Asaya – A Favorite for Families in Nikko

Asaya Hotel has been open since 1888, offering a rich history alongside facilities like a beauty salon and a bedrock bath. Guests have access to three on-site hot spring baths, including the aerial garden open-air bath, which is the highest in the region. The hotel also provides a nightclub, game room, and karaoke facilities for evening entertainment.

The hotel offers two accommodation styles: the Hachi-bankan, which has the feel of a traditional Japanese inn, and the Shuho-kan with a more refined atmosphere. Rooms in the Hachi-bankan come with Simmons beds and charcoal elements, and many have private baths looking out to the Kinugawa River. Guests can choose rooms with tatami areas, private hot spring baths, or both, as seen in the River view Superior Room with Tatami Area and Private Hot Spring Bath.

The dinner buffet serves around 80 different dishes, including Chinese, Japanese, and Western options, while the breakfast buffet offers about 60 variations of Japanese and Western meals. Both buffets are included in half-board plans and are served in designated restaurants on site. A kid-friendly buffet is also available for younger guests.

Asaya Hotel has an indoor play area and a kids' room, making it a suitable choice for families traveling with children. A game corner and family-friendly rooms with tatami areas provide additional space and entertainment. The property is a 10-minute drive from Edo Wonderland theme park, and discounted tickets can be arranged through the hotel.

The hotel is a 13-minute walk from Kinugawa Koen Train Station and a 10-minute drive from the Edo Wonderland theme park. Nikko Toshogu Shrine is a 40-minute drive away, and the Edelweiss Ski Resort can be reached by car for winter sports. Shuttle buses are available from Utsunomiya Train Station at an additional fee, and a bus stop is located right in front of the property.
