“Kinugawa Plaza Hotel seems committed to the traditional ryokan experience, and I noted how it emphasizes natural hot-spring baths amid lush surroundings. The prospect of unwinding with a Kaiseki dinner, followed by a Ganbanyoku hot-rock spa treatment, certainly sounds appealing. It stands out as a solid base for exploring Nikko National Park and the nearby cultural attractions.”
