Top Kawaji Onsen Hotel Reviews

TAOYA Kawaji

10/10 Excellent

"great place"

Fairfield by Marriott Tochigi Nikko

10/10 Excellent

"From checkin to checkout, our experience at the hotel was great. The staff were great to deal with, very friendly. The hotel room was clean and spacious. We used the shuttle to and from the train station with no issues. The hotel is a bit away from the main area, however, it is walkable when it's light out. I would not recommend lugging your bags from the train station. Either use the shuttle or take a taxi."
