Exceptional

It is a very small hotel in a very quiet small town. We didn't feel very impressed when we first saw the hotel. After we checked in and went to our onsen, it was so amazing and then our fantastic dinner. It was Wows!!! Everything was so perfect, relaxing and so peaceful.
We also felt in love with the town. It was so peaceful and didn't want to leave. It worth every afford to get there. Love love it so so much!!!
An amazing 5-star japanese experience right from the beginning. Greeted in the parking lot as we drove up. Check-in was very friendly and professional. The ryokan is exceptional in every respect - very traditional and japanese but also extremely comfortable. Room was large, beautiful, and we even had our own ofuro (bathtub) in the room. Dinner was an experience to behold - wonderful. We brought our own wine and that was fine. The onsen are spotless and lovely. The only disappointment - from my research there was a konyoku (mixed) bath available. But it seems that is no longer the case. There is one indoor and one outdoor (rotemburo) bath for men and the same for women but there are no mixed baths (konyoku) anymore. There are 3 private family baths that you can book for an extra 1080 yen for a 45 minute session. But if you don't book a family bath you will not be able to soak with your partner.
Leuke ervaring. Ga voor de onsen en het eten. Beiden zijn van bijzondere klasse maar daar is de prijs ook naar. Min puntje is de rigide wijze waarop met de tijden voor de onsen wordt omgegaan. Deze zijn een belangrijk deel van de dag dicht ivm onderhoud terwijl wordt geafficieerd met 24 uur open.
Meravigliosa location, il ryocan si affaccia sul fiumiciattolo ed è collegato alla sala da pranzo attraverso un ponte tibetano. Cena divina nella sala in perfetto ed elegante stile locale. La Onsen meravigliosa quella esterna suggestivo l'affaccio. Le camere pulite e veramente accoglienti il futon viene sistemato dal personale sia la sera che la mattina. Assolutamente da provare. Da sapere che dista circa 40km dai templi di Nikko.
Fantastic traditional Japanese ryokan in mountains
The ryokan and its environs are spectacular. Still was winter there when we visited, so the wall of icicles was visible next to the bridge from the lobby and from our room. Traditional Japanese room with futons and tatami.
Without a car it's definitely a little bit of a mission on trains and buses to get here, but it's absolutely worth the effort - and actually once you get hold of a timetable (easier said than done) the connections are pretty decent from Nikko and Kinugawaonsen - although they don't run too late.
There is not a huge amount to "do" around Honke Bankyu, but it's set in a lovely little village and the staff can help you find some nice trekking areas....though they may not warn you that the trekking can be pretty steep...it's not a little walk in flip flops!
The Onsen itself is great, but the stand out reason for visiting is the hugely impressive dinner - truly a memorably unusual and delicious experience.
