TAOYA Nikko Kirifuri

This hotel is not worth the price in terms of hardware or software. The hotel is old in terms of hardware. You have to get your own toiletries and clothes. There is no internal line in the room to the front desk. You have to use your own mobile phone to call the front desk. The indoor and outdoor pools are not very big. There is no service staff at the hotel entrance to welcome and carry luggage. It feels like a business hotel. The child is 7 years old and they said that they would charge an additional fee. It cost more than 60,000 yen for two nights, but they didn’t give me an extra bed. Not to mention that they didn’t even have a pillow at the beginning. Seeing that I was about to get angry, they reluctantly gave me a pillow. Breakfast and dinner are buffets. There are many varieties and the taste is not bad, but the ingredients should be more advanced at this price. Checked in on the 31st and checked out on January 2nd. It happened to be the New Year in Japan these days, but the hotel didn’t have the New Year atmosphere at all. Whether it was the front desk or the restaurant staff, even the guests staying in the hotel, they seemed very depressed. The only cute smile I saw was a grandmother who was cleaning the bathhouse, who greeted me very warmly. We didn't enjoy our stay at this hotel and booked Kinugawa Mikazuki on the day we checked out. The service and food were much better at the same price. The guests staying there were also smiling, which made us feel much better. We will not stay at TAOYA again.

There are shuttle buses from Tobu Nikko Station and Jr Nikko Station every hour. It feels quite convenient. It takes about 20 minutes to drive from the station to the hotel. The hotel is in the mountains, the environment and air are very good. Staying for 1 night and 2 nights, we took the shuttle bus at 4 o'clock and arrived at the hotel at around 5 o'clock. It was the second batch's turn for dinner at around 7 o'clock. We couldn't change the time, so we waited until we were hungry. Dinner is still very rich, with a variety of good dishes, and the steak is recommended. There are also a variety of alcoholic beverages. Breakfast was also good. The hot spring is on the top floor, the water is very good, and there is an outdoor hot spring. You can soak in the hot spring and enjoy the night, moonlight or starry sky. The hotel room is also large and overall very good. Disadvantages: The pillows are not very comfortable and a bit hard. In addition, the sink and table are relatively low in design, making them not very convenient to use.
