The private showers with a hot tub were much nicer compared to other Northern traditional Japanese Inns. The hosts were so kind and generous. They treated us like family!

This place is a treasure! I had no idea what to expect, but this was above and beyond. The Innkeeping family was a delight! Helpful, kind, and thoughtful. The meals were terrific. I enjoyed the onsens several times a day, morning and night, to deal with aching muscles from all the hiking I did. I actually booked two nights here, but I enjoyed it so much I booked a third night! One of the most delightful stays I've had anywhere. Thank you, Thank you!

I loved everything. The location was only a tiny bit inconvenient from the station, but it was absolutely worth it. Probably if it had been closer to the station it would have been noisy with too many people around. There was a very convenient bus stop only meters from the front door.

Be sure to get the half-board option which includes a beautiful 5-course dinner and breakfast. It is a proper affair with everything prepared from scratch by the chef. We loved how everything felt personal at the hotel, like we were sitting in someone's home. We also loved how kind and friendly everyone was - despite the fact that we spoke broken Japanese 😊 The hotel offers parking. The sento was clean and private. Such a lovely unforgettable stay - highly recommend.

nothing at all!
