Hotel is next to a small lake about 15 minutes past Chuzenji. You can walk around the lake, fish, hike and rent a boat, and it feels more “off the beaten path” while close to main Nikko attractions. Hotel is clean, updated, with kind staff. Hotel onsen is simple but offers both indoor and outdoor baths. Slight sulfur smell but did wonders for my arthritis. Definitely would go again. We opted to stay and extra night because it was so comfortable. If you hike after checking out use the free town foot spa before heading home.
