What guests think

At Tokinoniwa, travelers highlight a serene onsen retreat with many bathing options, private in room tubs, and thoughtful touches like free late night noodles and ice cream, alongside generally friendly service and a calm, tatami-lined environment.

The location is away from the town center, but free shuttles and parking help with access. Staff are kind, though English ability varies and a few guests reported communication or billing frustrations. A handful mentioned maintenance or availability issues with saunas or private baths, occasional corridor noise or warm rooms, and mixed views on meal quality, variety, and scheduling. Expect a relaxing, onsen-focused stay.

You can walk the entire hotel barefoot since it is lined with tatame mats. Hotel offered all you can eat noodles, yokult and ice-cream at different hours of the day. There were so many onsen options: (1) personal (on your balcony), (2) private and (3) common. There were a good varieties within the private and common onsens. Amazing experience.

The facilities were great, although shared facilities with another sister hotel makes for a lot of wait time for private onsens. The food was disappointing and feels more like mass produced food with not a lot of care unlike a smaller ryokan.

Average services, I rate both good and bad. Good is the inclusive meals (optional during booking), I was given a lot of quality food in a presentable traditional Japanese setting, but bad is that my booking includes 2 adults and 1 kid, the hotel told me I needed to pay extra for my kids staying (I had no choice so I paid) and tried to charge me other items like extra bed, extra meal for my kid (I rejected these). I hate how the hotel manage bookings and dishonesty as I had already paid my booking for 3 members in full but then got charged extra when I arrived without any email communication before I check-in, other major problem to the overall experience is that most of the staffs speak broken English and even not understand, I find it very difficult to communicate, also both indoor and outdoor onsen water is all dirty, the outdoor onsen water is not even hot.

ホテル内の移動が靴下若しくは素足での移動でしたがそれでも全体的に清潔で安心できました。また、スタッフの対応も丁寧で温泉も落ち着いて利用できたので満足できました。夜観光では、湯畑のライトアップを観に行く際にもシャトルバスを運行していたので気楽に行けるのが有り難かったです。夜のサービスで夜鳴きそばを頂けましたが、遅い時間に対して皆さん行かれるようで、席が空いていなかったので食べられなかったです。食べたければ早めに行くようにしたほうがいいと思います。悲しかった所として、恐らく１階の部屋のみだと思いますが、季節によっては虫さんが多く訪れるところです。私は屋内のシャワールームにてウェルカムカマドウマサービスを受けました。屋外はしょうがないのですが、屋内は清掃時にしっかり確認していただきたいところでした。

The hotel is brilliant overall. The room was big and clean, with the needed toiletries. The heating might be too warm for my partner and me, and we had to leave the balcony door open to let in fresh air. We definitely love the Japanese balcony and onsen bath. The food for dinner and breakfast was local and delicious. It's easier to get to the hotel if you drive. The hotel does provide shuttles. It would be better if the young staff could learn better English as there were plenty of international tourists. It did create some funny embarrassment. For instances, I was not given my pair of shoes but wooden sandals to wear in order to park my car properly in the right parking space; I was not given my room keys during check-in though we were in a hurry to dine. To our surprise, the staff member with the best English was the young lady serving us at the restaurant. We'd like to thank her for this. (P.S. I do speak some Japanese.) Overall, it was a great experience, and we enjoyed the stay.

Almost everything is fantastic, except one - air conditioning。 The air conditioning kept blowing warm wind, even we had adjusted as lowest temperature could be set(16'C)。 Tried several time and checked with hotel staff, the issue remained. Only option was to keep the terrace door slightly open to get some cold / fresh air into room, while must return off the air conditioning when leaving the room.

For instances, I was not given my pair of shoes but wooden sandals to wear in order to park my car properly in the right parking space; I was not given my room keys during check-in though we were in a hurry to dine. To our surprise, the staff member with the best English was the young lady serving us at the restaurant. We'd like to thank her for this. (P.S. I do speak some Japanese.) Overall, it was a great experience, and we enjoyed the stay.

The hotel is brilliant overall. The room was big and clean, with the needed toiletries. The heating might be too warm for my partner and me, and we had to leave the balcony door open to let in fresh air. We definitely love the Japanese balcony and onsen bath. The food for dinner and breakfast was local and delicious. It's easier to get to the hotel if you drive. The hotel does provide shuttles. It would be better if the young staff could learn better English as there were plenty of international tourists. It did create some funny embarrassment.

Loved my stay here. The property has several onsens to try, and the accomodation and dining was also good quality. Appreciate the small gestures such as free ice cream and ramen and different times of the day. One thing to note though is that the hotel is not close to the city centre, and although a free shuttle bus service is provided, it can be quite packed at times.

ホテルから湯畑までの送迎バスがあり、駐車場悩むことなく、草津温泉街を巡れたこと。夕食時間が５時からと早い時間帯でしたが、夜の湯畑のライトアップを見れる時間としてのバスの時間を提案していただき楽しめました。欲を言えば、9時台の送迎があればもう少しゆっくりとできたと思います。

최고의 숙소에서 너무나도 잘쉬고 잘먹고 갔습니다. 유바다케하고는 도보로 15분 정도 소요되나 숙소위치가 복잡하지않고 주차장이 있어서 너무 좋았습니다. 시설과 가이세키, 조식 너무나도 만족스러웠고,직원들께서도 친절하셔서 만족스럽고 잘쉬다 갔습니다. *사진은 일부만 올립니다 ^^

客室、設備、その他サービスは5⭐️だと思います。ただし、食事は最悪。我々は夫婦と娘と娘孫(小1)の4人で利用しましたが、16時チェックイン時にチェックインが遅いので夕食は20時15分からと設定されました。大人だけなら耐えれますが、子供には耐えられません。また何と髪の毛入りの食材が。最悪。

The facilities were great, although shared facilities with another sister hotel makes for a lot of wait time for private onsens. The food was disappointing and feels more like mass produced food with not a lot of care unlike a smaller ryokan.

This is a great onsen experience. The 3 private onsens available for all patrons is great. But the highlight of my time there were the meals.

This is a beautiful onsen with a friendly hard working staff. My only complaint is that there are no options for breakfast. We have stayed at several onsen in the past that offer traditional Japanese breakfast or western breakfast. I’m kind of picky about seafood, and I don’t like it for breakfast. My breakfast was mainly hoke, a whole (head to tail) grilled fish.

Exceptional experience, from the very first shuttle pick-up at the bus terminal, to arriving the resort greeted by the staffs, check-in process is easy and warm. The room is detailed with Japanese accents making the stays very enjoyable. The dinner and breakfast are also an exceptional. Highly recommended!

Great stay! Staff was friendly and courteous. I really enjoyed the private onsen in the room and 3 private outdoor onsens. In addition, there is a free shuttle bus to the bus terminal near the center of town and Yubatake. Will definitely come back!

Do not pay for the kaiseki breakfast and lunch it is really not worth it. The onsens and the staff are great. But avoid paying for the diner and breakfast. When we pay more than 500 usd per night we expect the possibility to choose a vegetarian meal. But they just refused. They offer a list of 28 ingredients that you have to remove all together (including sea food, eggs, milk....and some meat). And even if you order this, they still can serve you lamb or duck... It is not my first high end ryokan but it is th first time i see this kind of process.... The kaiseki is a big part of the price we pay and it is definetely not worth it...

The room is clean and comfortable, even though it is a bit aging. Staff are friendly. However, there is room for improvement on the meals provided.
